welcome to my unboxing of the ZBOX Nano this is an ad02 series which basically
means that it is AMD based wait they're
calling this the ad10 this isn't what I thought it was
okay well this is the ZBOX Nano 810 so
this is AMD base so I did at least have that much figured out so this is a dual
core Apu at 1 .6 GHz which means it has
integrated Radeon 6310 Graphics uh you
have to add your own memory up to 4 gigs as well as 2 and 1/2 in drive so that's
already been done in this unit because we're actually going to be using this
very unit to show off some pretty cool functionality including XBMC running off
of this device and powering some very
intensive HD content in a very small form factor and I'll show you guys the
form factor in a minute what else we got so for networking we've also got gigabit
Network as well as Wireless N included
as and Bluetooth 3.0 it comes with a remote control and integrated IR
receiver it has an SD card reader onboard 8 channel digital audio via HDMI
as well as stereo analog audio on the front uh HDMI DisplayPort mic
headphones uh we've got some documentation here I don't really care
uh what else we got here your palm siiz Mini
PC okay sure yeah cool oh here here's
the English version quick start guide there we go so it shows you how to you
know put the thing in the thing and plug the other thing into the other thing
okay included oh actually that's not a bad remote check that out so you got
your arrows you got your Windows key your play your back your forward all
your numbers so this is yeah this is uh wow great that's a full Media Center
remote cool I was not I was not expecting that I was expecting it to
come with like a Cheesy remote all right what else we got here
antenna for the wireless uh Power uh cable that plugs into the
power brick which plugs into the uh ad10
itself next we've got uh what else oh
look Basin mounting screws so yes you can mount this to the back of your
LCD and uh
oh well gee what's
this oh that must be the IR receiver neat okay so you can position that
wherever you want it that's very handy good thinking Zotac so form factor oh
look at that it comes with this comes with everything it comes with the uh an
included vesa mounting kit so you can uh
right out of the box mount it to the back of your TV or monitor or whatever
else so check out this form factor very
very cool I'm going to go ahead and take the plastic off here so you guys can see
this orange ring actually lights up but there is a BIOS option where you can
disable it so if you want sort of a more stealthy media PC then that is
definitely an option oh look at this metal construction too this uses
aluminum construction and then a plastic bottom and a plastic top so you can feel
it's quite quite cool to the touch which means that besides this venting hole
right here you're actually going to get a little bit of passive heat output um
just from the aluminum construction very neat Okay so we've got our microphone
and headphone SD uh as well as memory stick if anyone still cares about that
an XD uh maybe that's the infrared receiver okay well either way
okay between this antenna this thing right here and this thing right here it
has Bluetooth ir and Wi-Fi okay there um
here's your power switch is that a reset button no I think that's just an LED uh
moving around so we've already seen the ventilation port and then there is where
you plug in that Wi-Fi okay that's going to be Wi-Fi that Wi-Fi antenna we've
also got an eSATA Port uh doesn't look
like powered eSATA though so it's just regular eSATA we've got two USB 2.0
ports a Ken to lock gigabit Ethernet two
super speed USB 3.0 ports DisplayPort and HDMI out remember that's where
you're going to get your digital audio out and the power in is right here as
well on the bottom we find a couple of ventilation holes here and then you can
see this has been sort of touched a lot already it's actually been opened up so
you can uh open up the unit install your
drive install your RAM and then you're pretty much good to go so it's a very
cool little piece of Hardware you can buy it as a bare bones or you can buy it
preconfigured with Hardware although if you're buying it on ncx then it's
probably cheaper to buy the Bare Bones and then buy your own RAM and drive um
and that way you get to pick whatever you want as well um the person who's
going to be using this one is actually going to be using just a little 32 gig
SSD just like an older SSD and throwing it in there uh because it's not going to
actually have any data on it it's going to be replacing his Network media player
because between the dual core as well as the dedic dedicated they're integrated
but sort of dedic ated level AMD HD graphics included it actually
accelerates Blu-ray significantly better than any of the boxes that he's been
able to find so that's why he's going with this and this is actually smaller
than most of the network media player boxes that are out there so very very
cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Zotac
ZBOX Nano 810 and don't forget to subscribe not only to this channel for
