ZOTAC ZBOX AD02 Brings Fusion To The SFF HTPC Realm
Zotac clearly has a thing going with their ZBOX series. The company has
been cranking them out like nobody's business lately, and the ZBOX AD02
mini-PC is the latest. They've been doing great things with the SFF form
factor, and particularly with the HTPC crowd, these space saving
machines have really hit the spot. The newest series is powered by AMD's
new Fusion E-350 APU, with an integrated Radeon HD 6310 graphics chip
to handle the high-def output.
The tiny box also has room for a 2.5" HDD and two DDR3 SO-DIMM modules, and the "Plus" model ships with a 250GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM and Windows 7. There's also USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and eSATA connectivity options. No pricing information is given, but these guys have been very competitively priced in the past; here's hoping that trend continues. Now, if only one were offered with Blu-ray and a TV tuner...
