ZOTAC ZBOX P1320 Mini-PC Review @ Vortez

Being a hardware enthusiast is more than gaming on the most powerful hardware or rocking the fastest SSD it is enjoying computer hardware with a purpose and then trying to make it better.  Of course, sometimes that sounds better in your head than on paper.

Many small devices require a custom built operating system to match the diminutive size but not this one because the P1320 comes with a fully functional, Windows 8.1 operating system. Nothing has been trimmed away from this OS other than 64bit functionality. At its heart there is an Intel Z3735F quad-core processor running at 1.33GHz (upto 1.8GHz) which also provides the shared graphics. 2GB of DDR3L-1333 memory is available along with a 32GB of storage space (expandable via SD card). Not too shabby for a device that is smaller your average smart phone!

I have yet to physically use a ZBOX but have seen the in action.  The larger ones are game ready while the smaller ones chug through spreadsheets like an office admin late for a date.  On the surface these trade show demos seem legit but I never know exactly why.  One of these times I'll have to find out.
