It's not clear whether HP has any plans to launch the 14­inch FHD touch­enabled premium Chromebook in India. So far, Google's Chromebook devices have failed to make a huge dent amongst Indian buyers.

Steep pricing and tough competition from Windows­operated machines are some of the reasons why Google hasn't able to expand the availability of Chromebooks in India. Ironically, Chromebooks are doing way better in a number of developed countries.

In Q3 2014, IDC (via The Financial Times) notes that Google shipped 715,500 units of Chromebooks to U.S. schools while Apple shipped 702,000 iPads.
