While Zotac announced the new Zbox AD03 in China a few months back, the announcement finally came today that these new nettops will be released in the US. Zotac has other nettop products on the market but this new model incorporates a AMD E-350 chip and it also includes HD graphics by Radeon. The HD graphics and the dual core 1.6GHZ processor are integrated into a single silicone chip. Therefore, you can experience faster gaming and processing speeds while doing your part to help the planet.

Nettops have become popular in the last year due the slim line design, and use of less electrical power. The new ZBOX will have a maximum power draw of only 18 Watts. Compared to a traditional desktop this is a significant reduction in energy consumption. However, while the nettop is better for the environment it still offers plenty of perks for the avid computer geek.

The Zotac ZBOX includes the same case used in previous models as well as a built the built in blue-ray player normally offered by Zotac. However, this new model is capable of displaying 1080p HD video play. In addition, the ZBOX offers two DDR3 memory slots, USB 3.0, built in wi-fi, a one gigabyte LAN, HDMI, and VGA output.

The ZBOX nettop is available for purchase in two ways. You can purchase the bare bones nettop, which doesn’t include an operating system, RAM, or a hard drive. The other option includes a full 2 gigabytes of RAM as well as a hard drive of 250GB. However, neither option offers an operating system. You can choose which operating system you want to install. The system can support Linux, Vista, Windows Xp, or Windows 7.
