AOPEN Chromebox Commercial 3 – AI Ready, Fanless & Ventless Chrome OS for Enterprise

Built for mission-critical deployments, the AOPEN Chromebox Commercial 3 delivers AI-ready performance in a compact, passively cooled chassis designed to thrive in enterprise environments. It is purpose-built for digital signage, kiosks, quick-service restaurants, retail, education, and government facilities where reliability, security, and silent operation matter most. Powered by the Intel Celeron 7305 processor, paired with 4 GB of RAM and a 64 GB SSD, this Chromebox handles everyday Chrome OS tasks with confidence while offering on-device AI capabilities for edge analytics, voice interaction, and real-time decisioning at the edge. The combination of a fanless, ventless design and enterprise-grade management ensures long service life, minimal maintenance, and scalable deployment across multiple locations, all while keeping workloads secure and compliant with organizational policies.

• AI‑ready edge performance: The Intel Celeron 7305 delivers efficient processing for everyday tasks and on-device AI workloads. This makes the Chromebox Commercial 3 suitable for edge analytics, natural language processing, signage interactivity, and lightweight computer vision tasks without relying on cloud round-trips. Coupled with Chrome OS Enterprise, IT teams can deploy AI-enabled workflows, run smart signage, and enrich customer experiences while maintaining centralized control through Google Admin Console.
• Fanless and ventless for silent reliability: AOPEN’s fanless, ventless design means near-silent operation in public spaces, classrooms, clinics, and other quiet environments. With no moving parts in the cooling pathway, the device minimizes dust intrusion and mechanical wear, leading to lower maintenance costs and dependable 24/7 operation in signage, kiosks, and unattended deployments.
• Compact, versatile deployment options: Its compact form factor fits into restricted spaces and supports flexible installation—on a desk, behind a display, or mounted via standard VESA mounts. This makes it ideal for digital signage clusters, lobby information kiosks, classroom stations, and point-of-need computing corners where space is at a premium and clean cable management matters.
• Enterprise security and centralized management: Run Chrome OS Enterprise with centralized policy control, automatic updates, and streamlined device management via the Google Admin Console. Features such as Secure Boot, trusted platform modules, and data encryption help protect sensitive information across locations, while remote troubleshooting and policy enforcement simplify IT administration for large fleets of Chromebox devices.
• Flexible I/O and storage for business apps: With 64 GB of local SSD storage and 4 GB of RAM, the Chromebox handles local caching, app loading, and offline tasks efficiently. It includes robust video output options (HDMI and USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode), multiple USB ports, and reliable networking (Ethernet with optional Wi‑Fi) to connect displays, peripherals, and network services in a wide range of deployments.
