Now that the LG Chromebase has a $ 599 price tag in Australia, we can start to take educated guesses on what it will cost in other regions.

We discuss what price ranges would be most attractive for the all-in-one Chrome OS device on this week’s podcast, so tune in below or download the show to hear our thoughts. We also explain how a $ 10 add-on can run nearly any standard speakers into a music streaming device when paired with a Chromecast.
