Zotac launches Mek Mini PC with removable GeForce RTX 2070 graphics

Unveiled at CES 2019, Zotac is finally ready to launch its sleek Mek Mini small form factor PC. The system is notable for being a bit larger than Zotac's all-popular ZBox mini PCs but with standard LGA 1151 CPU options and an upgradeable short-length GeForce RTX graphics card.

As the miniature version of the Mek Ultra PC tower, the Mek Mini is just 9.18 Liters and 261 mm tall to be roughly comparable to the MSI Trident 3. Current SKUs, however, appear to be limited to the Core i7-8700 and GeForce RTX 2070 for now. It's important to note that the system utilizes not one, but two external AC adapters much like on the ZBox Magnus EK71080.

As is typical of Zotac, the manufacturer is not mentioning any prices for the Mek Mini PC. Expect the system to be available in the next few weeks via major online retailers like Newegg and Amazon. Interestingly, all initial units will only come in black whereas a whole range of colors were showed off at CES 2019 including Lime Green and Red. Here's hoping that Zotac will reintroduce those extra color options in the future.
