IANSIn a boost for the government’s Make in India programme, Alphabet Inc’s Google has partnered with PC maker HP to manufacture the tech giant’s Chromebook laptops in India from October 2.
“We’re partnering with HP to manufacture Chromebooks in India. These are the first Chromebooks to be made in India and will make it easier for Indian students to have access to affordable and secure computing,” Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google and Alphabet, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"The local production of Chromebooks with HP marks an important step in our efforts to continue supporting the digital transformation of education in India,” Bani Dhawan, head of education – South Asia, Google, said.
Chromebooks, which come with Google’s ChromeOS, are cheaper than notebooks with proprietary operating systems.
The company also expanded its portfolio of locally manufactured commercial desktops by adding various models of desktop mini towers (MT), mini desktops (DM), small form factor (SFF) desktops, and a range of All-in-One PCs.
