WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.520 Welcome to Zotac. Today we're going to be covering a passively cooled Zbox, an 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.880 entry-level Zbox, and a new NVMe drive. 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:12.240 Thank you to Squarespace for bringing us to CES 2016 this year. And check out 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 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 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.920 has a much more badass CPU in it. So, this one specifically is running an 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.160 Intel Core i56300U Skylake, which is a big step 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.160 above, I believe, the i3s that they had in the smaller models. That does require 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 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 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 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 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.559 to the previously mentioned processor, it also has Intel HD graphics 520. It 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 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 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:10.560 memory. On the front of the unit, it features a power button, two USB 3.1 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.640 type-C connectors, a USB 3.0/ SD card 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.439 slot, which is actually pretty cool, and then headphone and microphone jacks. The 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.520 tops and sides both feature a really cool honeycomb mesh aesthetic. The 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 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 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:35.040 entry-level Zbox that we're going to be checking out today. It features an Intel 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:40.479 Core i3 6100T Skylake processor and an 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.840 AMD Radeon R9 M365X with 2 GB of GDDDR5. 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:46.759 I'm under the impression that this is somewhere around the desktop rated 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:51.920 performance of a 750Ti if you're wondering. This one features two DDR3L 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 00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:59.600 please and an M.2 SSD slot as well. This 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:04.159 one's aesthetic isn't quite as awesome as the previous one, but still is pretty 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 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 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:18.400 right hand side with a headphone and microphone jack and 3.5 mm after that 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 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.599 we're looking at the back here, there's actually three full-size display ports, 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 00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.879 this computer, not an actual consumer available version. There's a Wi-Fi 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:40.080 antenna, which also supports Bluetooth 4.0, dual gigabit ports, and dual USB 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 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 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.959 revisions both aesthetic and firmware wise in terms of speeds. So, hit them up 00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:58.000 on Twitter if you have any feedback. It will currently be probably running at a 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.959 sequential speed of in terms of read and write 2500 megabytes per second and 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.800 1,200 megabytes per second respectively. So, it should be pretty beast mode. I 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:11.040 currently really like the aesthetic of the kind of holebased design on the 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.800 gunmetal side that will probably be facing downwards in most configurations 00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.959 and I think they might be just making that flat. So you can weigh in, message 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.800 them on Twitter. Thank you again to Squarespace for sending us here to CES 00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:27.760 2016. If you guys need a website because you're super badass at making ball-based 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:32.239 chandeliers that hang up in really crazy expensive hotel rooms, then you know, 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.560 maybe make a Squarespace website. You can use their commerce module to sell 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.560 and distribute your crazy chandeliers. You might even do that in person. How do 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.480 you distribute a chandelier? Genuine question. Let me know in the comments 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:48.159 down below. Anyways, if you're confused because you make chandeliers and not 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.959 websites, you can use their 24/7 live chat or live email live email support. 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:57.360 Their live chat or email support, which are super super helpful. They have tons 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.959 of different graphics, the pre-done templates that you can use to make it 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:05.280 look really pretty. And you can even maybe make it so that there's like 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.959 images that are all of your different chandelier designs and then people can 00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:12.480 pick one specifically or they can see custom work that you've done for other 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:17.680 people. You have a gallery and a store on the same page. Badass. Anyways, 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.600 Squarespace, build it beautiful. We'll see you guys next time.
