Zotac has unveiled three new Zbox mini PCs that have been added to its range at CES this week, in the form of the Zotac ID81, ID80, and AD04. These compact and versatile mini PCs only require memory, an operating system, and hard drives to be fully operational, making them an attractive option for users looking for customizable and space-saving computing solutions.
Zotac AD04 Mini PC
The new Zotac AD04 mini PC, pictured below, is equipped with both a dual-core 1.65GHz AMD E-450 APU and an AMD Radeon HD 6320 GPU. This combination provides a balanced performance for everyday computing tasks and light multimedia use. The AD04 supports up to 8GB of DDR3-1333 memory, allowing for smooth multitasking and efficient operation. Additionally, it includes space for a 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps drive, which can be used for either a traditional hard drive or a faster solid-state drive (SSD) to enhance performance further.
The AD04’s compact size and efficient hardware make it an ideal choice for users who need a reliable and unobtrusive computing solution for tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media playback. Its AMD Radeon HD 6320 GPU also supports HD video playback, making it suitable for use as a home theater PC (HTPC).
Zotac Zbox ID81 Mini PC
The Zotac Zbox ID81 model, shown below both mounted on the back of a monitor and desktop standing, is equipped with a dual-core, 1.2GHz Sandy Bridge Intel Celeron 857 processor. This processor is known for its energy efficiency and adequate performance for basic computing tasks. The ID81 relies on integrated Intel HD graphics, which are sufficient for everyday use, including web browsing, office work, and streaming media.
Using two standard ID81 SO-DIMM slots, the ID81 is capable of supporting up to 16GB of DDR3-1333 memory. This ample memory capacity ensures that the system can handle multiple applications simultaneously without significant slowdowns. The ID81 also includes space for one 2.5-inch 6Gbps SATA drive, providing flexibility in storage options. Users can choose between traditional hard drives for larger storage capacity or SSDs for faster data access and improved system responsiveness.
The ID81’s design allows it to be mounted on the back of a monitor, saving valuable desk space and creating a clean, clutter-free workspace. This feature makes it an excellent choice for office environments, digital signage, or any setting where space is at a premium.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by Zotac. However, given the specifications and features of these new Zbox mini PCs, they are likely to attract interest from a wide range of users looking for compact and customizable computing solutions.
The new Zotac Zbox mini PCs, including the ID81, ID80, and AD04, offer a variety of options for users seeking compact, efficient, and customizable computing solutions. Whether for home use, office environments, or specialized applications like digital signage, these mini PCs provide the flexibility and performance needed to meet diverse computing needs. As we await further details on pricing and availability, it’s clear that Zotac continues to innovate and expand its range of mini PCs, catering to the evolving demands of modern users.
