so today I'm going to be having a look at the Zotac Meg mini all-in-one giant
okay so that is literally what it's called the mini all-in-1 Giant M A Meg
okay so first of all this is an ion based atom based PC so you can see atom
ion GeForce Cuda and pure video HD so
the ion chipset allows this small tiny
PC much like the Acer Revo to process
1080p full HD video they're saying it's
extremely s silent includes an LCD Mount has a 160 gig hard drive 2 gigs of
memory and an energy saving atom CPU now
one thing that this has going for it versus something like an Aspire Revo is
that it does not include an OS cuz not
everyone actually needs a copy of an OS when they buy a new pc so if you buy one
of these you can use your existing operating system in order to just
install it and go okay so here we go this is the you know we can talk about
this once we open it up I seen no reason to do it now here let's have a look at
the specs there we go what's inside one Zotac Meg one stand One Visa Mount four
Mount screws an AC adapter a power cord a support CD a warranty card and a user
manual and there's the full spec so we've got the atom 330 dual core NVIDIA
ion graphics processor 2 gigs RAM uh gigabit Lan okay we've got N wireless an
SD and SDHC card reader on board 8
channel digital audio and then we have VGA HDMI spiff mic headphone 6 us ports
that's a lot of USB ports for one of these that's pretty good gigabit and
then eat so let's get this opened up and
have a look at the mini all-in-one
giant it's actually a pretty nice box I really like Zak's color scheme just like
the matte black and and glossy orange I don't I can't explain why it sounds
tasteless but I think it looks great okay so what's this say it's time to
play actually in my um in my tech tips
episode about the Evo I actually did uh
a demo where I'm playing Counter-Strike Source on the on the ion chipset and it
handled it okay so maybe you can play maybe it is time to play okay warranty
terms so it has a uh a one-year warranty
okay and then there's your driver installation CD along with the Zotac
case badge then you've got your users manual as well as a quick start guide
which is available in WoW check out all these languages look at that that is a
lot of languages good job Zotac you can really tell that they're looking to sell
this internationally like with a capital I all right in here we will find four
Mount screws and then one stand okay so
we can sit the mag on top of that when we are using it on this side we found
find one power cord and then one AC adapter AC adapter
is a little bit on the big side but it's not exactly a netbook so you're not
going to be moving around with it I wouldn't worry too much about that and
then one more piece of cardboard it's packed in here pretty pretty darn well I
actually am quite happy to see that it's not going to be damaged during shipping
and it's not going to have the Finish damaged either I really like this
particular foam okay so here we are so let me see
if I can figure out how this works okay so it comes sort of sitting on top of
the Vasa Mount so I'm going to have to
slide it out okay so that is how it
attaches it actually slides right into that and then yeah there we go I got it
off okay so that attaches to the back of your monitor or your TV and then you
slide the mag down into it that's pretty clever actually I like
it and then here we are we've got the Zotac Meg itself so this thing is really
light really small and let's have a look at what we've got included in terms of
functionality so here is your power switch there is what appears to be a
hard drive LED then there's your wireless activity LED one front USB the
front SD and SDHC card reader then you've got a microphone and a headphone
port on the front then we move around to the back and here we have eSATA a couple
USB 1 GB Ethernet two more USB uhoh I'm lost I don't remember what
that is VGA HDMI and then optical audio
out and then there's your power in so it actually sits on the stand little you
know what let's like it's peeled off here so it has a very very wow very
glossy finish on it can you see the the finger shot there where you can yeah
okay awesome and it's got like a Zotac a Zotac sort of branding label on it yeah
I mean it's a fairly non-descript looking unit to be perfectly honest on
the top there's one more USB which I had missed before and then on the bottom
we've got just some air vents as well as the little piece that slides onto the
stand so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Zotac Meg
