First Ever Desktop PC with Chrome OS Announced




This device was originally not brought out for running Chrome OS instead its initial creation was in order to run Windows 7and Suse Linux. However, the company has announced that the device will also be available for running Chrome OS from this July 4.
Though it is believed that design is just what you like or dislike, yet the Chromium PC has something mischievously attractive about it. It looks different and one can surely say that displaying it in your living room makes you feel far prouder than keeping a netbook out there!
A modular has been used inside and out for designing the computer. The operating system can be switched on by simply switching a board present on the inside part of the device. Added to this, you get a scalable architecture because of the multiple systems that it offers.
The Chromium PC’s specs have not yet been finalized; however, 8 to 25 watt AMD Athlon single or dual core processors are being used for the current Windows as well as the Linux versions.  The PC will come along with two eSATA ports, six USB ports, DVI interface, Ethernet, and connections for video/audio and power.
With its prices ranging from $849 to $1500, one cannot place it in the cheaper PC slot. The ones which will be available at $1500 will come equipped with an SSD of 128 GB along with a faster processor. And with an extra $30 you get a Chrome finish – customization option.
