The Chromebox is a fast, compact home or office device.

The first sentence describes this as a device not a computer. This seems like a poor choice, as is that the page mentions the word 'computer' not once.

And "device" without context is as appalling word without context. When I was an editor I always banned it without context, telling the writers "Would you use the word 'thingy'? Because that's what you've just called it."

I can't even figure out what it is/does.

"The Chromebox is a fast, compact home or office device." That means nothing to me.

Fast, compact device used in homes and offices. A microwave maybe? Or maybe a novel type of stapler?
