Abstract: Would you believe that there's a Celeron-powered nettop that sells for £270, including all of the software you need? Samsung's Chromebox gives the small form factor market something to think about with its slim profile and pre-installed Google Chrome O...
Decent budget introduction to Google's world of Chrome, compact, fast bootup,
Lowpowered, not much storage, OS still finding its feet
With the Chromebox you get a similar set of specs to the Chromebook laptop, but without the keyboard, mouse, display, battery or 3G. It's basic, yes, but capable, and is likely to improve quickly as Chrome develops. If you already have the accessories,...

Easy to set up, Snappy web browsing, Chrome OS improvements, Small and attractive
No HDMI, Poor built, in speakers, Still underpowered, Limited file compatibility
Compared to the first generation of Chrome OS-powered devices, the Samsung Chromebox XE300M22 is a solid, yet unspectacular, desktop PC. There's an awful lot of potential here, especially as our broadband speeds increase and more services take to the clo...
So, moan, moan, moan? Well, I guess so but that’s resistance for you. Google Chrome OS takes you out of your comfort zone and the grumbling starts because you have to learn to do things differently. Beyond Google’s own compulsive yearnings to fondle e...
Plenty of connectivity, largely safe from viruses, small and light, great if you live in the Google universe
Not cheap enough, feels sluggish, HDMI would be nice, lack of compelling apps, begs to be made into a media player
A nice, simple-to-use computer that gives cloud users pretty much everything they need. That said, we don't think it's cheap enough - £150 would be closer to the mark - and the lack of proper apps, OS features and sluggish feel need to be addressed...
Attractive way into the world of Google's Chrome OS, Low price
Occasional software and hardware incompatibilities, Only 16GB storage
The attractive Samsung Chromebox Series 3 desktop turns Google's web-based Chrome operating system into a decent option for low-cost desktop PC shoppers, so long as you're happy with shortcomings such as low storage and an OS that's still teething....
Extremely fast, Plenty of ports, Chrome OS is starting to mature
Derivative design, Limited ecosystem, Expensive compared to the competition
All in all, 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 ecosy...

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
The Samsung Series 3 Chromebox is a nice alternative to a cheap nettop that you're buying just to get on the Web, especially for that relative of yours that "needs to get on the Facebook." If it came with HDMI in the box, it would be a home run hitter. A...
Quick boot time, Plethora of ports, Multi-monitor support
Expensive considering underlying hardware, Hit-or-miss support for apps and USB devices
Samsung's $329 Chromebox might look like a Mac Mini, but its Google Chrome OS, while improved over previous versions, still has major limitations. It's okay as a second or third computer, but budget PCs offer better hardware and a full-blown OS. Read Mor...
