ASUS has unveiled a compact and rugged fanless computer that is designed to make it easier than ever for business users, home computing enthusiasts and gamers alike to enjoy high-quality computing in a silent and unobtrusive package.
Dubbed the Chromebox Fanless, this computer looks like a modem but is in fact a high-powered computer that can be obtained with either a 10th Generation Intel Core i3/i7 processor or a Celeron variant, with up to 256 GB of solid-state storage and a speedy 16 GB of RAM also available.
What's great about the Chromebox Fanless computer is that it can be stowed on a desk like a traditional computer but can also be mounted to the back of a monitor to keep it out of sight and out of mind.
Set to be sold for $399, the ASUS Chromebox Fanless computer features a welcome evolution in computer design.
