Zotac ZBOX Magnus EN51050 Mini PC Review

[Redaktion]

Gaming black box. The mid-range EN51050 strikes a great performance balance between the i5-7500T CPU and GTX 1050 GPU. Still, at $700 USD, the asking price for a barebones kit is within striking distance of a full-fledged gaming notebook equipped with faster hardware.

The price is just too high.  For about that much money, you can snag a decent gaming laptop with similar or better specs (mostly better CPU).  I got a MSI Apache Pro over a year ago for about the cost of this thing.  I also don't see these Zotac units being aggressively discounted either.

[Pfft!]

Pffft!  Overly expensive and poor performance, what's to love - the fact it doesn't have a screen/output display!  Makes sense to buy a laptop rather than this I would think - better performance for the money & wow yes, low & behold you get a screen included! Ha!

[Pfft!]

Pfft!  Oh, and a keyboard too must not forget!  (and trackpad....)!
