HP announces compact Chrome-powered desktop

HP previously teased that it would be releasing a Chromebox this spring, but has today announced a few more details about the box, in addition to some images. HP’s Chromebox will come in four colors including white, black, silver, and turquoise. The device will be marketed towards homes and businesses, seeing that it will be more powerful than some of the other Chromeboxes we’ve seen so far this year.

HP announced the HP Chromebox Thursday, the company’s first foray into the Chrome-powered desktop arena. Few details were available, but one thing’s for certain: Those colorful little Chromeboxes sure are cute. Geared toward non-mobile use — like at home or at school — the HP Chromebox is one of the nicer looking Chromeboxes I’ve seen. It’ll be available in four colors, including white, black, silver and turquoise (which are some of the same colors from HP’s Chromebook 14 line). Dimensions weren’t provided, but HP said the box is small enough to place in a travel bag and can be mounted to the wall or the back of your monitor.
