ASUS Chromebox 6 CHROMEBOX6-S3006UN Intel Core 3 100U, 8GB, 128GB, ChromeOS Mini PC, Black

The ASUS Chromebox 6 Mini PC is a compact ChromeOS desktop suited to web applications, cloud-based services, and shared workspaces. Its Intel Core 3 processor has six cores and eight threads for everyday computing tasks, with a maximum boost frequency of 4.7 GHz and 10 MB of processor cache. Integrated Intel Graphics handles everyday visual tasks without the need for a separate graphics card. This configuration suits browser-based work and study, while the supplied product information also lists digital signage and display setups as intended uses.

Installed memory is 8 GB of DDR5-5600, providing working memory for applications and browser sessions. Local storage is a single 128 GB SSD for the operating system, applications, and files. That capacity is worth bearing in mind if substantial amounts of data need to be kept locally rather than in the cloud. The black chassis uses a small desktop format for spaces where a larger computer would be less convenient. A separate power supply is included with the system.

• 64 GB maximum memory capacity across two SO-DIMM slots provides scope for expansion.
• Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless networking and compatible peripherals.
• One 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet port for a wired network connection.
• Two HDMI outputs and one DisplayPort for connections to external displays.
• Five USB-A ports rated at 5 Gbit/s for wired peripherals and external storage.
• Integrated card reader for direct access to compatible memory cards.
• 90 W power supply rating specifies the capacity of the supplied adapter.
