Reason for Sale

Lying unused

Selling two units of ASUS ChromeBox 3 which I purchased used a year back. These are super tiny NUC-like devices that barely take up any space on your desk. I had purchased these devices to run as homeservers but never got the time to set them up. Both the devices run a licensed version of Windows 11 Pro, but you can install any UNIX distro of your choice. Specifications are as follows:

• Processor: Intel Core i7-8550U (4 cores / 8 threads)
• RAM: 10GB DDR4 (8GB stick + 2GB stick)
• Storage: 256GB M.2 SSD
• Wireless Connectivity: Intel 802.11ac WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2
• 5 x USB-3.1 Gen 1 Type A
• 1 x USB-3.1 Gen 1 Type C
• 1000 Mbps LAN

I’ll be providing a 65W Type C charger with each unit. The headphone jack never worked for me for either of the units (most likely something to do with drivers), but audio through HDMI works flawlessly, and you could always use Bluetooth so it isn’t an issue per se. Asking price is 11,999/- per unit. Shipping is possible pan India at buyer’s risk and expense, though I’d request 4-5 days’ time to ship.

If you have any more questions, please DM.

Curious, I did not realize these DDR4 sodimms existed.

These ChromeBoxes came with 2x2GB sticks from the factory. I upgraded one stick in each unit to 8GB. I still might have one stick of 2GB from each unit lying somewhere.
