It seems like a good alternative to raspberry pis. We use these types of small computers to power dashboards, and frankly the Pis are a pain to set up for this purpose. I hope the Chromebit works well for just loading a website.

I'm pretty sure it'll be good at that :)

For dashboards and kiosks, there might be of use:

That's exactly why I was considering buying a raspberry pi for. Have you also considered the chromecast for this (maybe by creating a custom app/plugin for your dashboard)?

We dropped using the pi for chromecast. Much more responsive and less maintenance, though the Pis are great learning tools.
