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.

Crimson Desert climbs up to ‘very positive’ score on Steam across over 100k reviews

Crimson Desert was a hotly-anticipated brand new IP prior to its official launch earlier this month, with the ambitious open-world title garnering a ton of attention thanks to its pretty visuals, freeform gameplay and player agency. Upon its launch however, the game suffered from a number of issues, including rather awkward controls. Fortunately, the team at Pearl Abyss have been quick to respond to criticisms – with Crimson Desert having now climbed its way to a ‘Very Positive’ score on Steam.

    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?

    every Chromebox 2-G084U comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard, so the amazon link will include one.
