stuff","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"so this is the ZBOX which I looked at a ZBOX a little while ago this is a different one so this is the ZBOX Blu-ray it includes a copy of CyberLink power DVD full version Blu-ray player and this is a customizable barebones Mini PC that features as you may or may not be able to figure out Blu-Ray so it's powered by NVIDIA ion which means you also have Intel atom going on inside and it has a Blu-ray disc player which I have mentioned a couple of times already and why don't we start getting this thing open because most of the other stuff on the outside of the box is all stuff that we can see by opening the box so what do you need to make a barebones mini PC into a complete Mini PC well first you'll need a 2 and 1/2 in drive and I would say hard drive but you don't necessarily have to use a hard drive you could use an SSD drive if you wanted a nice silent Blu-ray capable media PC H you'll also need some sodium memory and I'll find out once we get a little bit further into this whether that is ddr2 or DDR3 looks like it is ddr2 up to a maximum of 4 gigs so that would be two sockets okay and then last but not least you will need an operating system such as Windows 7 okay so here we have instruction oh what is this this is a quick start guide which gives you the full specifications of the unit so why don't we have a look at what that is so you got an Intel atom dual core you've got the nm10 express chipset we talked about memory already Next Generation NVIDIA ion GPU so that is the second gen one we have one USB 2 one combo e satus / USB 2 and then we have two USB 3 ports that's a pretty cool feature okay we talked about this gigabit Len uh Wi-Fi n two channel highdef audio although you're going to have support for uh 7.1 over HDMI at least I'm assuming you will you better you do otherwise it wouldn't be a very good Blu-ray player would it okay let's open this up a little bit front view I'm just trying wow this thing's like a it's a poster look at this okay so front view system installation connecting usb3 devices connecting a bunch of different devices they give you a color guide for installing your memory module installing a hard disk and installing a mini PCI Express card oh so I see okay so it doesn't come with Wi-Fi necessarily it says it is 802.11 BGN compatible and enhanced wireless security compatible so it looks like you will need to install a mini PCIe Wi-Fi card should you desire Wi-Fi all right next we have this which includes some stuff you have some warranty terms so you have a one-year warranty in the Americas there there's your CyberLink Blu-ray disc solution and hopefully the serial number isn't on there anywhere where you guys are going to like see that okay there's your support CD which includes drivers which you should download the latest from the Zotac website here's your users manual which also includes a lot of the stuff that's on that poster that we found and let's have a look at the unit itself so the first thing oh actually no we're going to get to the unit in a minute we've got a vis amount here I'm not going to bother taking that out cuz it looks pretty firmly and entrenched in there but it's the same as the uh one you have on the normal ZBOX by a look at things and we have a power brick which is quite a bit larger than some of the uh atom based PC power bricks that I've seen but I guess part of that is cuz we are powering an optical drive we do have some mounting screws for the Visa Mount as well as a DVI to VGA adapter also in here it's quite a bit heavier too I mean I guess it doesn't really matter for a PC uh versus for like a netbook then I would actually care how heavy the power adapter is because you have to move around a netbook whereas with a PC you don't really all right there we go it actually kind of looks like a notebook doesn't it like from the bottom I I would I would guess that that's a notebook and that there would be like a screen on the other side that flips up like this so anyway let's have a look at the front it's a very slick looking little unit I like it you got like a brushed silver on the top along with a shiny glossy black here with a glowing blue ring all right then and on the very front you've got your Blu-ray Drive which is included by the way you've got an SD reader your USB 2.0 Port USB 3.0 super speed Port headphones microphone and a power switch moving along to this side you've got a little Zotac logo there which is quite classy hopefully you can see that in the camera moving along to the back we've got our power in a Kensington lock cuz you might want to lock this baby up you've got optical audio out HDMI out DVI out so you got all the options you need remember you have VGA via this one with an adapter if you want this is a USB 2/ eeta port gigabit Lan and another USB 3.0 Port remember USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible so you can easily plug USB 2.0 devices into them so here we can see we've got easy access via six nice large size screws just standard phillips head so you can take that whole thing off install your drive install your memory should use to desire and surprisingly that's all there pretty much is to say about it so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the you know what I wish I told you guys the product model at some point the HD ID 33br so the BR is for Blu-ray and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more Tech videos unboxings reviews and all that kind of good stuff"}
