At CES 2018, Zotac showed to the world its latest pico (very small tiny PCs) PCs that are the size of a credit card with thickness of superslim laptops, while supporting media processing capabilities and general PC uses. There were two new models. The slimmest one is Zbox Pico PI226 and is powered by Intel’s dual-core Celeron N4000 SoC + UHD 600 GPU. The metallic case measures only 3.76 x 2.48 x 0.31 inches and has passive cooling, as the CPU TDP is only 6.5W. This tiny PC system also comes with 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM memory, 32 GB eMMC internal storage along with a microSD card reader. It supports WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 modules, plus two USB 3.0 Type-C ports and a microUSB power header. Zotac mentioned a USB Type-C dongle with an HMDI and two USB Type-A ports.

The other one is PI336 and comes in a slightly thicker case as it integrates more powerful specs. It has the quad-core Celeron N4100 + UGD 600 iGPU SoC, 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM memory, 32 GB eMMC internal storage along with a microSD card reader just like the PI226. The PI336 comes with WiFi + BT 4.2, one USB 3.0 Type-C plus two Type-A ports, a GbE connector, an HDMI 2.0 output, a DisplayPort 1.2 and an audio jack.

Availability for the new Pico PCs is slated for Q2 2018 with a price tag of between USD$200-300.
