Asus Chromebox 5

I don't like ChromeOS, but I gotta admit it's a perfectly fine name for the system. They don't bury the lede ("this runs Chrome") and they suffix it with a brief product identifier. If you are looking for a device with Chrome on it, this will qualify. If you need a Windows machine or a Mac, they aren't pretending to compete with them.

Is there a more straightforward name that even makes sense here?

This is a weird argument. Every computer runs Chrome so that doesn't explain why anyone would want a ChromeOS device.

There's nothing wrong with the name, but it's also not so well-known or self-evident that it never needs to be explained.
