It appears that Helwett Packard also wants a piece of the Chromebox market and although there are still no info regarding precise specifications, it appears that HP Chromebox will come in a couple of color choices and at least one SKU will be powered by Intel Haswell Core i7 CPU.
Although the Core i7 Haswell CPU choice sounds like an overkill, it appears that HP wants to bring a bit more power to the Chromebox system. Of course, there will most likely be a couple of SKUs which will take care of the entry- and mid-range level.
Judging from the pictures, HP's Chromebox will target both consumers as well as the business segment of the market and should arrive sometime this spring.
Other than Core i7 and DisplayPort and HDMI outputs for dual display support, there is not much other info regarding actual specifications.
Unfortunately, HP is still pretty silent about the price as well.
