1. Which Chromeboxes should I buy?
You can buy chromeboxes from Asus or Acer. We have tested both and both work very well with Digital Signage. The Asus box is somewhat more powerful, but also more expensive. The Acer box is totally sufficient for Digital Signage.
ASUS Chromebox 3
ACER Chromebox Cxi3
