Zotac Announces Three New ZBOX Mini-PCs At CeBIT 2012

Zotac has announced three new mini-PCs in standard, nano, and Blu-ray form factors. The new models consist of the ZBOX ID82, ZBOX nano ID61, and the ZBOX Blu-ray AD05. These mini-PCs offer fantastic performance in a small and energy efficient design, giving users the performance they want without the bulky desktop tower.

The Zotac ZBOX ID82 series will bring mini-PC performance to a new level. It makes use of the Intel’s Core i3 2330M processor, which offers Hyper-Threading for maximum performance. Intel’s HD 3000 graphics alongside Quick Sync Video, InTru 3D and Clear Video HD technologies further help the ZBOX IN82 series by bringing GPU-accelerated video conversion, stereoscopic 3D video output and even hardware-accelerated Blu-ray 3D playback all within a compact and efficient design.

Zotac further pushes the envelope with the ZBOX nano ID61 series, which utilizes Intel’s Celeron 867 dual-core processor, bringing Intel’s CPUs to the ZBOX nano form factor for the very first time. The CPU is paired with Intel HD graphics, along with a memory card reader and optical S/PDIF output, making the palm-sized ZBOX nano ID61 series versatile and powerful within such a small footprint.

The ZBOX Blu-ray series will receive a refresh with the new ZBOX Blu-ray AD05, which packs an AMD E-450 APU with AMD Radeon HD 6320 graphics for smooth playback and performance. The new Blu-ray series will come bundled with Zotac’s Media Remote and USB IR reciever for easy control when paired with popular media center software (Microsoft Windows Media Center and Open ELEC). All three ZBOXes will be fully customizable as barebones platforms, with plus models coming with 2GB of memory with a 320GB HDD pre-installed.
