We covered a great number of ground at this year’s Computex , but here’s one gem that slipped past our radar: the brand new Zotac ZBOX mini-PC, powered by VIA’s latest dual-core processor. Measuring 12 x 12 x 4cm, this little beast runs on VIA’s low-power Nano X2 , that’s available at speeds of either 1.2 or 1.6GHz, dependent on your preference. It also comes equipped with native 64-bit software support, VIA’s PadLock data encryption engine and is compatible with the company’s other processors, including the Nano, C7, C7-M and Eden. Plus, there’s an SD card reader, two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Availability and pricing remain a mystery, though we’re certainly hoping it won’t be as exorbitant as every other bite-sized PCs we’ve seen in recent months. Steer past the break for the entire PR.
The ZOTAC ZBOX mini-PC offers high performance computing in an ultra compact chassis. Taipei, Taiwan, 30 May, 2011 – VIA Technologies, Inc, a number one innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today announced that it’s going to demo the ultra compact ZOTAC ZBOX mini-PC featuring the VIA Nano X2 dual-core processor on the VIA Computex booth, TICC, room 201D.
Powered by the VIA Nano X2 dual-core processor, the ZOTAC ZBOX incorporates a palm-sized chassis measuring just 12 x 12 x 4cm, making it a really perfect solution for integration right into a home entertainment system in addition to space constrained workspaces.
“The ZOTAC ZBOX is a smart example of the types of innovations in form factor design which are possible on our low power VIA Nano X2 dual-core processor platform,” said Richard Brown, Vp of selling, VIA Technologies, Inc. “It provides a good solution for home and officer users seeking a premium computing experience in an ultra compact size.”
