Chromebox Layout
The Chromebox is a type of Desktop computer that has a similar comparison to a Chromebook being a type of Laptop. Both of these devices are limited but secure everyday computers for surfing the net, doing e-mail and using office applications. Although they are primarily designed to be used on the internet there are now offline applications for watching movies, viewing pictures, playing music and editing documents that have been downloaded to the local drive. This makes the unit useful for most users. The operating system is called ChromeOS and is designed by Google. Lenovo, Acer and Samsung are presently manufacturing them and they are a big hit for schools as they are easy to use with low administration costs. Amazon have Chromebooks listed for sale and are regularly the biggest seller in the Laptop category.
