My Chromebit Is Truly In Hand
December 11, 2015 by Dave Haynes
When Asus finally put Chromebits on the marketplace last month, I decided to order one online.
No could do. At least not in Canada.
I tried a week later and no luck. No one had them, though there was a place in the US that had them on back-order and they maybe, just maybe, shipped into Canada.
Earlier this week I tried again, and up popped a site with them. So I went through the motions, expecting something about out of stock, or back-order, to eventually pop up.
Nope. Ordered it. FedEx just showed up with one.
So I hope to carve out some time in the next couple of weeks and through the usually placid holiday period to try this little $85 US (or $987,060,012 CAD – the dollar’s down a bit lately) device, and see how it does running video and motion graphics. I want to try Google’s own signage application, but if your CMS supports Chrome devices, and you want me to give your cloud-based toolset a whirl, let me know.
