Lenovo has announced its new Pocket PC. The Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox has a volume of just 1 liter and is designed to be combined with a monitor and train a team in one simple way. The company will market this model in various configurations with the option to reach Intel Core i7 processors and the Chrome OS operating system, which is having a major success in the US. The flexibility of use and modular nature makes it equipment designed especially for the field of SMEs and students. We tell you all the details have been revealed about the ThinkCentre Chromebox.
So far we’ve heard a lot about the Chromebooks, laptops designed to work in the cloud with Chrome OS system. One idea is also gradually being deployed across desktops. The Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox can be considered a middle way, because despite its classic form has a very compact design for easy transport anywhere (his weight is below the kilo). It also has a maximum length of 7.2 inches, a length similar to that of a compact tablet.
As we said, the challenge of this model is the Chrome OS operating system. If you have not yet met this platform, uses an interface almost identical to Google Chrome browser and much of its operation runs surfing the web and using web apps. Among its advantages we have the speed with which the system is started (by Lenovo this equipment is underway in just three seconds) or the ability to have our data stored in the cloud and accessible from any computer. Clearly, the fact of living “chained” to the Internet is also one of their handicaps, and that its use is very limited when no connection is available.
In its bowels find different processor configurations, from Intel Celeron chips to Intel Core i7 models for increased power. Lenovo wanted to emphasize his versatility with a number of accessories for mounting on the monitor or the rear, as a VESA mount or clamp. Moreover, the Chinese company also highlights the ability of this model to work with the team Lenovo ThinkVision LT2323z. This monitor incorporates a compartment in the rear area in which you can enter directly the Chromebox and then close it securely to prevent theft.
Among the connections, the Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox includes four USB 3.0 ports for high speed rates ten times faster than traditional USB transfer. We also have an HDMI port to transmit the contents to a monitor or a TV, a DisplayPort port or an Ethernet port to connect directly to the network via cable. At the moment we have no data on its price or the date on which he will reach Europe.
