Compact Chrome OS desktop for everyday work

The ASUS Chromebox 5a is a small-form desktop computer built for students and home offices. It runs Google Chrome OS and ships with a power adapter. No monitor is included in the box.

Suited to web-based workflows, not heavy local tasks

This system fits users who rely on browser apps, cloud storage and light Android software. Buyers who need large local storage, discrete graphics performance or the ability to run traditional Windows applications should consider a different class of device.

128 GB soldered SSD sets the storage ceiling

The internal drive provides 128 GB of solid-state capacity with no hard-drive bay for expansion. If your files, media or offline apps exceed that space, this unit will not meet the requirement.
