LG
has launched the world’s first desktop PC running Chrome OS in the form
of an all-in-one PC named Chromebase AiO. It will be selling in India
for Rs 32,000.
Chromebase
AiO (Model 22CV241) comes with a 21.5-inch full HD IPS display and is
powered by a fourth generation Intel processor. The exact model number
of the processor is not known. It is paired with 2GB RAM and houses a
16GB iSSD storage.
Other
features include 1.3MP HD front camera, HDMI-in, three USB 2.0 ports,
one USB 3.0 port and LAN port. Keyboard and mouse will be provided in
the bundle.
This
is the first time Chrome OS will be seen on the desktop platform.
Chrome OS comes bundled with most of Google’s applications and all your
work happens within a browser environment. While there are web apps
which will work offline as well, the real use of a Chrome OS based
system is when you are online.
Earlier
in our Acer Chromebook C720 review, we noted that, “If you are heavily
into gaming or need to run specific software for your work, then you
can forget about this machine – the lack of serious games is a big
disadvantage. But there are a lot of use cases, where the C720
Chromebook makes so much sense. The only complaints we have are the
display and the keyboard; the former needs to be replaced and
recalibrated, while the keyboard is in need for some serious tactile and
build improvement. Aside from these issues, it’s fast, portable, lets
you edit documents, plays a wide variety of music and video formats and
the loud speaker is certainly better than some of the low-end Windows
competition. Yes, the lack of full-blown apps for all purposes does take
some sheen out of it and the Chromebook loses points for the same.”
