ZOTAC announces E-series ZBOX sporting Intel Iris Pro graphics and ZBOX nano AQ02

ZOTAC has introduced a new line to its ZBOX series of mini PCs - called the ZOTAC ZBOX E-series on the opening day of CeBIT in Germany. This line-up will include Haswell processors and is targetted at those looking to game on their mini PCs as well. The two ZBOX’s - E1750 and E1730 - will both include Intel’s Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics solution. The other mini PC ZOTAC has anonunced its the ZBOX nano AQ02 which comes with an AMD A8 APU.

“We’ve always wanted to create a ZBOX that delivers a good gaming experience but couldn’t strike the right balance between size, performance, heat dissipation and energy consumption. Intel’s latest Haswell architecture with quad-cores and Iris Pro 5200 graphics hits that sweet spot we need to fit in a ZBOX chassis,” said Carsten Berger, senior director, ZOTAC International. “The new ZBOX E-series will deliver a smooth medium quality gaming experience and be perfect for LAN party-goers and gamers that want a compact gaming system.”

The main difference between the E1750 and E1730 is that the former will come with an Intel Core i7-4770R having hyper-threading, whereas the latter will come with an Intel Core i5-4570R which will not have hyper-threading. Other specifications are as follows.

The ZBOX nano AQ02 PLUS will come with AMD A8-5545M which is a quad-core APU clocked at 1.7GHz with a Turbo clock of 2.7GHz with an AMD Radeon HD 8510G graphics solution, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD, DisplayPort and HDMI display ports, 4x USB 3.0 ports, 802.11ac Wi-fi and Bluetooth 4.0.

The Indian pricing is not out yet, but all these ZBOX’s will soon start selling from this month onwards.
