- 2017 November 23, Nik Rawlinson, “Should I roll out Chrome OS across my business?”, in IT PRO:
- The first Chromebooks shipped in 2011, and have since been joined by Chromeboxes and Chromebits headless clients that connect to a keyboard, mouse and display and a small number of all-in-ones.
- 2019 February 4, Brad Linder, “Chromebases are still a thing”, in Liliputing:
- Chrome OS tablets may be the new hotness, but the vast majority of devices that have shipped with Google’s Chrome operating system over the years have been laptops… also known as Chromebooks. But a few years ago we also saw the introduction of a few other categories including Chromeboxes (mini desktop computers), Chromebits (PC-on-a-stick devices), and Chromebases (all-in-one, iMac-like desktops).
- 2020 January 18, Jerry Hildenbrand, “Steam for Chrome OS would make Chromeboxes even more awesome”, in Android Central:
- There are a lot of Chromebooks and Chromeboxes and Chromebits and what-nots out in the wild, but almost all of them are lower spec cheaper models.
