Zotac ZBOXHD-ID34BR

The ZOTAC ZBOXHD-ID34BR-U impressed us in many ways, including looks, overall size, features, and overall innovation. While its performance lacks, even with the fastest Intel ATOM processor, Blu-Ray video playback is fantastic, and online streaming...

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the performance of the Zotac’s Zbox Blu-Ray HD-ID34BR. In our system benchmarks, it produced scores which I thought was more than respectable. This is all thanks to Intel’s dual core ATOM D525 running at 1.8Ghz,...

Small form factor allows for out of the way positioning. Does everything that large PC would do. Windows & installed on the one that I own with ease. Did another for a friend and installed Windows 8...he loves it. I have owned mine for over a year and...

None that I can mention. If you are looking for high speed performance you should look to a larger computer. This computer fits the need of getting a HTPC at an economic price. Although I wish they would put them on sale every now and then. I know I...
