Will this boot ChromeOS? ie: run as a Chromebox?

Not sure all the hardware would be supported Les. Chrome OS is a variant of Linux and at least one person who bought it had a difficult time finding Linux hardware drivers. Also, when you initially boot it up to install an OS it asks you to choose between Windows 7 and Windows 8 (no Linux choice) I returned mine for this reason as I intended to install Ubuntu. If you just want a Chromebox why not just buy a Chromebox Acer, Asus, and HP make them.

It will work with the ChromeBOX, so it should work with the ChromeBOOK (assuming that the ChromeBOOK has USB ports).

I'm not sure about a Chromebook but I use it with Ubuntu which like ChromeOS on your Chromebook runs on the Linux Kernel. You don't need to install driver software for this camera on Linux as the drivers are built into the Kernel. You just need to plug it in and restart.

This is a typo that will be corrected. Chromebox comes with a 16GB Solid State Drive.

I have not tried booting from it yet. However, if your CPU has options to allow you to select these media, I would think you can.

Sure, but if you already have this machine, you might trying setting up a Win8 VM on it. That would allow you to keep your installation reasonably virgin, and minimize the risks of changing the OS and bungling it all up.

i seriously doubt it, unless you can work something out with the seller.ms should make the iso available for free (it's worthless without a coa), because a situation like this one led me to try linux for the first time and i don't plan on ever going back.i suggest linux mint or zorin.doesn't cost a dime.

you can root the system and install xfce which is ubuntu,lite. It however yells at you every startup that you are in developer mode. it was also a little buggy, i had issues getting printers working etc. The chrome OS is awesome though, I love my Chromebook.

as long as you are signed into your google account in the chrome browser and your bookmarks are synced, then yes. you just need to login into chrome with that google account when you are setting up your chromebox

Not sure what the other people answering this question were thinking, but as with ALL ChromeBooks--it's running ChromeOS (with a Linux Kernel), not Windows 7 or Windows 8.

It runs on my Chromebox - so the assumption could be that it works in the Chrome OS.

I don´t know about the Asus i3 Chromebox performance but I can tell you that this little machine let you choose the operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and meanwhile It´s true that the chromeboxes can be good machines this product give you flexibility (and I Love that)

Only know that Windows XP to 7 work with it. Not too sure about Chrome stuff?

ASUA CHROMEBOX = comes with chrome. you need to research and find out what chromebox/chrome OS is capable of. Same goes for the people asking about "can you install ___ (program) on it?" It is basically google implemented browser based operating system that let you most, if not all of the google account related stuff : word processing via googledocs, gmail, google hangout....etc. other than the applications from google store(on line only) no, you cannot install other software. and it is not apple/MAC.

Hi Valeria, Chromebooks do not run on/have Windows OS. However, if you did install Windows OS, (please seek tech support for this), you would then be able to use the drawing tablet with the Chromebook. Thank you, Value Max

I do not have a chrome book, but from my experience with the item dealing with android and Ubuntu this should work as a generic hub.
