Zbox HD-ID11 nettop review

“Pros: This tiny home theatre box is the perfect
partner for streaming HD content to your TV, or as a mini Linux
entertainment system

Cons: Fan noise and driver support are currently an issue, but
these should improve with updated BIOS and driver releases in no
time

“The engineers at Zotac know a thing or two about putting
together Home Theatre PC (HTPC) motherboards, and the Zotac MAG was
an excellent first nettop from the company. While it scored well,
it wasn’t perfect, and the Zbox aims to address many of those
issues while injecting the latest technology from Intel and Nvidia
in the process. The D510 dual-core Atom processor (which supports
multithreading, offering a total of four threads) running at 1.6GHz
introduces the extra processing power, while Nvidia’s next-gen
ION-2 discrete GPU gives the Zbox access to the best GPU
acceleration for video and general-purpose processing.”
