Google unveiled the first Rockchip-powered laptops loaded with Chrome OS back in March when both the Haier Chromebook 11 and Hisense Chromebook became available for pre-order for less than $150 USD. Now the time has come for a big name in the industry to launch such a Chromebook - the Asus C201 can be finally pre-ordered for as little as $169 USD.

The Asus C201 Chromebook model now available for pre-order starting at less than $170 USD comes with the following specs and features:

Processor: Rockchip 3288-C SoC with Mali-T674 graphics
Memory/Storage: 2 GB RAM; 16 GB eMMC internal storage
Display: 11.6-inch HD display with 1,366X768 pixels
Camera: VGA webcam
Connectivity: none specified, most likely USB and HDMI as similar devices
Autonomy: up to 13 hours
Color: navy blue

Various online stores also list a C201 model with 4 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage starting around $200 USD. While the 2 GB/16 GB and 4 GB/16 GB models feature a standard LCD screen, the more powerful 4 GB/32 GB variant is expected to feature a touchscreen display. We will probably hear more about the Asus C201 as large online retailers begin to receive orders and add all the details to the product pages.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
