Explore the many capabilities of Chromebox mini PCs

Find out why Chromebox mini PCs are the perfect solution for many businesses, education establishments and healthcare practices.

 

The days when PCs were big, bulky, beige boxes that took up loads of room are thankfully long gone. With modern mini PCs, you get all the power of a workstation in a much smaller form factor. This makes them ideal for use cases where size, power and even looks are important. Whether you are operating your business in finance, healthcare or even education, you need powerful, robust and reliable hardware. Devices such as the ASUS Chromebox 3 certainly fit the bill here as they are versatile PC systems that have a multitude of potential uses. Small, but perfectly formed For starters, Chrome-based mini PCs are small, measuring a diminutive 148.5 x 148.5 x 40mm. This means that they can be used almost anywhere, even in the smallest of spaces. Consequently, they are not just ideal machines for reception locations, they can also be used effectively in medical consultation rooms where they can be mounted on the rear of screens to keep things tidy. Chromebox mini PCs There’s a lot of power inside these smart little boxes, provided by the latest Intel CPUs and a rack of fast memory. Usefully, a device like the ASUS Chromebox 3 also has the capability to run up to two 4K/UHD displays. Despite the power they provide, these mini PCs systems are also extremely quiet, even when working under heavy loads. They are 36% quieter than the industry average when idle and 46% quieter when under full load. That’s quieter than two people having a conversation, so at least you know that the Chromebox 3 won’t be the one that interrupts you. Power consumption is lower than the industry average too. A Chromebox 3 uses as much as 80% less power than the industry average for desktop computers.

 

ASUS Chromebox 3 for education Of course, a Chromebox 3 isn’t only suitable for business and healthcare, it’s also perfect for use in schools. As such, these mini PCs are thoroughly drop and vibration tested and so are more than capable of withstanding the demands of the modern classroom. Security is also a paramount concern. Chromebox 3 systems come with a standard Kensington lock slot, so they can be, quite literally, locked down. In terms of maintenance, as Chromeboxes run the Chrome OS, they automatically install updates whenever they are online. This ensures that you always have the latest software versions and security fixes to stay safe from viruses, malware and other malicious elements on the web. Chromebox mini PCs They also have a protected and encapsulated onboard micro-controller security chip, which safeguards internal data structures against real-world threats. Crucially, Chromebox 3 systems are easy to manage, even if you have a lot of them installed in multiple locations. The hardware can be set up in minutes and you can centrally manage 10 or 10,000 devices across a school, district, or region. A consistent experience, everywhere Another benefit for students using the Chrome OS that powers a Chromebox 3 system, is that each user can have their own account. This ensures that they will always have a personalised computing experience, even when they share the mini PC with others. They can then use that exact same login on their home device, accessing apps and files so that they can do their homework no matter where they are working. If you are looking for a safe, powerful, reliable and easy to manage system for a school, office or medical practice, then the ASUS Chromebox 3 ticks all the boxes.
