The Asus Chromebox CN60 mini PC running on the Google Chrome OS has been launched in India for a reasonable starting price of just Rs 21000, though that the cost can more than double when it’s fitted with the most high-end components which are being offered as configuration options at purchase point. If you’re wondering what you can do with this tiny desktop, you could hook it up to an external display such as a monitor or large TV screen and treat it as a work or entertainment companion.
The Asus CN60 Chromebox embeds the latest generation of Intel Haswell processors and comes with virus protection built into it. Because it’s a Chrome OS mini machine we’re talking about, latest software updates are beamed to it without requiring your interference. The Chromebox CN60 mini PC is a neat option for you if you’re concerned about saving space in your home or workstation setup. It boots up really quick, within a matter of 7 seconds, in case you’re asking. Also, this VESA mount-compatible desktop happens to be perfectly capable of video playback in 4K resolution.
You’ll only get up to 16GB of internal storage on an SSD with it and Google Drive offers about 100GB of rent-free cloud room for your content for a maximum of 2 years. An SD card reader, four USB 3.0 ports for attaching external drives, HDMI and DisplayPort outlets are drilled into the Asus device’s chassis which measures a mere 12cm x 12cm.
