LG Chromebase - The Chrome OS Desktop That Looks Like iMac Launching At CES 2014
Under the hood, the Chromebase desktop specs speak of 2GB of RAM and 16GB SSD. There's also an HDMI port, three USB 2 slots, a single USB 3 port and an Ethernet port. There are additional accessories available, such as a keyboard, mouse and a cable tidy. “Simple to operate for all types of users, the award-winning LG Chromebase computer represents the successful combination of simplicity, power and great design,” said Hyoungsei Park, head of the IT Business Division at LG Electronics. “LG Chromebase is the wave of the future for desktops, expected to be widely adopted not only at home, but especially in schools, hotels, call centers and other business settings.”
“LG’s Chromebase is an exciting new form factor that expands the options available to customers who want a fast, simple and secure computing experience for the home, school or office,” said Caesar Sengupta, vice president of product management, Google. “LG Electronics makes great devices that customers love, and we’re glad to welcome them to the Chrome family.” Visitors to LG’s booth at CES 2014 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall - 8024) will have the opportunity to see this unique product for themselves between 7-10 January.
As you can see from the images above, look-wise LG Chromebase is very similar to Apple's iMac. But unlike an iMac or a Macbook, LG Chromebase is not well suited for a heavy user. It can be used by anyone who wants to use the power of the Internet - say at Hotel's reception or School's for basic operations. What do you think about the LG Chromebase features?
