  1. Hey Andrew Hatchett this price is without keyboard and mouse.  Do you need a separate set?  Mentioned on the second video that ChromeBox has it's own KB and Mouse.

  2. Andrew Hatchett do you know if I can use my Android phone to control the Chromebox (as a remote, of sorts). Sheila Hensley I may be wrong, but I was reading that it also works with Logitech wireless mice and keyboards

  3. Mark Barrus, I don't have that info as I have no mobile phone. 
    Sheila Hensley, as Mark Barrus said - it does work with Logitech Wireless Keyboard/mouse. I'm using their K330 wireless keyboard and mouse on my HP Chromebox.

  4. I use a Logitech unified Wireless trackball and keyboard with mine. They come with a usb receiver and work just fine. I have mine connected to my large flatscreen TV and can easily control from across the room. Great wireless solution as you only need the one receiver for up to (I think) 5 devices (maybe more).

  5. Andrew Hatchett​​ thanks for the info on the deal. Do you need ethernet or will it work from WiFi? Is the HP product better?

  6. Mark Barrus Ethernet is better 99.9% of the time. I've not yet tried the Chromebox on Wi-Fi but since the Wi-Fi works on my Chromebook I've no reason to suspect it wouldn't work on the Chromebox as well. Most Chromeboxes at the lower end are about the same from what I've read. Mine is the top of the line HP (i7 8GB Ram- approx $700).

  7. Oh, if I get one I want one with wire wheels, Andrew Hatchett You know me . . . more power :o  I'd rather pay the higher cost to get the full benefit.  Thanks for the answers about keyboard and mouse Mark Barrus and Lon McClure much appreciated.
