Product Landing: ViewSonic NMP660 Chromebox
Source: ViewSonic announces NMP660 Chromebox
You are probably wondering why ViewSonic is bothering to sell a Chromebox. Well, it actually makes sense, as the company is hoping you will also buy one of its interactive displays to accompany it. Andy Chien, product marketing manager at ViewSonic Americas explains below.
"Utilizing an interactive large format display or monitor alongside a ViewSonic Chromebox delivers a compact yet powerful solution with the speed, simplicity and security of Chrome OS. Because Chrome OS is becoming more of an industry standard with enterprise and education peripherals, the ViewSonic NMP 660 Chromebox is an affordable device to manage the platform. We see a limitless amount of solutions for the ViewSonic NMP660 Chromebox, from using it in the classroom and boardroom to leveraging it as a tool for digital signage installations."
In other words, the ViewSonic NMP660 Chromebox won't likely be sold at Best Buy or Walmart. Instead, the company will sell the desktop directly to education and corporate customers as a way to compliment its interactive display products.
If you are interested in buying this Chrome OS-based computer, it will be available next month for $349."
