Zotac has just introduced a new generation of Mini PCs, the Zbox CI329 Nano. The aim is to offer energy-efficient and above all fanless solutions. In other words, cooling is provided passively without the help of a fan. This choice limits noise pollution.
The Zbox CI329 Nano is based on an Intel-based Gemini Lake processor configuration. The graphics solution is provided by the UHD Graphics chip. On the performance side, this Mini-PC targets classic PC uses such as everyday tasks. This includes for example internet browsing, email management, listening to music, or watching videos.

In detail, the processor is a four-core N4100 solution with a 12-watt thermal envelope. Connectivity includes 5 USB ports including USB 3.1, SDXC card reader, headset and microphone jacks, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a wireless 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 connection. On the video output side, we have DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA.
This Zbox CI329 Nano uses the design code of the Zotac C series, namely a black honeycomb finish. As we have pointed out, one of its special features is that it offers passive cooling that does not cause any noise pollution.
Finally, in view of evolution, the chassis allows a fast access to the SO-DIMM memory and to the HDD/SSD rack, without requiring the use of tools.
The ZBOX CI329 will be available in three models: the ZBOX CI329 nano, the CI329 nano Plus and the CI329 nano with Windows. The first is a barebone version requiring the installation of a storage and RAM unit. The plus version comes with a 120GB 2.5-inch SATA SSD and 4GB SO-DIMM DDR4. Finally, the Nano Plus with Windows comes with Windows 10,
