Zotac’s ZBOX ID84 mini PC sports Cedar Trail CPU and optional NVIDIA, starts at $229

August 10, 2012

As recent history would kindly tell us, Zotac really, really loves its tiny computing boxes. Now the outfit’s introduced yet another one to its mini PC mix: enter the ZBOX ID84. The standalone unit — which lacks an HDD and memory sticks — is set to be priced at a not-too-shabby $229, while the “Plus” model will carry a more expensive $319 price tag, but does come sporting a decent 320GB (5,400RPM) hard drive, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 520M GPU alongside the dual-core Intel Atom D2550 CPU. Ports-wise the ZBOX ID84 Plus is pretty well-stacked, sporting two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, a notorious 6-in-1 card reader, gigabit Ethernet, plus DVI and HDMI. All in all, it looks like Zotac’s latest miniature could get most anyone through the days, though we wouldn’t blame you if you’re interested in something with a little more power under the hood.
