Review: MORE ON FANTASTIC LITTLE COMPUTER! - Fantastic little gadget! I've had the Asus Chromebox M004U, the inexpensive one-$169.00, 2GB ram, 16GB SSD-for a little over a month and from using it, I'll state that it is better than advertised. When the box arrived from desertcart, it didn't look big enough for a "real" computer. Bear in mind the Chromebox is only 5" x 5" x 1.5" in size. I took out the Chromebox, plugged in the power supply and looked for a cable to hook up a monitor. Neither a DVI or a VGA plug will work. I did find an HDMI-to-HDMI cable which fits the Box, but not either of my monitors. I was thinking about buying a new monitor when I remembered that my 32" LG TV had a second HDMI port. It's mounted on a swing-arm close to my computer desk in my "man-cave" so I can catch football games and NASCAR away from the rest of the family. I pulled the arm & TV over closed to the desk, pressed the power switch and got a picture. The set-up went quickly and easily. I already use Google Chrome browser and the Chrome operating system is based on it so I was functional on that part. I entered my wifi password and, just like that, I was on the web. All my favorites were there just like on my PC. I surfed around to several sites and everything looked as normal. I should mention that everything was fast. I also already use Gmail, so the email part went fast. It's exactly the same as Gmail on my PC. I think you can set it up for Outlook, but since I use Gmail, I didn't bother to try that. It comes up fast. Someone told me 7 seconds. I have counted 1-thousand, 2-thousand... and quit because I never got over 7-thousand. You can't get to what you have on your PC hard drive. If you have saved it to Skydrive, you can easily find it with your Chromebox. I was getting worried. Everything was going quickly and smoothly, then I hit a snag. I went looking for a file, any file, and couldn't find one. Well, Toto, we're not in Windows land any more. We have to go see the Wonderful Wizard of Google. Let me give you a translation from Windows to Google for some I have picked up. 1. First, think of your Chromebox as a big Android phone. 2.There are a group of icons in the lower left side of the monitor just like Windows. Google calls this line of icons the SHELF. 3. The first icon is black with 9 little squares like a keypad. This is effectively your Start button. In Google-ese, it's your APPS. 4. You can move apps to and from the shelf. Right click on the icon in your apps and select "Pin to shelf." If the "Pin to..." sounds familiar, it's just like an Android phone. 5. Somewhere in your apps you'll see a blue, green & yellow triangle. This is Google drive. Think of it as your C: drive. You automatically get 15GB G-drive space free. When you buy a Chromebox or Chromebook laptop, you get another 100GB free for two years, as I recall. I was wondering what Big G was going to hit me for extending the 100GB. I checked and when I did, it was $2 per month. Pretty cheap. 6. I already had Microsoft Skydrive, (or is it Onedrive or is MS trying to confuse us). It also works just like Google drive. 7. If you are paranoid about storing things in the cloud, you are in trouble because everything is automatically stored in your cloud. 8. Speaking of saving, don't look for a save button. There is none. Remember, everything is automatically saved to the cloud. 9. You can hook up an external hard drive, but I haven't tried that. The Chrome computers DO NOT support CD or DVD drives yet. 10. Google Docs can read all my Word files and save as either .docx or Google files. No problem here. 11. desertcart Prime videos work just great through the Chromebox. So does Kindle for books (Kindle Cloud). Bottom line: Since I got this little jewel a month or so ago, I have been on my PC maybe a dozen times. Some of those were to start moving more pictures and notes on radio control airplanes(my hobby) to either Skydrive or Google Drive. The Chromebox makes my PC seem slow and antiquated. Sure it doesn't do Photoshop and others, but for surfing, watching videos and movies, reading Kindle books and doing the occasional doc or spreadsheet, it's been excellent for me. For what I do at home, I'll take a Chromebox over a PC any day. Added May 10, 2015: It just dawned on me that I haven't turned on my Windows PC in 2 weeks! It's still fast. It books up fast (7 seconds to the password prompt-I timed it). It shuts down fast-5 seconds. I've yet to see a prompt like, "Do not turn off or unplug your computer. Installing updates 1 to 21." Google print works fine, even from my phone-a Nokia Windows phone, no less. It goes through wifi & email. Double glad I spent the $160 for it.
Review: Great as an HTPC (XBMC) and as a Linux desktop. - I have two of the Chromebox M004U (Celeron) models. (three now, see updates below) I installed an alternative BIOS (Coreboot) on both of them so I could replace Chrome OS. One of them is being used as an HTPC running the XBMCbuntu distribution (version 13.0 upgraded to 13.2). Stock hardware (Celeron, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB SSD). It handles any video I throw at it perfectly, even the ~45Mbps video from my DSLR camera. I don't have any Bluray rips, but I have no doubt it would work perfectly with them. It drives my 1080P television without any problems, both video and audio over HDMI. My media library is on a USB 3.0 attached HDD and I can get 140MB/sec sequential (not random) reads from it. I'm setting up the other one as a desktop PC for my kids. I installed an additional 2 GB of RAM and upgraded the M.2 SSD to 128 GB. This too has the custom BIOS installed. Edbuntu worked without issue, but I ditched it because of Unity. It's now running Linux Mint. All of the educational software I have installed (Gcompris, Tuxmath, Tuxpaint, etc) works like a charm. My favourite software on here, an astronomy program called Celestia, works great! I've installed optional higher resolution textures for all of the planets. It runs at an average of 30-45FPS with some dips when zooming in and out on planets with 32K and 64K textures. All of this while driving a 1600x1200 ASUS IPS display at full resolution with Celestia maximised (filling up the whole screen). And I have the Chromebox mounted on the back of the monitor with the included VESA mount plate. Linux Mint runs like a charm overall. Running Firefox and LibreOffice also works really well. And booting from a cold state takes seconds. I am very, very satisfied with these little Chromeboxes. Edit (2014/12/02): I picked up a third one on black friday for $110 just to play with, was specifically interested in loading OpenBSD on it. 5.6-stable doesn't work because of the lack of USB 3.0 (xhci) support, but 5.6-current installed without issue. The wireless adapter wasn't detected, but the Realtek ethernet device works. I have it driving a 1920x1200 display over HDMI. What a fantastic little piece of hardware! Edit (2015/01/30): I've been using this model Chromebox for about six months now. I have not encountered any problems. Still as zippy as the day I got them, cool to the touch, and stable. I have three of them and I want to get more! Just to recap, I've installed various Linux and BSD based operating systems on these puppies: * FreeBSD (so I could play around with bhyve) * OpenBSD * Linux Mint * Debian * Ubuntu * Edbuntu * XBMC Live (Ubuntu based) I love these little machines! Edit (2016/04/05): I'm still using three of these computers. One running XBMC, another running Linux Mint for my kids, and the third one now has CentOS installed on it. The second m004u with Linux Mint has been used for a few months now to play Minecraft. It gets ~30-45 FPS without any add-ons installed at 1920x1200 resolution. My kids have been having a blast with it. The third m004u with CentOS had its storage upgraded to a 256GB m.2 drive and 16 GB of memory was installed. It is running Xen 4 (Xen4CentOS) and I have eight different virtual machines running on it: * repository server running Apache and SSH. * shell server (for remote access) * minecraft server (has had up to seven users on it at the same time) * minecraft pocket edition server (running ImagicalMine, has had up to five users on it at the same time) * Three separate web servers (LAMP) for some friends and family member's websites * UniFi Controller Most of these virtual machines are running CentOS 7. The UniFi Controller VM is running on Debian. When a lot of people are playing Minecraft I've seen some slow downs, but for the most part the little box is running like a charm and has been stable for a full year. These machines are awesome!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with 8.1?**
A: don't listen to these people. some chromeboxes do come with windows 8.1

