Samsung Refreshes Chromebox with Intel Celeron Processor

[afoaa]

Lack of HDMI on a box like that is a huge mistake. I'm a great fan of chrome OS (using a chromebook right now) but that box is a failure.

@afoaa doesn't have hdmi though which is what most computer monitors use now so its not that bad.

this would be great for old people that are getting into the internet stuff but wont learn or understand the whole OS UI stuff including installing weirdness, single and double click confusion, saving stuff in a filetree ETC. so you "just" have to explain the internet to them. there are addresses you can go to, X is mail, Y is photos Z is chess. done. i like it!

Specs and price? Man Imagine putting Lubuntu or Xubuntu on it using a usb stick for storage if It doesn't have decent internal (or at all?). Seriously if this is like 100-150, free desktop os, and + a 10gb USB for the OS and an external hdd for movies and pictures.

@irishgandalf757 its expected to be around $400

not worth it, save the hassle and build yourself a nice htpc.

@Charles2337 no bro, think about it, you dont have to pay alot of money anymore to make an internet cafe or even some built in computers in some desks in school, stop being so close minded and think
