New Chromebox from Acer

Quote:
Taiwanese PC maker Acer is bringing Google’s Chrome operating system to desktops with a new unit that will arrive in the U.S. next month.

Acer’s Chromebox CXI, announced on Thursday (and pictured mounted on a separate Acer monitor above), puts the Chrome OS into a small enclosure measuring 0.6 liters in volume. It runs an Intel Celeron 2957U dual-core 1.4GHz processor, has a 16GB solid-state drive, and promises a boot-up time of just 8 seconds.

The device can include up to 4GB in RAM, has four USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, LAN port for wired network connection, and HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. It’s priced from $179.99, including a keyboard and mouse.
Specs are nearly identical to the Asus & HP chromeboxes, except the Acer is using a Celeron 2957U, whereas the other two use the Celeron 2955U. Acer is also tossing in a keyboard and mouse. Not sure if the other two do so.
