Review on πŸ’» ASUS Chromebit CS10: Portable Stick-Desktop PC with RockChip 3288-C, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB Storage, and Google Chrome OS by Matt Tbone

UPDATE 2020: Sneaky Trash! DO NOT BUY!

I like this little key! At first I didn't think I'd like it, but it comes with 115GB of Google Drive storage for a year, plus ultra-fast computing wherever you plug it into an HDMI port and use a Bluetooth keyboard. The built-in Bluetooth is also very good as it syncs very quickly with my headphones, keyboard and mouse. Nothing on TV? Instead I play it. UPDATE - MAY 2020: On reboot I just received a pop-up saying "Your 5 year window ends in November 2020, after this date you will no longer receive future security or system updates". Check it out and of course NOW (when I bought it in 2015 there was no disclaimer) stating there will be no more system updates after November 2020. You must purchase a new product to receive such updates. and the date is NOT controlled by the "purchase" but by the PRODUCTION DATE CODE ON THE DEVICE! So buyers beware! You cannot be sure WHAT THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE CODE is on these Chrombit devices. And if you're buying a CS10, that's a 2015 PRODUCTION CODE. So it's basically useless for future system updates after that point! SURE IF YOUR 5 YEARS ARE EXCLUDED. Knowing this, you should think TWICE before buying CHROMEBIT or CHROMEBOX for $200, $300 or more! Because all you really do is rent the device for up to 5 years, depending on the date code! What a robbery!

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says
