What makes the ChromiumPC different from other computers is the Xi3 Computer Architecture, which makes it possible to change the personality and/or functionality of an Xi3 Modular Computer, including the ChromiumPC.

Furthermore, the ChromiumPC will derive its power from a dual- or single-core 64-bit, x86-based processor, that’s housed in a chassis measuring 4.0- x 3.656- x 3.656-inches. This desktop PC will be available in multiple colors, including a chrome-plated chassis. Formal sales of the Xi3 Modular Computer will begin on July 4, 2011.
