ASUS releases Chromebox 5a host: up to Intel Core i7-1355U processor + 32GB memory

According to news from this site on June 25, ASUS has recently launched the Chromebox 5a mini host, which supports up to Intel Core i7-1355U processor, 32GB of memory and PCIe Gen 4×4 storage.

The Chromebox 5a is very similar to the Chromebox 5 Asus released last year, but has been upgraded internally with Intel’s 13th Gen Core U-series processors and more USB ports.

Asus increased the number of USB ports on the Chromebox 5a, but at a reduced speed. The fastest USB ports only support the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard (up to 10 Gbps), while the previous-generation Chromebox 5 came with a Thunderbolt 4 port that offered data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. This may limit the need for high-bandwidth peripherals.

In addition, Chromebox 5a has also shrunk in terms of network cards. The old version supports 2.5 GbE wired network connections, while the new version supports up to Gigabit speeds.

These two ChromeOS small computers are very similar in appearance, measuring 167 x 167 x 46 mm. They support the latest generation of wireless connectivity protocols, including WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and can be connected to up to four external displays with 4K resolution for an outstanding visual experience. **More pictures:** [Image link 1] [Image link 2] [Picture Link 3]
