Update 3/29: After posting this article, B&H has since moved the listing for the Lenovo Chromebox Micro. They marked the old listing as “discontinued” and have created a new listing here with a new price tag of $239.

I’ve sat on this post for quite some time, but with the news coming out over the weekend that Acer is now in the mini-Chromebox game with a device of their own, my mind couldn’t help but wander to something I’ve thought about for a very long time: why do we not have small-core Intel-powered […]

But with its compact size, decent specs, and versatile ports, this tiny computer has the potential […]

One of the segments of ChromeOS devices that continues to plug along without drawing too much attention to itself is the humble-but-powerful Chromebox. These devices don’t get a ton of press mainly because they are the most distilled, simple expressions of ChromeOS you can buy. As their name suggests, Chromeboxes are simple devices that house […]

Lenovo recently unveiled their latest innovation in the world of ChromeOS: the Lenovo Chromebox Micro.

Back in July of 2022, we had the pleasure of having Naveen Viswanatha on our podcast to chat about all of Google’s Enterprise solutions, including virtualization, end-to-end solutions, kiosks, and digital signage. As part of that conversation, Naveen talked about how Chrome OS is perfectly suited for kiosks and digital signage because of the secure […]

Not to be outdone in the Chromebox game where Acer has had quite a bit of success, it looks like the prolific Chromebook maker may be aping another company in making a Chromebox with the added – and useful – benefit of wireless charging baked into the lid portion. Though Chromeboxes tend to be the […]
Continue ReadingUnboxing the ASUS Chromebox 5 with wireless charging built in [VIDEO]
Around Chrome Unboxed, we don’t do a whole lot of content around Chromeboxes. It’s understandable, right? Chromeboxes are the simplest manifestation of ChromeOS hardware, putting the necessary bits to run the OS in a box and letting the user ultimately choose what peripherals go with it. With no screen, no keyboard, no trackpad, no hinges […]

At this year’s CES show in Las Vegas, our first in-person attendance since 2020, we saw a ton of awesome new tech. Some ChromeOS related, some not.

Continue ReadingYet another new Chromebox is on the way, this time it might be from Dell
Dell has been wildly quiet on the Chromebook front of late. Since the introduction of a couple high-end, expensive enterprise-focused Chromebooks back in 2020, Dell has been absent in the general Chromebook release cycles that companies like HP, Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo have been quite active in. We’ve had eyes on a few devices that […]

There’s a reason we don’t make many videos about Chromeboxes: they are all basically the same. That’s both a good and bad thing, I suppose, but at the end of the day, any Chromebox we talk about is a collection of internal specs and external ports. Some are better looking than others, but they all […]
