Is it anything spectacular? Yes! Does it do anything more than Chrome on Windows? No. But here is why (when your desktop finally dies/or you are just sick of how slow it is) you should buy a Chromebox:
1) Fast enough to do everything you want to on the internet. If you are like most people, you will realize that 90+% of the time you are on a computer, you are using a web browser. Everything else on your computer therefore is added weight to slow down your internet experience. This may include Virus/Malware Scanning Software, Viruses and Malware, other background processes, etc. ChromeOS takes all this out and gives you the the web browser and a great way of connecting to it. Will it handle the latest high intensity graphics game around? No, it won't come close but if you are looking for something to do that, you probably aren't even looking at Chromeboxes and therefore are not even reading this post.
2) Still can do Microsoft Office Online. This was actually a surprise to me but it actually works fairly well. For those of you who are not familiar with Office Online, it is a web version of Office that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of regular office. If you are like most people, you really don't use the bells and whistles. I do quite a bit of work in Office with my employment (law) and find that everything that I need can be done on Office Online. If you really don't need a lot of features, check of Google Docs, it rocks as well.
3) 100GB of online storage. From your new Chromebox (or Chromebook) go to drive.google.com/redeem and type in some information an viola, 100GB of online storage.
4) It is simple to use. There is no learning curve with the Chromebox. It is the Chrome web browser and if you have used any browser in the last 5 years, you will be up to speed. There are a few features that you don't get on regular Chrome like Bluetooth and WIFI but even make that easy to operate.
5) It uses Google Print. So this could be a frustration for a lot of people. The Chromebox, even though it has USB ports, does not allow you to connect printers because it doesn't install drivers. So what can you do? First, get a printer that is Google Print capable. Okay, I am with you, I really don't need another printer laying around my house. Second, try the xPrint Server from Lantronix. Granted it is a little expensive (~$150.00) which makes one wonder why not just buy a new printer. Third, use an old computer that runs Chrome as a gateway. While not a great choice, it is better than some of the first options. Fourth, get geeky with a Raspberry Pi. For those that are not aware of what a Raspberry Pi is, it is a $35 computer capable of running Linux. Needless to say, Chrome can run on Linux and it can also install printer drivers. Here is a tutorial on turning a Raspberry Pi into your Google Cloud Print servant.
[...]
Again, this is a hurdle for a lot of people but I will say, after you get Google Cloud Print working, it is awesome. No more worrying about what computer your document is on and what computer is connected to which printer. It is simply, clicking this printer and this document.
6) It can be customized. If you find out that Chrome OS is not your thing that is okay. There are plenty of tutorials on how to install Ubuntu on the Chromebox either as a dual-boot or replacement. If you are interested in this, I would recommend getting an extra 2GB stick of ram (Laptop DDR3). It may also be smart to upgrade the size of the SSD as well. If that looks greek to you, then just stick with Chrome OS.
Hopefully you have found my review helpful of the Chromebox. Just to recap, this is a great desktop replacement if all you need is something to surf the internet with and do homework. You will be pleasantly surprised at how fast it loads up and how easy it is to use.
It's incredible how zippy it is. Started up in a fraction of a second. Once I logged, in everything was already here waiting for me (as expected).
I received 100GB of free Google Drive storage for two years (more than enough space).
The operating system has a very in-depth tour which you can launch at any time during use to familiarize yourself with different features and applications.
For Apple users:
It explains how to sync your iTunes library to Google Play Music for free. Also explains how to use iWork on the ChromeOS for viewing Keynote presentations and using other iWork software in the cloud.
For Windows users:
It explains the full, free replacements to Microsoft Office and links to the free applications (many of which come pre-installed such as Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Slides, Gmail, and Drive) - although if you truly can't live without MS Office, Microsoft has released their apps for Chrome.
For Creative Professionals:
It explains that Adobe has not supported Chrome yet; however, there is a feature rich photo editor as part of the operating system, and there are several advanced photo editing tools available for free in the Chrome store that will more than meet the needs of a casual Photoshop user.
