For some years now Zotac a Hong Kong based computer peripheries company has been producing high quality graphics cards for PC’s.  However they have recently announced that they are entering the Nettop PC market with their own machine known as the Zotac MAG.

The company have decided to introduce two versions of this machine both of which measure just 186mm x 189mm x 38mm in size.  Which not only being small and lightweight compared with traditional PC’s they use considerably less power.

When it comes to the Zotac MAG models one version is going to be powered by a single core Atom 230 processor, whilst the other and more expensive model will be powered by a dual core Intel Atom 330.  Yet both will be provided with the same quality NVIDIA ION graphics card which has been the main stay of Zotac’s production for many years now.

Each of the models available known as the Zotac MAG HD-N S01 and HD-ND01 are fitted with 2GB of RAM along with a 160GB hard drive.  Plus they both come with 4 in 1 card readers along with 802.11n WiFi that allows you to make faster network transfers along with Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI ports which are fully HD 1080p compatible.  Plus they are also fitted with an optical S/PDIF output and 6 2.0 USB ports.

You need to be aware that each system when shipped does not come with an operating system preloaded on to them.  So this means it is up to you as to which OS you do have installed.  When it comes to the operating systems one has the option to choose between Windows XP, Vista or Windows & along with Linux.  If I was you I would opt for the Windows 7 operating system as I have been using a trial version for several weeks now and find it very user friendly.

So being able to decide just which operating system is installed on to theirs makes this the perfect home network PC.  Certainly if you are looking for a small compact PC for your child that they can use to carry out their studies on and surf the net then this little one is perfect.

This system like many other Nettops on the market today has been designed for use anywhere in your home and perfect for all your computer needs.  Plus this is a system that although you can stand it on your desk comes with VESA mounting holes so it can be attached to the back of a monitor or on to its own stands, therefore creating further workspace on your desk at home.    So if space is an issue then the Zotac Mag is a Nettop PC worth considering.

Also just as with all other types of Nettop PC’s the Zotac MAG is a model that you can take anywhere with you.  So being able to keep in touch whilst away on holiday or business trips has proven a lot easier.  Due to their size and weight they take up very little luggage space and you can easily find an internet cafe where they allow you to connect yours to one of their monitors or keyboards.  So you know at all times that when surfing online you are secure.
