BREAKING: Zotac has just launched its highly anticipated mini PC, the Zbox Magnus EN275060TC, claiming it can rival the Apple Mac Studio in performance despite its compact size. This powerful device features an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card, all packed into a chassis that fits in your jacket pocket.
Measuring just 210 x 203 x 62.2 mm and weighing approximately 1.4 kilograms, the Zbox Magnus is designed to deliver desktop-class performance in an ultra-slim form factor. With a total volume of only 2.65 liters, it is one of the smallest systems equipped with a full desktop-class GPU, making it a game-changer for both creatives and gamers.
The Zbox Magnus is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, boasting 20 cores with a turbo boost of up to 5.2GHz. This setup, combined with the 16GB of VRAM from the graphics card, promises to handle demanding tasks like 4K gaming and AI workloads with ease.
However, as excitement builds, some concerns arise regarding thermal control and sustained performance due to the compact design. Users will need to install their own memory and storage, allowing for customization but also increasing the total cost as premium components are added.
The Zbox Magnus supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory and includes dual M.2 slots for flexible SSD installation. For connectivity, it offers two Thunderbolt 4 ports, five USB Type-A ports, dual Ethernet connections, and four display outputs, including HDMI and DisplayPort options, accommodating multiple monitors and peripherals.
In an age where portability is key, this mini PC also supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for seamless wireless connectivity. Yet, the device relies on a hefty 330W external power supply, which could compromise its appeal as a fully portable solution.
The Zbox Magnus is currently priced around €1,600 (approximately $1,555) in European markets, positioning it against larger desktops that may offer better cooling and performance. As consumers look for powerful yet compact solutions, the Zbox Magnus could steal the spotlight in the mini PC market.
Stay tuned for updates on user reviews and performance benchmarks as the tech community dives into this latest offering. This launch is set to reshape the landscape of compact computing, appealing to both business users and gaming enthusiasts alike.
