ZOTAC International, a global innovator and manufacturer of graphics cards and mini-PCs, today shrinks the mini-PC further with the pocket-sized ZBOX PI320 pico. The new ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico delivers a superb quad-core Windows 8.1 with Bing computing experience in a compact and versatile form factor.

"ZOTAC is a major innovator when it comes to miniaturizing the traditional PC. We began our push towards smaller and smaller mini-PCs with the ZBOX nano form factor and followed up with the ZBOX nano XS," said Tony Wong, CEO, ZOTAC International. "Now with the all-new ZBOX PI320 pico, we have created our smallest mini-PC that can fit in your pocket."

The pocketable form factor measures in at 115.5 mm x 66 mm x 19.2 mm, which is roughly the same size as a small smartphone. Thanks to the tiny size, the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico is the perfect mini-PC for any room in a house, specialized installations, and for seasoned travelers on the go.

At the heart of the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico is a quad-core Intel Atom processor with Intel HD Graphics technology for snappy system responsiveness and stunning high-definition video playback capabilities. The very energy-efficient processor is cooled with a fan-less heatsink that generates zero noise for an excellent silent computing experience.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 with Bing is preinstalled on the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico mini-PC for instant out-of-box use. Just unbox the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico, plug it in, connect peripherals, and power it on.

The ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico ships with 2 GB of DDR3L memory and 32 GB solid-state storage with a micro SDXC slot to instantly increase storage up to 128 GB. External expansion is available via three USB 2.0 ports on the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico.

A single HDMI output that's capable of up to 1080p resolution enables the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico to easily connect to most LCD monitors and displays. High-speed 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0 technologies ensure the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico delivers fast networking performance with and without wires.

It's time to experience versatile and pocketable computing with the ZOTAC ZBOX PI320 pico.

Wow. Now that thing is tiny. Looks to be about the size of my iphone 5, but 2 or 3 times as thick.

yup, all you need to find is a screen, keyboard, mouse, power supply....

There are a lot of unused Intel Atom chips available for basically Free to OEM's....
With only 10/100 and USB 2.0, this prob isn't a Bay Trail, but one of the older ones ?

Come with Z3735F

I had a hard time understanding your post at first, then it clicked it was the CPU.

It doesn't actually seem that bad of a chip, shame they had to hamstring it to 100Mbit LAN and USB2....
