Zotac is on a bit of a roll, and keep pumping out great nettops. Their latest is called the Zotac ZBOX HD-AD01 and where their other nettops from have been powered by Intel Atom processorss paired with NVIDIA ION graphics chips.
The HD-AD01 breaks the mold by using an AMD Athlon Neo X2 L325 1.5GHz dual core processor and ATI Radeon 3200 graphics. There’s also 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Ethernet, DVI, and HDMI as well as an eSATA port, SPDIF, mic and headphone jacks, and a flash card reader.
Inside, there a 2.5″ hard drive port and support for DDR2 800MHz memory. As with many of their other nettops, Zotac will ship this as a barebones unit, which means you get the motherboard and processor, but no hard drive, storage, or operating system.
The Zotac ZBOX HD-AD01 is already available for purchase in Japan, for about$280 US but we don’t know yet when it will hit the US.
