    The first Chromebooks shipped in 2011, and have since been joined by Chromeboxes and Chromebits headless clients that connect to a keyboard, mouse and display and a small number of all-in-ones.

    2017 November 23, Nik Rawlinson, “Should I roll out Chrome OS across my business?”, in IT PRO

    Chrome OS tablets may be the new hotness, but the vast majority of devices that have shipped with Google’s Chrome operating system over the years have been laptops… also known as Chromebooks. But a few years ago we also saw the introduction of a few other categories including Chromeboxes (mini desktop computers), Chromebits (PC-on-a-stick devices), and Chromebases (all-in-one, iMac-like desktops).
