Title: i7 5500u chromebox still able to do basic tasks well?
Post by: cat herders of linux on 01 December 2024, 20:00:01
like web browsing and office tasks?  this one is 46$ plus shipping.  is it worth it?  is there a better low cost option?

If that thing has soldered NAND SSD as a part of SBC, then this is worthless. There are far better deals if you're willing to go a little bigger on the chassis factor.

assuming it did have a soldered ssd, what would you have recommended.  just curious.
