1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,520 Welcome to Zotac. Today we're going to be covering a passively cooled Zbox, an 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,880 entry-level Zbox, and a new NVMe drive. 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,240 Thank you to Squarespace for bringing us to CES 2016 this year. And check out 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:18,080 their link in the video description down below. So, we're going to start with the Zotac C series. This is their passively 5 00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:21,840 cooled model, and they've had these in the past, but this one's much larger and 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,920 has a much more badass CPU in it. So, this one specifically is running an 7 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,160 Intel Core i56300U Skylake, which is a big step 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,160 above, I believe, the i3s that they had in the smaller models. That does require 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,200 much more metal due to the heat sinks, the metal plate that's in the top and 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,399 all that kind of stuff. So, it does have some weight to it, but they did say that 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,800 the final version will be a little bit lighter than it was here. So, I'm not going to quote the weight. And I 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,760 wouldn't look too closely at the size either because they're saying it's going to get a little bit smaller as well. Due 13 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:54,559 to the previously mentioned processor, it also has Intel HD graphics 520. It 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,800 has a 2 and a half inch SSD or hard drive tray, which is configurable as you 15 00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,520 would like. It can support up to two sticks of DDR3L, so up to 16 GB of 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:10,560 memory. On the front of the unit, it features a power button, two USB 3.1 17 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,640 type-C connectors, a USB 3.0/ SD card 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,439 slot, which is actually pretty cool, and then headphone and microphone jacks. The 19 00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,520 tops and sides both feature a really cool honeycomb mesh aesthetic. The 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,360 bottom just has some feet to raise it up off the ground and keep it away from 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,840 sliding on your desk. Next up, we've got the Zotac Zbox EA740, which is the more 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:35,040 entry-level Zbox that we're going to be checking out today. It features an Intel 23 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:40,479 Core i3 6100T Skylake processor and an 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,840 AMD Radeon R9 M365X with 2 GB of GDDDR5. 25 00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:46,759 I'm under the impression that this is somewhere around the desktop rated 26 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,920 performance of a 750Ti if you're wondering. This one features two DDR3L 27 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:57,600 sodium slots, a 2 and 1/2 in slot for a hard drive or SSD configurable as you 28 00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:59,600 please and an M.2 SSD slot as well. This 29 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,159 one's aesthetic isn't quite as awesome as the previous one, but still is pretty 30 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,680 good being mostly matte. I do like that. On the left hand side, we have a large 31 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,800 circular power button. Then we have a USB 3.0/ 0/ SD card slot on the more 32 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,400 right hand side with a headphone and microphone jack and 3.5 mm after that 33 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,520 and then USB 3.0 type-C connector on the far right hand side. Just note when 34 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,599 we're looking at the back here, there's actually three full-size display ports, 35 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,760 not six that you're able to see. Those six are for a digital signage version of 36 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,879 this computer, not an actual consumer available version. There's a Wi-Fi 37 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:40,080 antenna, which also supports Bluetooth 4.0, dual gigabit ports, and dual USB 38 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:45,519 3.0 ports with an AC jack on the back. Zotch also announced a 480 GB NVMe drive 39 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,879 at CES 2016 this year. It's still going to be going under a fair amount of 40 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,959 revisions both aesthetic and firmware wise in terms of speeds. So, hit them up 41 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:58,000 on Twitter if you have any feedback. It will currently be probably running at a 42 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,959 sequential speed of in terms of read and write 2500 megabytes per second and 43 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,800 1,200 megabytes per second respectively. So, it should be pretty beast mode. I 44 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,040 currently really like the aesthetic of the kind of holebased design on the 45 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,800 gunmetal side that will probably be facing downwards in most configurations 46 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,959 and I think they might be just making that flat. So you can weigh in, message 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,800 them on Twitter. Thank you again to Squarespace for sending us here to CES 48 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,760 2016. If you guys need a website because you're super badass at making ball-based 49 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:32,239 chandeliers that hang up in really crazy expensive hotel rooms, then you know, 50 00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:36,560 maybe make a Squarespace website. You can use their commerce module to sell 51 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,560 and distribute your crazy chandeliers. You might even do that in person. How do 52 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,480 you distribute a chandelier? Genuine question. Let me know in the comments 53 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,159 down below. Anyways, if you're confused because you make chandeliers and not 54 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,959 websites, you can use their 24/7 live chat or live email live email support. 55 00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,360 Their live chat or email support, which are super super helpful. They have tons 56 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,959 of different graphics, the pre-done templates that you can use to make it 57 00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,280 look really pretty. And you can even maybe make it so that there's like 58 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,959 images that are all of your different chandelier designs and then people can 59 00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:12,480 pick one specifically or they can see custom work that you've done for other 60 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,680 people. You have a gallery and a store on the same page. Badass. Anyways, 61 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,600 Squarespace, build it beautiful. We'll see you guys next time.
