LG's Chromebase All in One Computer
LG has announced an all-in-one computer that runs google's chrome OS. The Linux-based operating system used to come pre-installed on laptops or boxes that required similar monitor, however, it would be a first PC to incorporate the system.
Truth be told, we're guessing on the "cheap" part, as LG did not provide a price for the computer. But given that Chromebooks are generally at the low-end of the price spectrum, we'd be surprised if the Chromebase didn't follow suit.
As for the specs, they include an Intel Celeron CPU, 2GB of memory, 16GB of SSD storage and a 1.3-megapixel webcam. On the connectivity front, Chromebase boasts a HDMI port (it can be used as an extra monitor), three USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port and LAN. The device comes with a keyboard and a mouse.
It's worth noting that individual users aren't LG's primary target with the Chromebase, though. In a press release accompanying the announcement, LG writes that it expects the Chromebase to be espeically well received in schools, hotels, and call centers, among other businesses. One of the main selling points of Chrome OS is that you can log into any Chrome OS computer and have your content waiting for you, because it's all stored in the cloud. That could come in handy for students and hotel guests, because those terminals could be totally interchangable.
