ZOTAC ZBOX ID80 PLUS Review

The ZOTAC ZBOX Plus ID80 is a definite improvement over the Atom Pinetrail based processors, but it gives a performance which is similar to The AMD E350 processors which were launched last year. It is great for media consumption, watching TV, watching...

Zotac ZBOX ID80-plus a very good purchase!

Zotac product is doing exactly what I purchased it for. I am able to watch movies and TV shows using XBMC software. I am very satisfied and even though I am not very good with computers, it was easy to upload Windows 7 using a USB key (with some...

Not easy to install

I was unable to install an OS on this. It doesn't boot off a USB stick. So i bought a USB DVD and it read the DVD but then it said it needs drivers for the DVD ROM. When you click on Browse it didn't see the DVD so i couldn't install drivers.Not really...

zbox

Everything was working when I first got it, but after updating the BIOS and reinstalling windows7, it won't boot. Returned for refund.

small, low power consumption, cheap ; XBMC streaming 1080p mkv wirelessly without issue ; comes with VESA mount and a USB IR receiver that works with my harmony remote as MCE keyboard ; quick boot with SSD installed

this box runs very hot! it even makes my SSD hot after 15min of watching video ; case and remote feel kinda cheap, plus the case attract fingerprints ; AHCI mode didn't work for my Intel SSD, only IDE mode worked ; i hate LED light on HTPC. You can...

Freakin Awesome

When I installed first thing I did was set CPU fan speed to 100% in BIOS, sure it makes it more noisy (no more noisy then a graphics card fan at 70% speed) but it keeps it better cooled. Then ran Memtest and tested all the RAM for hours. USB 3.0 ports...

Very small, works great as a small computer with a tiny energy footprint for a media server and file server that I leave on 24/7. Popped in 2x2gb Mushkin ram sticks, used external DVD drive to install windows 7 64 Ultimate. Installed everything I need...

Blue light ring ; Remote uses CR2032 batteries, though they are included ; Remote buttons and overall size is tiny

BIOS problems!

Do your research on BIOS problems. I wish I would have done it before getting this device. You will see that a lot of people are having the same issues I mentioned above. Apparently, there was a BIOS update, but it didn't fix any problems so they...

1. Small form factor ; 2. Silent ; 3. Higher video performance compared to other Atom processor systems ; 4. It can be mounted onto the backside of wall-mounted TV (I used some double sided tape and string to fasten it to the TV, so it's hidden from view)

1. BIOS problems ; Sleep/suspend does not work well (it works intermittently) ; Fan stays on after shutting down the computer, so I need to manually pull out the power cord ; System does not turn right back on after shutting down. I need to wait 1-3...

Practically DOA

68 degree room, good ventilation, 1 keyboard, 1 monitor, 1 mouse, and a SSD which frankly stayed cooler than anything else inside that box. No way this heating problem is my fault. Oh and the fan on this thing is a joke.

It looked pretty nice, and dang it's slim. Very quiet

Heat. Let me make this clear, this was placed next to an AC unit that keeps the room a nice 68 degrees (F). So there's no way this was environmental. I plugged this thing in and began installing windows. Barely got to the first boot and the video...
