Zotac's Latest Mini PC Is Built for VR Gaming
Zotac's newest Magnus ERX480 VR-capable mini PC kit comes packing an AMD Radeon RX 480 Polaris-based GPU. Zotac's selling the new mini PC in three models: barebones, Plus, and Windows 10. The barebones version comes with a 2.2GHz Intel "Skylake" Core i5-6400T CPU and the Radeon RX 480, but lacks RAM, storage, and an operating system.
The Magnus ERX480 packs two memory slots that can take up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM in 1866 or 2133MHz flavors. For storage, the ERX480 provides a 2.5-inch SATA 3.0 bay and an M.2 SATA SSD slot.
The Plus version includes 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB 2.5-inch hard drive, and a 120GB M.2 SSD. The Windows 10 version is simply the Plus version with Windows 10 Home 64-bit preinstalled.
All three versions of the ERX480 come packing two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and singular USB 3.1 Type-A and USB 3.1 Type-C connections. The USB 3.1 ports are both gen. 2.
The Magnus ERX480 can power four displays at once and comes with two HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.3 ports. Zotac says the mini PC can do 4K at 60Hz.
The ERX480 also offers 802.11ac/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and an SD/SDHC/SDXC card reader. The small device measures 8.27 inches by 8 inches and has depth of 2.45 inches.
Zotac did not announce pricing or a specific release date for the ERX480.
