ASUS Chromebox 4 with Intel® Celeron, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC storage, Power/DisplayPort Over Type C, Dual HDMI, Gigabit LAN, WiFi 6, USB 3.2, MicroSD Card Reader, VESA Mount, Chrome OS

Zero problems, dead silent in operation, small footprint, Chrome OS can have limited app selection but meets my needs.

This review is specifically for the device I bought. Here is my item description. "ASUS Chromebox 5 with Intel® Core i5-1240P Processor, 8GB Memory"I have this paired with a Logitech wireless keyboard and plugged into my Sony TV through the HDMI, and could not be happier. The one minor adjustment I made was to dumb down the stock resolution of the device, a 30 second effort. This replaced a chrome stick that I had used previously. This is my second attempt with a Chromebox unit and now I am completely satisfied. I had a previous bad experience using another brand where the keyboard was not compatible with the device. I now thoroughly trust and recommend the ASUS Brand in particular.

I need two more

My personal PC is a non updated Windows 7 that I have had for over a decade and I will ride it into the ground. Unfortunately, I have been stuck with a Windows 10 PC for work that I absolutely hate. Takes forever to be usable after boot, wonky updates and just the overall unpleasantness of the W10 environment was driving me bonkers. I had thought about the Chrome Box as a solution for a while and the only regret I have is that I didn't get it sooner. It's ready to go instantly upon start up, handles multiple tabs and streaming with ease with no janky Windows nonsense. As an added bonus, it has a Linux interface that will allow you to install non native programs like Signal. Initially, I couldn't be more pleased.

Got this for my 85 year old dad who just lives on the internet. He has a larger monitor and separate keyboard and mouse from his PC. I was getting tired of constantly cleaning out viruses or reinstalling Windows from his constant virus and adware contamination. No matter what anti-virus software or user setting his PCs constantly were getting compromised. He didn't want a Chromebook, cause of the setup, but a Chromebox seemed like it'd be worth a try. Apple products seemed like overkill for his needs.6 months in and no problem with any malware or performance. We're all happy.

I was busy with other projects when the ASUS Chromebox 5 arrived and so didn't connect it right away. When I first connected it, as usual for computers, it went into update mode and restart. That process seemed to go well until the computer froze. I couldn't get the mouse or keyboard to get the computer to respond. I pushed power button to hard stop the computer. I rebooted the computer and after a page or two, again it froze. I walked away muttering to myself that this never happened with the ASUS Chromebox 3 I've had for a few years. After focusing on other projects for a week or ten days, I came back to the ASUS Chromebox 5 and the same freezing happened. I then checked with Amazon and found I was two days past the return date. So, now I have what we used to call a brick for a door stop. I'm so disappointed, but to some extent, I should have booted up the computer when I first received it. Live and learn (and don't forget that it was an ASUS computer that will make me very hesitant to buy another ASUS computer).

I purchased this to provide a browser option for a TCL Roku TV. Chrome OS is perfect for this and when it works, this Chromebox does an excellent job of handling video, sound, access to email and other browser-centric functions. However, I've had two fail shortly after receiving them. The first one worked fine with a wifi connection but the ethernet port was unreliable and wouldn't hold a stable connection. I returned it to Amazon, got another, which worked fine for two weeks until the screen went black. Rebooting and other attempts to get it working failed. I've returned this one and will be installing my third ASUS Chromebox. Let's hope third one works like a charm. I will say that Amazon's return policies make replacement easy. I did a chat with ASUC support -- took a bit of effort to find how to do a support chat on ASUS's web site -- but they suggested sending it in for service, which would have left me without a device for an unknown period of time.

Purchased this to replace windows desktop. This is so fast and easy to use, no need to get windows or apple. No need to get virus protection. Highly recommend!
