OPEN BOX - Asus Chromebox 5 CHROMEBOX5-S5055UN Chromebox - Intel Core I5 12th Gen i5-1240P

speed, speed and speed!!

Been using ASUS Chromeboxes since gen1. Very responsive and low stress to use. I added a 16g ram chip and i never see it use more than 13gb

I was not able to access all of my accounts on my computer so bought this to update it; it has worked very well and I now can recover all the information I need.

Despite Asus advertising this Mini PC especially for his Wireless Charging feature... they also sell a version without, which is what most people will end up buying for 2 reasons: - Misleading pictures showing a mobile on top of the MiniPC - Slightly cheaper than the Wireless Charing model Other than that. No brainer, best mini PC with Chrome OS, hands down. Perfect as HTPC. If you need to play games, look at the i5 and i7 versions.

These work well overall EXCEPT -- and this is glaring -- when you join the chrome box to a network using an Ethernet cable instead of WiFi any devices connected to WiFi on the same network will drop their connections within five minutes. At first I thought it was my router, but I eventually narrowed it down to the chrome box. I ordered another chrome box and it caused the same problem. When I switch the chrome box to WiFi there are no such drops. Even if you don't use Ethernet, if you pay for an Ethernet port you should get an Ethernet port.
