This has been available for over a year. The old version had the exact same specs as far as I can tell. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-XE300M22-A01US-Series-3-Chromebox/dp/B007Y8DJEA/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Samsung-XE300M22-A01US-Series-3-Chrome...</a><p>The hardware specs aren&#x27;t very impressive at all, except the DisplayPorts.<p>They should at least offer a black version.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I considered purchasing one of these a few months ago and attaching two monitors, but it&#x27;s difficult to set up a good dev environment using only web services.<p>IMO, this is for people to get their computer illiterate family members, maybe schools, and maybe businesses if employees can get by using only web apps. (I guess that&#x27;s a big market)<p>Google should really try to create a cheaper, more powerful, and better looking version of this. There really are a lot of people who would be interested in a cheap desktop computer that you can&#x27;t easily mess up.<p>Another useful feature would be the ability to lock down ChromeOS a little more. No unapproved apps or extensions without a master password.
