Google's just made the Chrome platform more diverse by introducing a Chromebox bundle for video conferencing.

Called Chromebox for meetings, Gooogle's bundle is a conferencing system comprised an Asus Chromebox with an Intel Core i7 chip. It also has an HD camera, microphone and speaker unit and a keyboard remote control. The only thing it's missing is a display.

A Chromebox is a desktop version of the Chromebook, a personal computer running Google's Chrome OS operating system. The first Chromebook and Chromeboxes were announced at the Google I/O conference in 2011 and began shipping soon after.

Google's Chromebox set-up is an ideal solution for businesses with conference rooms, or any room really, because it enables co-workers and executive to collaborate from "far-flung locations", as Google described. It also offers integration with Google Apps, naturally, allowing up to 15 participants to conference from connected laptops or mobile devices.
