welcome to my unboxing of the Z box nano this is an a do two series which basically means that it is MD based wait they're calling this the ad 10 this isn't what I thought it was okay well this is the Z box Nano 8010 so this is a MD base so I did at least have that much figured out so this is a dual core APU at 1 point 6 gigahertz which means it has integrated Radeon 6310 graphics you have to add your own memory up to 4 gigs as well as 2 and a half inch drive so that's already been done in this unit because we're actually going to be using this very unit to show off some pretty cool functionality including XBMC running off of this device and powering some very intensive HD content in a very small form factor and I'll show you guys the form back in a minute what else we got so for networking we've also got gigabit network as well as wireless and included as an bluetooth 3.0 it comes with a remote control and integrated IR receiver it has an SD card reader onboard 8 channel digital audio via HDMI as well as stereo analog audio on the front hdmi displayport mic headphones we've got some documentation here don't really care what else we got here your palm-sized mini pc okay sure yeah cool oh here here's the English version Quick Start Guide there we go so shows you have it you know put the thing in the thing plug the other thing into the other thing okay included room actually that's not a bad remote so you got your arrows you got your Windows key you're playing your back your forwards all your numbers so this is yeah this is uh Wow great that's a full media center remote cool I was not I was not expecting that I was expecting it to come with like a cheesy remote alright what else we got here antenna for the wireless power cable that plugs into the power brick which plugs into the ad 10 itself next we've got look mister mounting screws so yes you can mount this to the back of your LCD and oh well gee what's this wow that must be the IR receiver beat okay so you can position that wherever you want it very handy good thinking ZOTAC so a form factor oh look at that it comes with them this comes with everything it comes with the included base a mounting kit so you can right out of the box mounted to the back of your TV or monitor or whatever else so check out this form factor very very cool I'm gonna go ahead and take the plastic off here so you guys can see this orange ring actually lights up but there is a bios option where you can disable it so if you want sort of a more stealthy media PC than that is definitely an option look at this metal construction - this uses aluminum construction and then a plastic bottom and a plastic top so you can feel it's quite quite cool to the touch which means that besides this venting a hole right here you're actually going to get a little bit of passive heat output just from the aluminum construction very neat okay so we've got our microphone and headphone SD as well as memory stick if anyone still cares about that an XD maybe that's the infrared receiver okay well either way okay between this antenna this thing right here and this thing right here it has bluetooth IR and Wi-Fi okay there here's your power switch it's not a reset button no I think that's just an LED around so we've already seen the ventilation report and then there is where you plug in that Wi-Fi okay that's gonna be Wi-Fi that Wi-Fi antenna we've also got an eSATA port it doesn't look like powered eSATA though so it's just regular eSATA we've got two USB 2.0 ports a Kensington lock Gigabit Ethernet - super speed USB 3.0 ports DisplayPort and HDMI out remember that's where you're going to get your digital audio out and the power in is right here as well on the bottom we find a couple of ventilation holes here and then you can see this has been sort of touched a lot already it's actually been opened up so you can open up the unit install your drive install your RAM and then you're pretty much good to go so it's a very cool little piece of hardware you can buy this a bare-bones or you can buy it pre-configured with fiber although if you're buying it on NCIX then it's probably cheaper to buy the bare-bones and then buy your own RAM and drive and that way you get to pick whatever you want as well the person who's going to be using this one is actually going to be using just a little 32 gig SSD just like an older SSD and throwing it in there because it's not going to actually have any data on it it's going to be replacing his network media player because between the dual core as well as the dedicate are dedicated and they're integrated but sort of dedicated level AMD HD graphics included it actually accelerates blu-ray significantly better than any of the boxes that he's been able to find so that's why he's going with this and this is actually smaller than most of the network media player boxes that are out there so very very cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing your first look at the zotac busybox nano 8010 and don't forget to subscribe not only to this channel for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos but also to my NCIX Khan channel because that's where we're going to be showcasing the network streaming HD processing capabilities of this little box so stay tuned for that and thanks for watching
