Asus Chromebit CS10 review: What it's like to have Chrome OS in your pocket

Asus’s Chromebit CS10 is small enough to go just about anywhere.

This $85 device is really a Chromebox, shrunk down to roughly 4.75 x 1.25 x 0.625 inches and weighing 2.65 ounces. To use it, you’ll need a display with an HDMI port. You’ll also need a mouse and keyboard.
