Chromebook or Windows: who should buy these
Buy a Chromebook if you mostly use a browser, Google Docs, online classes and web apps. Skip it if your course or job needs software that installs only on Windows. Checked on 9 Nov 2026.
- Updates: Google says ChromeOS devices receive 10 years of updates from the platform release date.
- Android apps: you can download Android apps from the Play Store, but some don't work on some Chromebooks.
- MS Office: Microsoft says you can't install desktop Microsoft 365 or Office on a Chromebook; use Office on the web instead.
- Coding: Linux on a Chromebook runs code editors and IDEs, but hardware acceleration isn't supported, so it's for learning, not heavy work.

FAQs
Can I get a Windows laptop under 30000?
This guide covers Chromebooks and an Android laptop. For Windows laptops, see our under-50000 guide.
Can I use MS Word and Excel on a Chromebook?
Yes, on the web at Office.com: basic editing is free with a Microsoft account, and advanced editing needs a Microsoft 365 subscription. Desktop Office won't install.
Is a Chromebook good for online classes?
For browser-based classes, yes; the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook adds stereo speakers and a 720p camera.
Is 4GB RAM enough on a Chromebook?
For a few tabs and a video class, yes. If you keep many tabs open, the 8GB ASUS CM1405 at ₹28,990 is worth the extra.
Can I learn coding on a Chromebook?
Yes, with Linux turned on: Google says it runs command line tools, code editors and IDEs, though without GPU acceleration.
