Just got my Asus Chromebit CS10 and Logitech K400 plus keyboard and mouse combination today and boy am I happy. I might say get the Logitech K400 plus keyboard with the mouse scan pad on it (the one Amazon is advertising with it) because there is only one usb port on the chromebit and this makes for...

Good idea but it's slow. I mean it's good for opening youtube then just watch the program. But not good if you open multiple tabs and switch between them (working on goolge docs etc). it's slow in opening big web pages. Also it gets very hot after a while.

Tends to crash a lot when attempting to stream video. Crashes constantly trying to stream mlb.tv, crashes occasionally trying to stream youtube.

The Chromebit is a cheap and easy way to add smarts to an old HDTV or turn an extra monitor into a Chrome OS-based all-in-one.

Compact Need to take your desktop wherever you go? Chromebit is your huckleberry-it's super small and portable, and will connect to any screen with an HDMI port; That's pretty neat, Surprisingly good performance I've come to expect good performance on limited hardware with Chrome OS, and the...

Limited RAM If I had to choose one thing to dislike about the Chromebit, this would be it; I'd love for it to have at least 4GB, Not as good of a value for some users If you don't already have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, the value drops since those are both required to use the Chromebit.

If you have an spare screen or Bluetooth peripherals lying around, then the new Chromebit by Asus could transform them into a fully fledged computer.

The Asus Chromebit is a new twist on the stick PC. Intel started the trend with the Compute Stick, and plenty of other manufacturers have joined in since, including Hannspree with its Micro PC – a device we really wanted to love, but couldn't quite recommend. The Asus Chromebit is different.

Chrome OS has been with us for about six years now, and has not really caught on outside of a few niches. With Android rapidly evolving, there's been a lot of murmuring around the Web that perhaps Chrome OS will be killed off and its features will be integrated into Android, but this rumour was...

Compact and well-built; Silent operation; Fast boot times

Weak at multitasking; Limited connectivity and offline usability; Near-constant Internet needed

When Asus and Google first announced the Chromebit in April, they billed it as a full computing device the size of a memory stick. This was a bit of an exaggeration, it turns out. It may have the shape of a memory stick, but the Chromebit is much larger than the typical USB flash drive.
