| Google releases Chromebit gadget to turn TV into a computer |
Reports from the BBC and The Telegraph have confirmed that
Google will soon be releasing a HDMI dongle that will be able to transform any
TV or monitor into a computer.
The Chromebit is new technology that will enable people to
display in Google Chrome operating system.
The quad-core Rockchip 3288 processor Chromestick will also
act as a USB port that will connect to other devices.
As well as converting the screen, there will also be 16GB of
storage, 2GB of RAM and Bluetooth connectivity according to a report from the
Mirror.
Users will have to be connected to Wi-Fi as it runs on the
Chrome operating system, but for those who can’t afford the smart TV option,
this gadget will be a handy tool. It will also be a desktop upgrade option and
could be a useful piece of technology for schools and businesses.
Although there have been no UK price announcements as yet,
it will be sold in America for $100.
The reports follow the recent opening of London’s Google
Shop that was opened in Tottenham Court Road just weeks ago. The shop sells
Google products and offers tutorials for clients.
The new high-tech release from Google is touted as "the
perfect upgrade for an existing desktop and will be really useful for schools
and businesses" according to Google.
