Delivered Fresh: Chromebox And Google

By Shaine Murray


Samsung as well as Google have introduced the next generation of hardware meant to operate Chrome OS. Google's Chrome os is basically an OS developed around an internet browser, and it's made to boot swiftly, let you get on-line within a matter of moments, and run web apps while saving little information to local storage. Read through down below if you prefer Chromebook or Chromebox?

There aren't numerous surprises in today's news. We got early versions of Samsung's new Chromebook as well as ChromeBox at CES in January, and the ultimate product details and prices were inadvertently leaked by retailers a couple weeks ago. In fact, at least one Samsung Chromebox was accidentally sold and evaluated before the release date.

Anyway, things are all official now, and here's what we learn. This is named the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook 550 and the new Chrome OS desktop is referred to as the Samsung Series 3 Chromebox.

There are two forms of these: one with 3G and WiFi, and another with WiFi only. Both Chromebooks as well as the Chromebox feature 4GB of RAM and 16GB solid state disks for storage. They each feature Intel HD 3000 graphics.

These laptops have 12.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel displays, 1.3 GHz Intel Celeron 867 dual core cpus, support for 1080p HD video playback upon an external display via DisplayPort output, 2 USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet jacks, as well as a flash card reader. In addition they feature 1MP front-facing cameras and 802.11n WiFi.

This is a bit smaller considering that there's no built-in screen. The small computer weighs just 2.45 pounds. What's more, it features a more powerful 1.9 GHz Intel Celeron B840 dual core processor chip, 6 USB 2.0 ports, 2 DisplayPorts with support for 2560 x1600 pixel displays 802.11n WiFi, and Ethernet.

Samsung has a keyboard with the Chromebox and gives a Bluetooth keyboard option. This model even offers DVI output.

As soon as Samsung unveiled its first Chromebook this year, Acer also released its own Chromebook at the same time. This season Samsung is definitely the only company up to now introducing brand-new Chrome OS units powered by faster Intel Celeron processor chip.

While it's probably not an excellent indicator that Google used to have a couple of Chrome Operating System partners and now generally seems to have only one, Samsung's latest Chromebook and Google's most recent version of the Chrome operating system are getting to begin with positive reviews.

Chrome OS boots faster, downloads updates immediately, and provides the "security" of stocking all your important data in the cloud - in the event you consider that a component. However it still kind of sounds like you would spend more and obtain less once you get a Chrome OS device instead of a Windows laptop. This is manufactured in partnership with Google.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a demo unit shortly, so maybe I'll change my mind after spending a while using a 2nd generation Chromebook.