**Q: Can the RAM be upgraded by the end user?**
A: yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb.  You can add another 2gb stick for about $20.  Here's a good upgrade: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LDLP8W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

**Q: what is  a 16gb 5400 rpm solid state drive?**
A: Its a Solid State Drive...so it is much better than a regular hard drive or a 16gb USB drive. It doesn't spin, no moving parts, less mechanical error, and files store on it (like the operating system) will read much faster than a regular hard drive. I have a 120 gb solid state drive and my computer boots in 3 seconds. With that being said.....I also have a 2 tb drive as well but I play game and do video editing which this computer is not designed for.

**Q: will it be ok to run the device 24 hrs a day 7 days a week, just like a desktop pc? will it be overheated?**
A: There's no problem with running the device 24/7.  I've done it for about a month and have had no problems.  Just set your monitor to sleep when you're not using the computer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this little system
*by T***L on November 18, 2014*

I love this little system. Boots up and shuts down in seconds. Lightning fast, haven't experienced any bog downs what so ever, Sure it has its' limits, but if you need something for web browsing, email and basic Office Online then I suggest this little box. It's smaller in width than a mouse pad, very light and takes up little space. I love the 4 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, speaker and card reader ports. I used this today to stream a game from NFL Game Rewind, I experienced no buffering at all. I own 3 Windows based systems (2 laptops, one is a core i-7 with 8 gigs of ram and 1 tower which is an Amd quad-core processor with 16 gigs of ram with a good video card) with the Windows systems I would get buffering or lag even after turning off all extensions in my browser and shutting down any unnecessary running applications. Is this going to kill Windows or Mac OS? No, but it's a fast little machine that does what it's made for. I also love the fact that I don't have to worry about the kids getting on it and infecting it with viruses, at least not yet. If you want to hook it up to the VGA port of your monitor like I did, I inserted a link below for the adapter I ordered. I use the DVI for my main desktop. Also, if you are looking for a KVM switch to share a wireless keyboard and mouse with your main system I inserted that link as well. I've tested this KVM switch with 3 different Logitech wireless keyboards and 4 different mice (one was a Microsoft and the other 3 were Logitech). I just plugged the KVM switch into the usb port and it instantly recognized it. I have also plugged in my Western Digital Passport 1GB external HD, my 2GB Seagate Expansion Drive, a 16GB and 32GB flash drive and a 32GB SD card into this and they all work great. For what it is, this is the best machine that I have bought in a long time. Chrome OS is very basic and there is no learning curve to it in my opinion. For the price I suggest that anyone who is looking for a no frills system, then look no further. This is the one to get hands down!
