Asus Chrome OS ARM Rocketchip Gaming Chromebit - B019C (CS-10, Black)

The Chromebit has become my primary computer, since 99% of the things I do, involve the web browser and the Internet. I have plugged it on the back of my 21 inch Samsung monitor on HDMI port, and paired it via bluetooth to my Logitech bluetooth keyboard, my Logitech Bluetooth mouse and my bluetooth speaker. Further, the Chromebit receives my home WiFi signal. The whole setup is so simple and my desk is clutter free and the Chromebit is invisible!! There is no lag or any performance issues. I have opened upto 20 Chrome tabs without any perceptible lag. I strongly recommend the Chromebit for people who are getting tired of their Windows machines. For a newbie going for his first computer, this should be his natural choice. The Chromebit is a stroke of genius, by Google.

Works like a breeze. However reading books and editing texts is a bit harder here owing to the lack of apps on the chrome store Also you would need a multi usb port adaptor as only one usb device can be connected at a time

Not as powerful. Otherwise a great product to convert your dumb TV into a smart one.

Fundamentally fantastic computing experience. Good for 95% of all you'll ever use a computer for. For the other 5%, you may need to plug in a USB Drive. I use this all day, and so far haven't felt the need for a "conventional" PC. Fact that you can vary screen size depending on what you plug into is fantastic: 50" TV for Netflix screenings in the living room, 19" desktop (wire free) on the work desk for trading, office work, email, communications, etc. Virtually no power consumption. Always on. No weight to lug around (unlike even the lightest laptop out there). Combines the best of mobility, productivity and simplicity.

I got an open box item. I want to give a one star for the seller but can't get the link for that.The item works as intended ( as of now, may be I will discover something later). There was a problem with mouse scroll wheel for wireless mouse. You have to install logitech smooth scrolling extension for solving that. Now I use a logitech k400 touchpad keyboard, the touchpad is not smooth with chromebit. But overall good and serves the purpose. You will have to install keep awake extension. Otherwise, chromebit goes to sleep and you have to unplug and reinsert it for it to work.

Bought this I regret it, I am a student and I thought it will be useful in my studies. I was happy initially but just after seven months device is just stuck with boot loop. Can not even claim warranty Asus customer support is so unhelpful.

Its a great device but not as a daily driver. Also you need a very reliable and fast internet connection to use it since it's Chrome OS. The ideal use case would be media consumption and Google docs/slides work. Web developers can use this too for basic work using the Chrome inspector tools. It does not lag at all. If you are deciding between this and the Intel stick, go for this one if you are only going to do web browsing. Else the Intel isn't bad, just slow.

Value for the money. Browser is very good and responsive on 1920X1080 resolution. Local media file playback is ok. Inbuilt bluetooth is weak not able to handle bluetooth speaker and headsets. Bluetooth keyboard also not working properly.
