Zotac this week announced that it is upgrading its range of Zotac ZBOX C mini PCs by launching new models including a fabulous option that is equipped with an Intel Core i5-6300U Skylake processor.
The new Zotac C Series with Skylake also features support for up to 16GB of DDRL-1600 memory via two SODIMM slots, together with a 2.5 inch drive bay for a hard drive or solid state disk (SSD). This makes the mini PC not only powerful but also highly versatile, catering to a wide range of user needs from everyday computing to more demanding applications.
Enhanced Performance with Skylake
The inclusion of the Intel Core i5-6300U Skylake processor is a significant upgrade for the Zotac C Series. Skylake processors are known for their improved performance and energy efficiency compared to previous generations. This means users can expect faster processing speeds and better multitasking capabilities, all while consuming less power. The support for up to 16GB of DDRL-1600 memory further enhances the system’s ability to handle multiple applications simultaneously, making it an excellent choice for both home and office use.
Moreover, the 2.5 inch drive bay offers flexibility in storage options. Users can opt for a traditional hard drive if they need more storage space or choose a solid state drive (SSD) for faster data access and improved system responsiveness. This adaptability ensures that the Zotac C Series can meet the diverse needs of different users, from those who require extensive storage for media files to those who prioritize speed and performance.
Upgraded Zotac ZBOX CI323 Nano
The Zotac ZBOX CI323 nano is also receiving an upgrade to Intel’s Braswell processor via an Intel Celeron N3150 Braswell processor that is supported by up to 8GB of RAM. This model also has a VGA port together with the DisplayPort and HDMI connection of the Skylake series. The inclusion of multiple display ports makes it easier for users to connect to various monitors and display setups, enhancing the mini PC’s versatility.
The Intel Celeron N3150 Braswell processor is designed to offer a balance between performance and energy efficiency. While it may not be as powerful as the Skylake processor, it is more than capable of handling everyday computing tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media playback. The support for up to 8GB of RAM ensures that the system remains responsive even when running multiple applications.
Zotac is planning to offer both barebones models as well as a Plus version that will be equipped with 4GB of RAM and a 120GB solid state drive. The barebones model allows users to customize their mini PC according to their specific needs and preferences, while the Plus version provides a ready-to-use solution with sufficient memory and storage for most users.
