Acer did something a little unusual last month when it announced an all-in-one Chromebase desktop with a touchscreen. It’s the first of its kind, and the company hopes it can bring something unique to the market. I’ve been testing it for the past week and, although it’s clearly not an input replacement for the mouse and keyboard, it actually has its uses.
The entire 21.5-inch 1080p panel has a layer of touch sensors over the top of it. It’s ten-point multitouch, and can be used to do all manner of things. It’s mostly intuitive too. There’s little unusual or unfamiliar if you’ve been using touchscreen smartphones for any length of time.

Acer recently unveiled a new range of all-in-one desktop computers running Chrome OS. The Acer Chromebase Touch is one of the company’s most recent models, and it has a 21.5-inch, full HD touchscreen. It’s powered by a Tegra K1 quad-core processor, 4 GB RAM, 16 GB of storage and a couple of 3W front-firing speakers.
First announced in April, Acer is today officially launching its Chromebase all-in-one (DC221HQ) for customers in the US. Two models are available, one with a touch display for $429 and another without the touch display for $329.
Specs for both models include a 21.5-inch 1080p HD display, NVIDIA Tegra K1 quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD, a built-in webcam, a stand that tilts 15 to 75 degrees and offers VESA mount compatibility, and, of course, Chrome OS. You’ll also find the usual USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, Bluetooth, and WiFi offerings.
The non-touch screen version of the new Acer Chromebase is available through retailers this month for $329, while the multi-touch model will ship next months or $429.

Chrome OS-powered desktops have not caught on in the past, to say the least, but it looks like that won’t stop LG from trying. The company has just sent out a press release announcing a new Chromebase, that it will officially unveil at CES 2014. The Chromebase is an all-in-one computer, much like the iMac, but powered by Chrome OS. The Chromebase will feature a 21.5 inch 1080p display, as well as 2GB of RAM, 16GB of solid state storage, and an unspecified Intel Celeron processor.
