Asus Chromebox starting at $179!


Asus has announced its plans for a new Chrome based desktop PC. 
Most of us here are familiar with Google's Chrome OS and have seen it on their Chromebooks and have seen the Chromebase, LG's All-In-One Chrome OS PC; but Asus takes it a step further by providing Chrome OS in a tiny $179 desktop box. It is expected to be released in the middle of March 2014. It's proposed specifications can be found on Asus' website




There is also an announcement of a business edition designed for allowing persons to conduct business videoconferencing simpler, easier and quicker than other traditional videoconferencing methods. The participants in the videoconference will be using Vidyo, the leading provider of video conferencing for the enterprise. Vidyo is also interoperable with Google's Hangouts, which makes this move from Google sound like a lot of sense.
For business persons that prefer to use voice-only conferences, Google+ Hangouts is also integrated with UberConference.

The business edition will be packaged with the following accessories:


A speaker/omni-directional microphone with built in DSP for clarity. It includes mute, answer call, end call and volume control buttons.

1080p webcam rocking a Carl Zeiss® lens with autofocus
RF (Radio Frequency) based remote (No line of sight required for control). It also has a full QWERTY keyboard on the rear
