From everything I've heard, they are identical under the skin, and it's just a cosmetic difference. But just to confirm, you should check the specs. to make sure.

I bought this for my mother and it is working out well so far. The only changes i know of are with the shell of the device and they fixed the sound issue with the hdmi out.

As far as I can tell by looking at the specs & photos, it is purely cosmetic. That said, the weight is different.

i have the older model...i would say the big difference to me would be the color..mine is entirely black.

They are generally the same. There are button placement changes and the set up seemed easier on the new model. Both have worked well for us.

I own the white one and does everything the unit is reported to do. I think the only difference is the color.

Not a problem! The Display Port does need the correct plug/cord. I paid 12 bucks on amazon. Output on the chromebox is 1080 and the sound is digital and outstanding!

They are the same. if you look at Pioneer's website you will see "W" for white, "S" for silver and "B" for black. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives

This one is only in black but if you look in Amazon you will find the one with chrome. Hope this answer your question

I have the ASUS Chromebox, the video camera will not work on a Chromebox since it requires a driver install, but the monitor works great.

Supposedly the only two that will be available right away, according to the Asus website, will be black and white. And I'm hoping the black one doesn't ACTUALLY have that horrific keyboard (with the "\" key where the left shift should be)

Return it for a new one. The whole point of something like a Chromebox is its simplicity and almost immediate 'on' ability. Unless another computer that you know is OK also does that with that monitor, return the Chromebox.

I really don't know the difference but I can say the one I bought from Amazon is very low quality. It needs to be reset every day. I'd look for a different option.

The one I received is a Windows 7 - I am very happy with my purchase, I had an issue with it not charging and of course I had to go through ASUS, which worked out fine they fixed the problem very quickly.

I do not think there is a white "high end" model. I have a EeePc T101MT -EU37 BK I think the Atom CPU is faster and the hard drive is a 250GB instead of a 160 GB

Yes. I thought i was getting the black one but some how ended up with a white one instead. The software on these machines is super outdated so some videos will not play.

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.
