Is it a PC? Is it a console? Is it a TV with with browsing capabilities? The page is very vague on that. The only clear thing is that you plug mouse/keyboard/monitor in it, but that's it. I'm not sure what exactly that "device" is and does. > The Chromebox is a fast, compact home or office device. Oh, I see. It must be a printer.
