Acer Chromebox CXI
© 2014 Acer America Corporation
Here's a desktop chromebook that breaks out of the laptop configuration. Building on the Acer C7 Series Chromebook, this chromebook is for budget-conscious users who already have a monitor, don’t require a mobile platform and like the Google Chrome ecosystem. Features include a small footprint with a compact chassis that can stand upright or mount on the back of a monitor; a powerwash option that enables all local data to be cleared quickly and easily; dual display support via HDMI and DisplayPort; four USB 3.0 ports including two with power-off charging for smartphones and tablets; and built-in Google virus protection and Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2). Available in September for $179.99 U.S./$199 CAD for 2GB memory and $219.99 U.S./$239 CAD for 4GB memory.
