ASUS Chromebox 2-G084U Review

Rating: 8.5.

Here at KitGuru we have reviewed a few Chromebooks in our time, but never a Chromebox. It is with interest, then, that we look at ASUS' new Chromebox 2-G084U. Featuring a Broadwell Celeron CPU and 4GB RAM crammed into a tiny form-factor, is this a compelling option for someone after the ChromeOS experience?

Competitively priced at £199.99, the ASUS Chromebox 2-G084U also ships with a wireless keyboard and mouse bundle. That means all you need is a monitor to hook the Chromebox up to – ASUS supply everything else, including a VESA mount. That being said, how good is the thing? We take a look at its design, build quality and performance before giving our verdict.

  1. Your review says “Comes with wireless keyboard and mouse.” The Amazon pre-order page you direct us to doesn’t seem to mention this. Can you say which is correct?

    Thanks for reviewing this item, I’m looking into buying one or making one for my elderly mother and this review definitely helped.
