Meet Samsung's new Chromebox, same as the old Chromebox (Updated)

Samsung has long been one of the staunchest supporters of Google's cloud-focused Chrome OS. Last year, they released two Chromebooks, one of which uses an ARM processor and sells for just $249, and a Chromebox, the first official desktop computer based on Chrome OS. Now, Chrome Story has uncovered the spec sheet for a revised version of the Chromebox. It uses the same 1.9GHz Sandy Bridge-based Intel Celeron, integrated graphics, 802.11n wireless, 16GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM as last year's model, but comes in a redesigned all-white body that does away with the boxy silver-and-black version introduced back in May.

The new Series 3 Chromebox also sports the same array of ports as last year's model: on the rear there are four USB 2.0, a gigabit Ethernet port, a DVI port, two DisplayPorts, and a Kensington lock slot. A small cover on the front of the computer hides two additional USB 2.0 ports and a microphone jack—these are present on the older Chromebox but left exposed. Recent Chrome OS betas have begun to improve the operating system's multi-monitor support, which should finally make all of those display outputs a bit more useful.
