  • Abstract:  There's plenty of competition for what gets plugged into your TV's HDMI port. Digital TV boxes, games consoles and Chromecasts are all common additions to the living room setup, but have you ever thought about turning your display into an all-in-one Chrom...

  • The main question about the Chromebit is what would you use it for? If you want to assemble a cheap home PC for basic work and internet duties, plus you have a screen and peripherals knocking around, then it's an excellent, cost-effective device. Similarl...

  • Small, Cheap
  • Sometimes sluggish performance
  • Cheap, cheerful and compact, but this stick PC is really best suited for a certain range of limited use scenarios rather than as a wholesale replacement for a fully-fledged and more traditional PC...

  • On the face of it, the Asus Chromebit is a good-value device. A relatively capable PC for £80 is a bargain however you look at it, although it's not as cheap as I would have expected for such a low-powered device unencumbered with an expensive Windows lic...

  • 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...

  • Pocket-sized design, Good connectivity, Quick performance, Streams 1080p video smoothly
  • Runs hot
  • At the end of the day, there are two important factors that set the Asus Chromebit apart from other competing mini computers. The first is the Mali GPU, which helps pick up the slack in video playback, light gaming, and quick tab switches — an area wher...

  • Small form factor, chrome OS, performance
  • Only Google apps can be installed
  • This is an amazing tiny device available at a good price to turn your TV into PC. The chrome OS runs surprisingly smooth without any performance lag, but you can add only apps or games available on Google Play Store. However there are plenty of apps avai...