For Music Enthusiasts:
I'm a die-hard fan of Google Play Music All Access, but if you prefer, Chrome also has an app for Spotify and Pandora.
For Conference and Video Calls:
While Skype is not yet supported on Chrome, Hangouts is a lower-resource, higher-quality experience which also allows for large groups to be video-conferenced in (including telephone numbers, not just other Google users), and features collaborative tools for group projects for work and/or school. Additional features include the ability to record the conference for later use, post-production, or sharing on YouTube or other video-sharing sites.
Video/TV/Movie Enthusiasts:
VLC is an application that is available for almost every operating system out there, and it's an excellent tool for watching video. Unfortunately, it's not currently available for Chrome - but Chrome does feature its own media player that supports many of the most common video and audio formats. I was also very pleased to report that Amazon Instant Video works flawlessly on ChromeOS - something that is not quite the case when attempting to watch Amazon videos on Ubuntu.
Folks that need specific software:
There will always be the folks with very specific needs when it comes to software - something that is custom built for a specific job and only runs on Windows or OS/X. Have no fear - you can still access those applications in ChromeOS. Chrome features Google's very own Remote Desktop tool (which works incredibly well - better than my experiences with Microsoft's remote desktop tool) that allows you to access another computer (as long as the Google Chrome browser is installed on the destination computer with your account saved and the Chrome Remote Desktop app installed on the destination computer). This allows you to remote in to the other computer and use the full range of software. If you can't install Chrome browser on the destination computer, but you or your organization have a Citrix server, you can also use Citrix to remote into the remote computer or a VirtualDesktop to use full OS/X, Windows, or other software you may need to do your job, all on the light-weight, inexpensive ChromeBox - this is ideal for large organizations and schools, which can purchase many ChromeBox devices for low cost and just scale up their server infrastructure and run virtual machines - consolidating IT and security primarily to the server and requiring lower maintenance of the client computers due to ChromeOS being far more secure and up-to-date than the leading competitor operating systems. There's also a tutorial on how to stay safe and keep your data secure.
It's all VERY user friendly, and I have to say it really "just works"
For the average person, a ChromeOS computer is an incredible buy - and for only $179, this just can't be beat at the moment. Lightyears ahead of my Windows 7 machine just because it's so much more efficient and lightweight. I wish I could convince my work to replace our expensive out-dated computers with these inexpensive up-to-date computers and just provide us with a VirtualDesktop through Citrix for the legacy applications we're phasing out as we move to a cloud-based system.

Il y a beaucoup de parametrages possible pour ce qui est de l’affichage et de la luminosité. Donc j’imagine qu’il peut satisfaire énormément de monde.
A noter : qu’il y a de l’audio sur l’écran et pour le peu que je l’ai entendu j’ai pas été déçu plus que ça par rapport à ce qui est dis dans les commentaires. Et en tant que Gamer on est toujours avec le casques pour mieux entendre les ennemis arriver donc bon...
遅延等も感じず快適に使っています。
Setup was straight forward and initial inpressions were good. Works perfect with PS4, screen has great colours and depth and that was with the preset game mode within the monitors picture settings.
The monitor is very light and picture is great, sharp and clear no issues.
Make sure you sit an correct level or some of the screen can go dark but when on a table or desk it’s not really noticeable.
Only issue is that is has no headphone socket or optics connection only a audio in for if using the supplied vga cable, the speakers that are built in are very tinny, you can therefore only use headphones is you use the headphone socket from the PS4 controller, this does allow you to connect external speakers using the controller which makes all the difference.
Apart from this issue I am very happy with the monitor and would recommend to any gamer who wants to improve their set up and get the immersive gameplay that a small screen gives.
5* for me and for £159 you cannot get better for full hd display and 1ms response as well as 100,000,000 contrast ratio
Excellent buy
