Asus yesterday presented some very interesting new features to Chrome OS (in this case a hybrid and HDMI key). Acer could not remain on the low side: the manufacturer has in turn unveiled its new Chromebook.
And this is a very different format from what we know of Chromebooks usual, since the Chromebase is an all-in-one features a 21.5-inch touch screen (1080p). A touchscreen is it really useful for an operating system that was not designed for this use? Things will change gradually.
Google has indeed indicated that Android would be able to adapt more easily on this type of slab with a backpack kit now open to all. This will help the hybrid Asus as this computer from Acer.
For the rest, it Chromebase works with a K1 Tegra processor, up to 4GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, support wifi 802.11n and Bluetooth, as well as classic 100GB Google Drive available. All will be available in the second quarter, but alas its price is still unknown.
