I can image one of these with a quad-core ARM SoC doing everything the current Logitech gTV can do. . . and probably more. I think that would be a great fit for many who only use a computer lightly–email, a little web, etc. Hook it up to the tv like gTV with a wireless keyboard/mouse and grandma is set.
Now we just need some mice and keyboards that are compatible with Chrome OS…
I wonder how well this system would perform with just 1GB of RAM. I seem to see my chrome builds running a bit over 1GB of memory usage, on a regular basis.
An experimental test model is not an answer for me!
