Optimized for video conferencing, the Chromebase 24 incorporates four digital microphones, and can capture the perfect frame with the chassis that easily tilts from – 5° to 30°in addition to the adjustable HD webcam.
The device has several ports on the back, including HDMI, three USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack, and an SD card reader. It also comes with Remote Management for troubleshooting video/audio quality. The Acer Chromebase 24 is priced at $799 from partners in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and Australia. The cost includes the first year’s management and support fees.
At CES 2016, Google announced the all new Chromebox for meetings. This device was designed for attaching third party items to it (i.e. monitor, camera, keyboard, etc). The Chromebase is a smaller scale, all-in-one desktop designed for smaller groups of people. Setup is as easy as plugging it in and connecting to a network.
