Log In There are a few Chromeboxes available on the market right now. They're basically mini-PCs that run Chrome OS and offer various configurations centered around Intel Celeron processors. They're the desktop version of Chromebooks with the added benefit of often upgradeable RAM. The Acer Chromebox CXI comes in 2GB and 4GB variants, and I'm not sure if you can actually upgrade RAM in this one. Still, it's an attractive mini-PC that's powerful enough to stream plenty of media and do everything that Chrome OS is designed to do.
I got an Acer C720. It's really good. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side the Chrome OS, so I can run .exe files just like in MIcrosoft. With the Ubuntu, my Chromebook functions just like a Windows PC.
