Posted August 28, 2014 Source http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/zotac-mini-pc-pocket-zbox-pico,news-48696.html 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 Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 28, 2014 That's pretty cool. Too bad most flash card memory isn't the greatest, could make for an interesting system. 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 "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

Posted August 28, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 28, 2014 Author Heh, 1080p video peasant. 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 Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
