This is my third ASUS Chromebox purchase.  All are "public" family computers.  After struggling for years to keep Window's PCs running in my household - requiring regular factory resets and such - this is no longer a thing for me.  Once a Chromebox is set up, these machines just run - no one bitching me out that a computer is broken and needs to be fixed.  These Chromeboxes are cheap, small and quiet as well.  If you want to run any real programs or games, you are in the wrong place.  I you want to surf, email, Facebook, Netflix, google docs, online shop - then Chromebox is your sweet spot.  Now if you can just get your family members to buy and take full ownership over their own Windows or Apple laptops - you will officially be off the hook - Mr. Default IT man!
