and does so quickly and it's a pleasure to work with. I already had a Chromebox and got this one to use in another room (I don't care for laptops). I'm actually using this one in work since it's so much easier than using windows for Web research. I was surprised at how well the wireless keyboard and mouse worked. I usually have problems with wireless and in fact purchased a wired keyboard in preparation for getting this unit.

HORRIBLE customer service from ASUS. Firstly , the Chromebox is great, see any other web review for that. However, the keyboard and mouse combo that is bundled with is absolute garbage. I spent an hour on the phone, 45 minutes of that was on hold, to have the same script repeated continually from the support technicians and a supervisor for the ASUS E-Family of products named Jahvone D. The problem I am having is that the when the battery cover on the keyboard is clipped on it actually presses the batteries in too far and causes loss of continuity. I was hoping for a quick keyboard swap, but ASUS insists that I send the entire shipment back to them so "their technicians can assess and diagnose the problem." After receiving and hooking up the keyboard I spent about 20 minutes troubleshooting the keyboard not working and only by chance tried it without the battery cover. Again, very happy with the Chromebox itself, but the keyboard is junk and their customer service is absolutely hideous.
