so TAC guys ZOTAC is typically known for their graphics cards but at Computex 2017 that continue to focus equally on their pre-built mini pcs and graphics cards in this video we're more interested in some of the cool innovations that they're bringing to the PC market with some small but powerful systems but first a message from our sponsors our complex trip is brought to you by fan tech schoolmaster and MSI so Tech's magnet series have been around for a little while now but they're now showing some revised designs with some very interesting component layouts remember the Z box Magnus is a bare-bones system so you are expected to populate it with memory and storage options while ZOTAC has pre-installed the CPU GPU motherboard and other items not only is a chassis more streamlined and better looking than before but the internal layout will now accommodate support for a full size graphics card and desktop class processors for up to 65 watts of TDP now before these bare-bones systems use notebook components to achieve pretty good performance but the bumping capabilities will definitely be noticed in real-world scenarios it's also a great move for buyers since they should now be easily able to upgrade their systems over time there's also a pretty drastic change in components being offered in different Magnus configurations there are the usual KB Lake I 5 and i7 versions but now ZOTAC will also be adding rising processors into the mix there's no water exactly which AMD CPUs will be in the options then but that 65 watt TDP number leads us to believe the bison 7 1700 and risin 5 1600 or below could all be likely candidates with that being said both AMD and Intel based systems will come with either a ZOTAC gtx 1070 Mini or GTX 1060 mini graphics card pre-installed at this time there's no word on pricing or solid availability dates but we're hoping to have one in hand soon for testing purposes so I'm pretty excited about that now this little guy is the Magnus 1050 and it's supposed to be a perfect affordable system for eSport use while ZOTAC has already introduced an option with a GTX 1060 in this range the 1050 version is still supposed to provide excellent performance for 1080p displays but cost much less supposedly it will be priced under $800 but would like to see it coming well under that do there being plenty of great entry level gaming notebook options in the same price range now switching gears a bit we come to ZOTAC solution for people who don't want to build their own pcs from the ground up or populate a bare bone system with other components this is their brand new Mac gaming PC and boy does it look so good to the eye but it also enters a pretty crowded market remember we already reviewed competing solutions like the MSI pride and three Arctic of course they're one and the ACS g20 eye links to those are in the description below every one of them had some challenges so what is ZOTAC doing to stand out well for one the max design is certainly distinctive with a perimeter RGB lining around its face and an extremely narrow footprint zolteck will also be including an i7 7700 processor which means a lack of CP overclocking but that's understandable since this is a proven system there's also a gtx 1080 mini graphics card and a 450 watt STX size power supply some of the other specifications are still to be determined since there will likely be different combinations of MDOT - SSDs and secondary hard drives for storage we'll likely see the mech on store shelves before Christmas so that wraps up our coverage of Zoet axe new PCs and while there are plenty more coverage of them they all can fit into this video however stay tuned to the channel for more Computex coverage and ebert with horican axe thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
