font-size: 14pt;\">Chromeboxes have many similar features, but they&#8217;re not all equal. Some allow you to upgrade the components yourself, have more storage, and others are faster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Most Chromebox models are fitted with dual-core Intel Celeron (2957U or 2995U) processors which run at 1.4GHz. These processing units are fast enough for many tasks and paired with graphics integration. You&#8217;ll get a right balance between cost, performance and energy efficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graphics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><b>Graphics<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Every Chromebox offers the same graphics feature: integrated Intel High Definition Graphics 4000. That conjures an image of stutter, lag, and poor performance. Don&#8217;t worry. Integrated Graphics have been around long enough, and the Intel Graphics 4000 in most Chromeboxes supports some fairly great games, HD multimedia content, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talk_About_Memory\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><b>Talk About Memory<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Most Chromeboxes manufactured in 2012 came with 4GB RAM installed. But since 2014, that has reduced to a modest 2GB. One of the biggest reasons for this reduction is the price: the profit margins are tight, and 4GB vs. 2GB in Chrome OS does not yield a considerable increase in performance. We are talking about better responsiveness when 40 tabs are opened as opposed to 25, and a page loading milliseconds faster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">While 2GB RAM may not be enough for an optimal experience on Windows, it is more than enough to handle basic needs in Chrome OS. 2GB isn&#8217;t a problem for Chrome OS, unlike other massive operating systems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Not that it&#8217;s pointless having 4GB RAM. But the price at which you may purchase such a model is more than the cost of buying a 2GB version and adding extra RAM yourself. Performing a memory upgrade is not difficult on certain Chromeboxes. Just remove the feet, and unscrew the base. Then pop it off, and change\/add more memory. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upgrading_Other_Components\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><b>Upgrading Other Components<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Asides memory upgrades, most Chromeboxes don&#8217;t allow swapping out of other parts, and the few that do are limited in features. So you cannot add a FireWire card or better graphics card, and you cannot swap the processor for a better, compatible, socket sibling. ASUS Chromeboxes allow you to swap out the built-in flash storage, but for a compatible SSD. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">And while 16GB may look too small for desktops, you will get 100GB of free Google Drive storage online. Also, Chrome OS can read files that are mounted via MTP, and as well supports external SD cards, thumb drives, and USB hard drives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ports_Connectivity\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><b>Ports &amp; Connectivity<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chrome-Box-Back-Side.jpg\" alt=\"Chrome Box Ports\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chrome-Box-Back-Side.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chrome-Box-Back-Side-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Chrome-Box-Back-Side-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Chromebox offers a large number of ports to connect your monitors, devices, and more.

You&#8217;ll get a power cable and a manual along with the central \u201cPC\u2019 unit. They are sold that way to keep the costs down since most people have a favorite\/compatible mouse and keyboard in their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">But if you don&#8217;t have one, you will need to get one from eBay, Staples, Amazon, etc. Most USB and Bluetooth peripherals should work, but others which rely on base stations or proprietary infrared dongle may not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">On the other hand, some Chromebox brands offer \u2018bundles\u2019 which include a branded Chrome mouse and keyboard to the buying price. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Monitor_may_be_needed_as_well\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><b>A Monitor may be needed as well<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Another item you&#8217;ll need to have separately is a screen or monitor (though some retailers offer discounts on the monitor price if bought at the same time). Every new generation Chromebox comes with both a full-size Displayport and a full-size HDMI. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">If the monitor you intend using requires a DVI or VGA connection, it can still be used with a Chrome PC, but you&#8217;ll need to purchase a relevant HDMI-to-VGA or DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter first. You can get these at low prices on eBay, Amazon and computer stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span><b style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Pros<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hassle-Free_Experience\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Hassle-Free Experience<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Does not occupy Space, When you use Chrome OS, It serves what you want, that&#8217;s all.
