In the future, it will come with 15.6″ and 21.5″ inFLEX displays and could be worth using in an advertising agency. The inFLEX displays use a USB-C port, which offers data, power, and video on the same wire.

The ChromeBox from Lenovo can be easily managed remotely and can be used with ChroemOS Kioask and other upgrades to manage a fleet of other devices.
