Zotacs smallest mini pc (smallest pico pc?)

ShadowCaptain
 
Zotac have announced a new Pico PC, much smaller than the intel NUCs, this can fit in your jeans back pcoket!
 
"The ZBOX PI320 pico includes Intel's quad-core Atom Z3735F processor (1.33 GHz, 1.83 GHz), Intel HD graphics, 2 GB of DDR3L memory and 32 GB of internal storage. There's also a microSD card reader for adding an additional 128 GB of storage, which is ideal given that the usable space on the 32 GB model is roughly a mere 12 GB and around 48 GB for the 64 GB model.
The new mini-PC includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, Wireless N and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, three USB 2.0 ports and a 3.5 mm audio/microphone combo jack. Windows 8.1 with Bing is pre-installed, meaning the pico device is ready to go right out of the box, as opposed to some SFF PCs that ship without an OS"
 
This thing is really cool, no pricing yet

That's pretty cool. Too bad most flash card memory isn't the greatest, could make for an interesting system.

 

That will make a cool media center device.

I think it'd fail due to the lack of storage.

actually considering it has an ethernet port I think it would be amazing for a media pc

It has a USB port. Connecting a External Hard Disk to it will give you enough storage.

Very cool! The 10/100 port is kind of lame, might as well only use wireless at that point unless using Steam streaming or something. The micro SD is nice considering USB external storage  options are likely going to be bigger than the PC :)

This seems like something that'd really benefit from Broadwell.

 

Imagine a Core M chip in it rather than an Atom. Much better

The Ubuntu phone seems to have much of the same functionality. Still pretty cool, price will be a huge deal here tbh though

I actually think this would great to just carry around, you have a full pc whenever you need one

 

That said I have a UMPC (anyone remember those?) so I have that anyway

100mbps is not bad at all. That's about the top end for most homes to the outside world.

Clearly this is a product not aimed at playing Star Citizen at 4k, and since 99% of movies still download in 1080p it will not be a problem

 

It will be a cheap product like the intel NUCs

 

USB 3 would have been nice, but not essential IMO

Intel's Broadwell and Skylake NUCs with Iris 6200 are going to be a great alternative to a full-size HTPC. Hell that has enough computational power onboard I could replace my workstation with one if it had ECC memory.
