Prior to that, we have mentioned about Chromebit literally in a nutshell. Now we tell about the new design in more detail. The device was developed in conjunction with the company Asus. He will be able to connect to any display through HDMI and give access to the full Chrome OS. Inside the core 4 is 1.8 GHz, 2GB of RAM and a 16 GB flash memory. It turns out this summer at a price "less than a hundred dollars."
Cesar Sengupta (Caesar Sengupta), the Google product manager, told reporters about the new device, which goes on sale in a few months and will be positioned as a computer for study and business.
Speaking of Chromebit, Sengupta mentioned modern LCD-panels, which have become so cheap that the creation of 42-inch high-quality linen paper and purchase of the same TV complete with Chromebit cost you one and the same amount. But in the second case, you obviously get a lot more features that will be useful in any place: from the school to the projector TVs on the walls of the cafe.
In addition, since the inception of Chrome OS itself is significantly changed. It ceased to be a browser window. There appeared a file manager, and the ability to open multiple windows Chrome. And recently there was even something as they began to run android-application.
The main problems Chromebit we would call value for money and the need to be connected to an external power supply unit. That is, one HDMI Chromebit can not work, it will be necessary to look for a suitable socket or USB-in. About both series of devices Raspberry PiWhich cost only $ 35, albeit with less impressive features in the latest version.
