On entering developer note that the device will wipe the existing Chrome OS just like a typical Chromebook or Chromebox. A robust shell script (bash / sh) that automates the installation of an Arch Linux ARM base system, for use with ARM Chromebooks, based on the install. Anyone who has flashed other RK devices will be familiar with the ambidextrous physical requirements although sometimes it is easier just to ask someone for help. Switching to developer mode requires the device to be unplugged and then a paper-clip is needed to press the internal switch reached through a pin-hole on the reverse of the device while power is reconnected.

So the alternative was to put the device into developer mode and install 'crouton' which while successful highlighted another limitation: Linux hardware acceleration on ARM. It may be possible to flash alternative firmware from a PC however I was reluctant to try that given this was a loan review unit from ASUS. Equally I could not get the device to successfully boot from USB. Unfortunately when trying to exploit the Chromebit device the lack of SD card has ruled out non-evasive alternative booting options. However as a mini PC my interest has always been in what it could really capable of.

Equally there are also reviews comparing and contrasting the Chromebit against Android and Windows devices. In terms of functionality the device performs well with Chrome OS (for example, running Octane 2 gave a score of 6929) and there are already plenty of user-reviews extolling its virtues. As ASUS targets the device as a TV dongle or for commercial digital signage and kiosks this probably wouldn't typically be a usage concern. However having the HDMI port on one end and the USB port on the other means a larger footprint. The device itself is slightly longer than typical mini PC stick and disturbingly tactile to hold. And because there is no fan the unit does warm up although not alarmingly so. Power (12V 1.5A) is supplied via a 'plug brick' using a jack rather than a micro USB connection and there is no button once the power supply is inserted the Chromebit will power on automatically. Also there is only a single USB 2.0 port which seems unnecessarily restrictive. Together with 2GB LPDDR3 (1066MHz) RAM and storage limited to the Chrome OS standard of 16GB eMMC (although it does come with 100GB of Google Drive space for two years) and dual-band wifi the rest of the specifications are similar to the de facto standard for mini PCs but with a major exception: there is no SD card.

The ASUS Chromebit CS10 uses a Rockchip's RK3288C SOC which includes an improved GPU (Mali T764) with full HD 1080p playback support. Setelah proses download selesai, anda akan diminta konfirmasi untuk melanjutkan proses instalasi.
