Earlier this week, Google announced the new Asus Chromebox -- a Mac Mini-looking box running Google Chrome OS on Intel's new Haswell generation of chips. The new Chromebox came in three flavors, including an unusually beefed up Intel Core i7 variant with 4K video capability. Now we know Google's designs for the souped-up box: Google's entry into enterprise video conferencing.

Google announced on Thursday the "Chromebox for meetings," a suite of hardware and services based around the Asus Chromebox running the fourth generation Intel Core i7 "Haswell" processor. It's Google's entry into corporate computing -- and another assault on traditionally Windows OS territory.

Other variants of the Asus Chromebox were recently announced for the general consumer, also at an incredibly low price. The base-level Asus Chromebox comes with a Haswell Celeron processor running at 1.4GHz, 2GB or 4GB of RAM, 16 GB of solid state storage (with 100GB for two years from Drive) and all of the ports mentioned before. It costs only $179 and will be released in March 2013. The Core i3 variant has similar specs, but can run 4K video as well. Its release date and price is yet to be announced.
