Zotac has its range of compact pcs, the Zbox series, an update. The company has introduced the Zbox ID82, ID61 and AD05. A mysterious minibehuizing with as yet unknown hardware on board, however, was the most interesting.
What hardware exactly is in the very small enclosure was built, could Zotac-employees not to say. The new housing is even smaller than the ZBox nano, which the company is already on the market. The available ports on the pico-pc little hint, however, on high-end components in the housing. So, there are two usb 3.0 ports and two usb ports enough power to, for example, an iPad to charge. An hdmi port, gigabitnetwerkpoort, sp/dif output connector, analog audio ports and a combined usb / esata port are also present.
After the removal of the bottom of the enclosure, on the palm of a hand fit, are some more specifications to discern. Zotac had two versions of the pico-pc: one with an Intel msata ssd of 40GB and a ddr3-so-dimm of 4GB, and a version with a 64GB msata C400 RealSSD of Microns, combined with 2GB of memory. However, what is under the pcb is sitting at the chipset and processor, is guessing, but a compact Sandy or Ivy Bridge system would be an option.
About the new products in the three ZBox-series from Zotac are no major questioning. The ZBox ID82 is equipped with a Core i3-2330M Sandy Bridge processor and can be supplied with 2GB of ddr3 memory and a hard disk of 320GB. A barebone version of the small housing is also available. The same is true for the ZBox nano ID61; the Celeron 867 cpu is, however, in a more compact enclosure.
The largest of the trio is the ZBox Blu-ray AD05, which is an AMD E-450 is housed. The Brazos-apu has a Radeon HD 6320 gpu on board and can the 3d content of the built-in blu-ray player decode. All of the Zbox with a remote control is supplied not only under Windows, but also with XBMC works. The operating system is not included.
