Cons
Con Poor build quality
This PC has relatively poor build quality, which is understandable for its price. However, it may affect performance since using sub-standard electronic parts understandably lowers overall performance. Sometimes the VRAM is poorly soldered and that causes some performance issues as well.
Con Heats very fast
The Chromebit is fanless, which is obvious considering the small form factor. Unfortunately it has serious issues with heat because even under light usage it heats at an alarming rate. Fortunately, it doesn't get hot enough to actually damage itself or the monitor it's attached to.
Con Doesn't really handle multitasking well
Multitasking makes this stick PC lag a bit and having more than two or three browser tabs open will usually mean 2-3 seconds of wait time when switching tabs.
