Chrome OS Hardware

Chrome OS is Google's desktop operating system, and with the latest version it brings a more Windows like interface. You can have multiple Windows open and easily manage them and also pin items to the taskbar at the bottom. In terms of hardware, you have two options for official hardware. You can get a Chromebook, which is really a net-book running Chrome OS. Or, you can get a Chromebox, which is like a desktop, however because of its size, its very similar to a Mac Mini. Overall, we recommend the Chromebox for home use as an entertainment machine. You may want to buy one and use it as a set top box because of its small size. Connect it to the web and hook up some wireless peripherals and you will have an extremely easy way to browse the web on the internet on your TV without much security risks. It is also super fast to load, and there are many entertainment apps.
