Well it can be as it offers an x86 cpu, with solid performance(specially if you upgrade the ram to 4gb, and you can run chromeOS along slide OpenElec, install Linux, or if you don't mind going through hoops install a legal copy of Windows.

I was ready to buy an Asus chrome box after reading the helpful first post. Couple questions tho.
After a quick google the M004U seems the best chrome box. (Since I don't need any crazy future-proofing) does that sound about right or is there any new ones recently or soon out?
Anyone in the uk know why it doesn't seem to be sold here? Any obvious problems I might hit if I buy one from U.S. eBay?
Aldo I really fancy running proper live TV through Kofi using my digital TV aerial, do I need to consider a more powerful machine for that?
Much appreciated folks

Besides the power plug and warranty, I don't think one would hit any problems.

I've been thinking of setting up another TV in our kids playroom with a Kodi box, so this may be the best news I've seen yet.

I think he means Raspberri Pi now supporting frame-packed 3D?

I don't buy anything on ebay that's not BIN. If it's a legit retailer with positive feedback then I don't see a problem, esp since you are protected by paypal/ebay.
