Google takes on the conference room with Chromebox for meetings
Been trying to figure out just what you'd do with a Chromebox? Google has an idea: build a new video conferencing system. At least that's what Google VP of Product Management Caesar Sengupta announced in Mountain View this morning. It's called Chromebox for meetings and, well, it's a Chromebox bundle designed to outfit meeting rooms with a robust, easy-to-use meeting solution powered by the Google Cloud. On the surface, the $999 bundle doesn't seem that different from the devices ASUS has already announced -- it includes a Core i7 box, an HD camera, a microphone/conference speaker and a keyboard-equipped remote. Plug the setup into your existing conference room monitors, log into the Google management platform and you're ready to go. How about in use? Well, that looks like a mash-up between Google Hangouts and Chromecast.
