I worked with 4GB of RAM and an external USB 3.0 hard disk. Optionally you can upgrade both the RAM and SSD. Newer devices have more power, but for Kodi the oldest one with 2GB of RAM and a 16GB SSD is sufficient (click here for the technical specs of the Chromebox). © NextPitįor my self-experiment, I actually chose the oldest available model ASUS Chromebox CN60. Your film collection slumbers on a server or USB hard drive the Kodi Chromebox as HTPC takes care of the library. Often you pay a little more than for a Raspberry Pi MicroSD card!
I liked this possibility so much that I searched for used Chromeboxes on eBay. In the case of the ASUS Chromebox, there are numerous scripts to either replace Chrome OS or configure it as a dual-boot system. Then, I will take action myself and look for alternatives. Our old model couldn't do that, and that makes it almost useless.īut I don't admit defeat just because a manufacturer discontinues software support. Newer models can use the Play Store and download apps like Kodi. Our old ASUS Chromebox of the first generation from 2014, however, does not receive official updates anymore. This was convenient because colleagues could quickly log in with their Google Account and access their browser bookmarks, history, and documents. In our office, we use Chromeboxes in meeting rooms. The chrome box on the left sometimes costs only 35 euros, the app "Kore" on the right is free.
