Review on ZOTAC ZBOX-CI325NANO-U Series Nano Fan-Less Mini PC Intel N3160 Quad-Core CPU Silent Performance Barebone System SSD & RAM Not Included, No OS by Pedro Hague

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Zotac underpromises and overdelivers, at least for the first year

I like the form factor and low power consumption. I attached it to the wall in the closet so it takes up almost no space. With a kilowatt meter I measured 11 watts from the wall. The pleasant surprise is that 16GB of RAM is used, although Zotac says 8GB is the maximum. I used Patriot Viper PC3-12800 1600MHz RAM. Update: December 29, 2017 I'm updating this review to report that the power supply provided by Zotac is not able to maintain a good connection. I have to twist the barrel connector until the front LED lights up and then be careful not to touch it again to avoid a momentary power outage. Update: February 15th, 2018 Zotac Support informs you that this product comes with a 2 year warranty. He's owned it for 18 months, so I'm insured. I made an RMA request today.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
