https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/31/google-launches-a-new-1999-hardware-kit-for-hangouts-meet/ >Hangouts Meet, Google’s service for running video and audio meetings, is getting a few new hardware companions. The company today announced the Hangouts Meet hardware kit that includes a touchscreen controller, speaker microphone, 4K camera and an ASUS Chromebox to control it all. >The Chromebox (an Asus CN62) is the nerve center of this kit. While Chromeboxes (which you can think of as the Mac Mini to Google’s Chromebook laptops) never quite took off the way Chromebooks did, yet they’ve quietly been around for years, with the likes of Dell, HP, Acer and Asus making them. They power everything from in-store signage to many a computer behind a receptionist’s desk.
