Cheaper than the Chromebase

HP has the bundle listed on their website for $399.97 (a saving of precisely zero on what it would cost you if you bough each component individually but is currently running an on-site discount of $60 which reduces the overall package price to $339.97.

At $340 the bundle undercuts the LG Chromebase (RRP $349) by ten bucks. For this you are getting comparable PC specifications but gain the benefits of a more versatile monitor (VGA and DVI inputs in addition to HDMI) and a computer that can be replaced or taken elsewhere.

HP’s keyboard and mouse set is wireless and more visually appealing than the wired peripherals bundled with the ‘base, though you will need to provide your own speakers and webcam.
