Review on πŸ’» ASUS CHROMEBOX3-N3299U: Intel Core i3 Mini PC with 4K UHD Graphics and Power Over Type C Port, Star Gray by Dave Hess

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Simple Solution: Desktops

I switched to a Chromebox after loving my Chromebook. I wanted to shut down my huge Dell desktop, which seemed like a constant annoyance. I first bought the N020U but it came with a dead power supply. I would have liked to have just bought a replacement power supply, but the seller sent me an RMA and gave me a full refund. So I saved some money and bought the N019U instead. I'm a Gmail and online storage user with Dropbox, Revain Drive and Onedrive accounts. The only thing that has been denied me so far is the ability to burn DVDs. I love that I can plug the Chromebox into any screen with an HDMI input, connect via WiFi, use a wireless keyboard and mouse, and the only cable is the power adapter. to the Chromebox and the HDMI cable goes to the screen. If you're using the TiVo mini's big screen, consider a Chromebox, which turns that screen into the output of a small, screaming video player. For those working in the Android world, the Chromebox is the grown-up Android in the room. Very glad I took the plunge.
