Samsung’s Chromebox
A little sweetheart computer.
�Sitting down behind the desk, with
a monitor in front, checking e-mails and
reading news and messaging people on
Facebook is becoming increasingly rare; Samsung’s Chromebox is
a fast and compact home/office computer that enables us to set
it up in any way wanted and surf up the webs, edit or perform
our tasks quickly with multiple USB ports and versatile display
options. It is a desktop-based PC that sits conservatively next to
a monitor or TV, looking an extremely beautiful sight, as so evidently
shown below.
The Chromebox was originally designed for mobile use, as such;
it is light and non-demanding of battery power, and therefore
producing less heat. It is small enough and such a pretty sight
that it can be placed either on a desk, or in a bookshelf, or even
next to on the couch. Since it has built-in Wi-Fi, it can be placed
on the farthest nook of our offices and homes without fussing
over the extra cables. It has an Ethernet port for wired internet
connections as well. Our Samsung’s Chromebox has flattered
the Apple even; it looks very much like a Mac mini, with exact
same 7.6 inch-square footprint, thinner and lighter. It is
a machine that is silent and is fond of peace, as such, it
won’t be found whirring or buzzing at the corner
of our living room, distracting the hell out of one.
Chromebox can support 30” monitors and is a High
Definition compatible. Plus, it has a variety of peripherals, containing
astonishing 6 USB ports and comes along with a custom
keyboard and mouse. It, further, handles 1080p video playback
without any hiccups or burps, and with a 4GB of RAM, it is now
possible to open a bunch of tabs before noticing any performance
hit.
The processor in the Chromebox is more strong, with an Intel
Core Processor B840 running at 1.9GHz, compared to the Samsung
XE550C22 Chromebook’s Intel Celeron Processor 867 with
a clock speed of 1.3GHz.
