ASUS is preparing an ultra-affordable Chromebook with a Rockchip processor
Chromebooks are already incredibly affordable, but ASUS looks like they’re preparing to undercut the competition even further with a cheaper model. The ASUS C201 is listed in an education ordering brochure and mentions specs like a Rockchip processor and an 11.6″ inch screen with 4 GB of RAM, and the catalog mentions that it’s the “cheapest Chromebook ever.”
While the brochure divulged the hardware, it didn’t give a clear cut price, so there’s no telling exactly where ASUS wants to try to land this thing in terms of price points. Chromebooks routinely launch for about $199 right now, so anywhere around the $149 – $189 range would probably be a safe bet.
Maybe we’ll see it dip below $100? Not likely, but we can hope. Keep an eye out for some official news from ASUS in the coming weeks.
