  • 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...

  • Abstract:  Asus's Chromebit CS10 is small enough to go just about anywhere. Still, you may wonder why anyone would actually want Chrome OS on a stick—when you could buy a Chromebook for travel, a Chromebox for home use, or even the much-cheaper Chromecast for media...

  • Portable form factor, Easy setup, Upcycle existing displays
  • Single USB port, Can't run desktop apps, Limited storage
  • The Chromebit is a compact, versatile HDMI dongle that transforms your existing display or TV into a Chrome OS-powered all-in-one. Chrome OS's lighter footprint makes better use of the limited hardware resources on the Chromebit, making it a better user e...

  • It's limited to the same online tools as other Chrome OS devices. Minimal onboard storage. A single USB port makes expansion difficult

  • 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...

  • 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...
