Zotac has displayed a couple of interesting mini PCs at the Computex 2023 show, including the ZBOX Pico PIA430AJ, the world's first solid-state active cooled mini PC, as well as a new Magnus One, packing an NVIDIA RTX 4070 graphics card, and a small Edge mini PCs with AMD's Ryzen 7 7840U APU.

While the new Magnus One ERP74070C looks quite impressive packing a 16-core Intel Core i7-13700 CPU and DLSS 3-capable GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB graphics card, all in 8.33 liters chassis, the star of the show was definitely the small ZBOX Pico. The new ZBOX Pico PI430AJ features the Frore Systems AirJet solid-state active cooling technology. Based on an Intel Core i3-N300 8-core chip, it is cooled by two of these solid-state coolers, allowing Zotac to make the ZBOX Pico even thinner and quieter. The new ZBOX Pico packs 8 GB of LPDDR5 on-board memory, has a single M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4 slot, three USB 3.2 Type-C ports, and all the usual connectivity, like the WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Gigabit LAN, and HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. Zotac also showcased the new ZBOX Edge MA762 mini PC, which is based on AMD's Phoenix Ryzen 7 7840U 8-core APU with AMD Radeon 780M graphics, all packed in a 0.64 liters chassis. As far as we know, the Ryzen 7 7840U should also feature the XDNA AI Accelerator (Ryzen AI) as well, and it is the fastest Ryzen Phoenix U-series APU with 15-30 W TDP.
