How Does a Chromebox Differ From a Chromebook?
A Chromebook is a ChromeOS laptop with a built-in screen, keyboard, and battery. A Chromebox like the Chromebox 5 is a ChromeOS desktop: a compact mini PC that connects to your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Because it stays plugged in, it can run a faster processor such as the Core i7-1260P and add ports like Thunderbolt 4 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, which suits a fixed desk, kiosk, or signage station.
