Zotac ZBOX nano XS AD11 PLUS

Darksaber · Oct 27, 2012

The Zotac ZBOX nano is minuscule in size, but packs a full AMD based system within. The compact dimensions along with the wall mount and plethora of connectivity make the ZBOX nano an interesting choice for HPTC and Office users.

Neat little box, thanks for the review. Only complaint I have is the CPU. Wish they would use Intel mobile variants instead of the APU or Atom.

Looks like a nice unit tho not much of an upgrade to the Nano AD10 which I own the ssd is a godsend compared to the 5400 rpm drives they old model came with.
Coming from someone who has used the AD10 which has the same fan setup I can verify that it is extremely quiet.
Even on the highest fan profile in bios I cant hear it from 6 ft away with the TV volume on 2.

I like, it reminds me of a supercharged Raspberry Pi. I think it would be fun to build something in this form factor.

I'd love to muck around with one, for sure.

What about Netflix HD?

Local content is no problem but I need to know about streaming content which places a larger load on the system as a whole.

The AMD M1 chipset enables all additional functionality and holds the embedded Radeon HD 6320 GPU.

i always thought the HD6320 GPU is in the APU die (E-450), not in the chipset :rolleyes:

I'm starting to look at something compact like this for a home domain controller/dns box but this one may be a bit overkill. Though, with more power, it could do more things in addition to that...

somethings confusing me. on one page it says it has an external IR port (and a complaint about it not having internal), then the next shows an internal one.

typo?
