The Samsung Chromebox Series is a great computer for what it is. Google should be commended for developing an OS that can cater to most users' everyday needs quickly and gracefully – provided they're willing to truly invest in Google's ecosystem.

Smorgasbord of ports and connectivity ; Extremely hackable little box ; Chrome OS has improved since launch
Cheap materials and build quality ; Expensive given what it can do right now
With the latest software update, Chrome OS is easier to use. Die-hard cloud aficionados might want to look at the new Chromebook, but the Chromebox is an extremely hackable little box.

Google's Web-based operating system still isn't for everyone, but if you're curious, the Samsung Chromebox offers an affordable, attractive entry point with some useful features.
The ; offers an attractive, low-risk entry point to the experimental world of Google's Chrome OS.
Absent features and occasional software and hardware incompatibilities mar a supposedly simple user experience.
The attractive, fairly priced Samsung Chromebox desktop turns Google's Web-based Chrome OS into a not entirely unreasonable option for certain low-cost PC shoppers.

People laugh when I pull the old Samsung Series 5 Chromebook out of my bag. I almost feel the need to apologize for it when I turn it on: "Here's a $450 laptop that just browses the web. Sorry,...
Effortlessly light ; Cheap, even by Chromebook standards ; USB 3.0 and HDMI compatibility
Software still stuttery from time to time ; Creaky plastic ; Odd, inconvenient port placement
This Chromebook performed like a Chromebook

The Samsung Series 3 Chromebox (XE300M22) is a nettop that runs only on Chrome, and all the apps are Web-based. A speedy Internet connection is a must.
Speedy startup. Few Malware worries. Portable Chrome profile. Internal power supply.
Apps are Web-based, requiring constant Internet connection. DisplayPort, but no HDMI. Keyboard and mouse are optional.

2012 is the year of Chrome OS — or so we're told. When we spoke with Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of Chrome, he told us that this is the culmination of "a long, slow march" for Google's cloud-based operating system. One iteration was about...
Chrome OS is hugely improved ; Fast, reliable performance ; Lots of easily accessible ports
A little expensive ; Chrome OS still needs more features to be competitive ; Relatively useless without an internet connection
A new look and new hardware for Google's browser OS

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
If you already have a decent pc, this is a great bit of extra kit - like using a tablet or smartphone, it gives you an alternative way of working/playing. Does exactly what it says on the tin!
No vga output so adapter needed.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Whole Google package and simplicity. Familiar feel for existing Gmail and Chrome Browser users
Bluetooth currently only for keyboard and mouse (not audio and other devices unfortunately) Strangely no HDMI port
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Does exactly what it says it does! It is extremely fast and good to use and I highly recommend it.
Needs the right leads to go with it and doesn't have HDMI connector, but no real problem as leads are available.
