Asus has recently announced Chromebox 4, a mini PC that runs Chrome OS and is powered by 10th Gen Intel processors.
Visually, the Chromebox 4 looks fairly similar to its predecessor Chromebox 3. But Asus has made some great changes in he new line up the Chromebox 4 offers 10th Gen Intel processors. Asus says these will deliver faster, smoother and more energy-efficient performance.
The new Chromebox comes with an Intel Celeron 5205U or one of three Intel Core processors: an i3-10110U, an i5-10210U, or an i7-10510U. (Those are 15W TDP).
Talking about its specs, you can configure the Chromebox 4 with 4GB or 8GB of memory (DDR4-SO-DIMM) and up to 256GB of storage (via an M.2 SATA SSD). There are ports galore — including HDMI 2.0, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (supporting power delivery and DisplayPort), and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A — which can support up to three 4K displays at once. The system supports dual-band 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 and includes a fan.
Like other Chrome OS devices, the Chromebox 4 supports Google Play. As it rune on Chrome OS, you’ll also get automatic software and security updates, so you don’t have to set aside time to download and restart.
The Chromebox 4 will be available in North America in December starting at $289.
