Acer is going where no other has gone before by adding a touchscreen to their upcoming all-in-one Chromebase.
Acer's newest addition to the Chrome OS
family will be an all-in-one Chromebase that brings a touchscreen to
the device for the first time ever. Chromebase is an all-in-one desktop
that runs Chrome OS and puts all the required computer components in the
monitor. When talking Chrome OS both the Chromebook and Chromebox are far more common than the Chromebase, which only LG has dabbled in previously.
Acer's Chromebase will feature a 21.5-inch 1080P touchscreen display,
and be powered by a NVIDIA Tegra K1 quad-core processor. It will
include both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on the Chromebase, in addition to
a HDMI out connection and the usual Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
On the front the device will have a built-in HD webcam, offering great
video quality for those Google Hangout chats.
The Acer Chromebase will launch in North American and Asia Pacific
markets in the second quarter of 2015. Pricing has not yet been
announced by Acer.
