ZOTAC ZBOX C series mini-PCs upgraded to Intel Tiger Lake-U processors with Thunderbolt 4 support

Zotac has announced a trio of new mini-PCs, expanding upon its ZBOX C series. All feature Intel Tiger Lake-U series processors, albeit seemingly with the 204 x 129 x 68 mm chassis from previous ZBOX C series machines. Hence, the trio are all fanless, despite having 28 W processors.

Currently, Zotac offers three processor options, starting with the Core i3-1115G4. All models support up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM via dual-channel SODIMM slots and have an M.2 2230/2242 slot for an NVMe SSD. Additionally, Zotac has included a 2.5-inch drive bay and a modem that supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 5.

Moreover, the new ZBOX C series machines have the following ports:

• 3.5 mm microphone input
• 3.5 mm headphone input
• DisplayPort 1.4
• Gigabit Ethernet - x2
• HDMI 2.0
• SDXC card reader
• Thunderbolt 4
• USB 2.0 Type-A
• USB 3.1 Type-A - x4  

While Zotac has not announced how much its Tiger Lake mini-PCs cost, it has listed them on its Hong Kong website. All models will be available barebones or pre-configured, for reference. Zotac ties each model to a processor, which are as follows:

• ZBOX C1625 nano - Intel Core i3-1115G4
• ZBOX C1645 nano - Intel Core i5-1135G7
• ZBOX C1665 nano - Intel Core i7-1165G7
