LG has taken the wraps off their latest project, and announced the Chromebase. It's a 21-inch desktop with a twist. This all-in-one runs ChromeOS instead of a more traditional desktop operating system.

Inside the HD 1920 x 1080 IPS display, you'll find basically the same internals as the existing Samsung Chromebox. The 16GB SSD, 2 GB of RAM and Intel CPU provide more than enough power to run Chrome, and should offer the user a decent experience.

Interesting, but I'm not into all-in-one devices, the monitor for one can outlive the rest of the device for quite some time. What I'd like to see is a "Chromebook in a box", basically a box running Chrome OS (maybe with an external power supply, ala Chromebook laptops) that you can plug a keyboard, mouse and monitor to and get up and running. Given that Chromebook laptops sell for $199 or so, such a box could be sold for maybe $99.

Edit: turns out such a thing already exists, Samsung Chromebox.
