ZOTAC launches a new fanless ZBOX. The CI329 features Intel's Celeron N4100 and an improved cooling system. It's available as a barebone (CI329 nano) with 4GB RAM and a 120GB SSD (CI329 nano PLUS) or 4GB RAM and a 32GB SSD (CI329 nano with Windows).
Considering Gemini Lake's improvement in single thread performance, it's also the first time that an Atom-based system can be considered as a true desktop replacement, in our books.
Bay Trail, Braswell, and Apollo Lake generations retailed for $160 (barebone), and we don't expect the CI329 to be priced differently.
