it's become an increasingly important question in the hardware
world, particularly for Microsoft, but not all of the new
hardware is running ChromeOS. Today at CES, Hewlett Packard
unveiled a new take on the question, with two mini PCs designed
to compete with the rising tide of Chrome hardware. Going on
sale January 14th, the machines offer a Windows-based
alternative to the new wave of cheap Chromebooks and
Chromeboxes, supplementing local storage and processing power
with the ever-growing power of the cloud.
offering just just 2GB of RAM and a 32GB hard drive, powered by
an Intel Celeron chip. Since there isn't much room for local
storage, the Stream also comes with a two-year subscription to
Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service, which will let users
keep an extra 200 GB remotely. For $320, the Pavilion mini
boasts a more powerful processor, an extra 2GB of ram and a full
500GB of local storage. Both use the same simple design: a few
USB ports and a power button on the front, with display ports
and an audio jack on the back, allowing for an unusually
inconspicuous shell. The machines also get by on just 45 watts
of power each, a little less than your average lightbulb.
