Abstract: ASUS's Chromebit is one of that handful of big-name computer sticks available today, and despite its middling price tag in this novel category, having access to the established Google Chrome ecosystem makes it a surprisingly appealing little device. Cons...

Great for digital signage or kiosks, Compact, Fairly priced
Seems underpowered, Runs hot, Not enough memory, No headphone jack
I want to love the Chromebit – I REALLY want to love the Chromebit, but I just don't, but I do like it. As far as the Chromebit goes, this would be fantastic for companies wanting to make a digital display, or use as a basic Kiosk setup – but as a PC/Chro...
On the face of it, the Asus Chromebit is a good-value device. £80 for a relatively capable PC is a bargain however you look at it, although isn't as cheap as I would have expected for such a low-powered device that isn't lumbered with an expensive Windows...

It's limited to the same online tools as other Chrome OS devices. Minimal onboard storage. A single USB port makes expansion difficult
It won't run Photoshop or play games, but add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and the Asus Chromebit turns any HDMI-compatible display or television into a Web-surfing station...

the Chromebit may not be sufficient to replace your desktop 100 percent due to being originally designed for commercial purposes. However, if you are looking for a plug and play device for light applications within limited space, the Chromebit can defin...
the Chromebit performed reliably well for its size constraints. While it lacks the zip you'd get from a beefier Chrome OS machine, it loads webpages and handles most streaming video without a hitch. Major sites optimized for streaming, like Netflix and...
Affordable way to add Chrome OS to any monitor, Speedy performance
Gets fairly warm even with basic usage
A cheap and easy way of turning an old monitor into an all-in-one PC, the Asus Chromebit makes up for a somewhat limited desktop experience with great performance and ease of use...
