Awards

Vendor of the year 2019 in the categories: Motherboards, graphic cards, monitors, chassis and Mini-PCs

“Don’t mistake this for a full-blown PC, but as a cheap system to run web apps and access online services it works a treat.”

"But for those who want a simple, almost silent, low-maintenance alternative to a conventional PC, the Asus Chromebox 2 is pushing all the right buttons."

All in all, the ASUS Chromebox 2-G084U is very successful. Of course, a ChromeOS device is not for everybody, but it would be great for school or university students in particular – people who just want to be able to type documents, email and watch videos online. With Christmas on the horizon, the Chromebook 2 would make a great gift for someone like that.

“I have very few flaws with and it wins the Top Purchase award!”

Quieter than a library, and more efficient than a LED bulb

ASUS Chromebox 2 operates in remarkable silence thanks to optimized fan settings that keep noise levels down to just 17dB at idle, quieter than the sound made by falling leaves. And it doesn't get much noisier at full load either – at just 31dB, that's as quiet as a library. The fan helps lower operating temperatures, so you're guaranteed silent, stable performance.

ASUS Chromebox 2 also keeps the environment in mind, and delivers incredible energy efficiency thanks to an ultra-low power design that draws as little as 6W at idle– as much as an LED light bulb.
