Zotac’s latest ZBox Magnus EN mini PC is now rolling out, bringing high-end connectivity and memory support to a remarkably compact form factor. Built for power users who want a small system without sacrificing speed, this machine supports either DDR5-5600 SODIMM or DDR5-6400 CSODIMM memory and offers two M.2 2280 slots for PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs, making it easy to configure blazing-fast storage and plenty of RAM.
Connectivity is a standout. The ZBox Magnus EN features front and rear I/O, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-speed peripherals and docking, plus three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. In the right setup, those DisplayPort connections can drive native 4K at up to 240 Hz without relying on Display Stream Compression, provided you pair it with a compatible monitor such as the MSI MPG 322URX. That combination makes the mini PC a compelling option for esports-level gaming, ultra-smooth creative workflows, and cutting-edge home theater builds.
The system is being sold as a barebones unit, giving enthusiasts the flexibility to choose their own memory and storage. Pricing starts at CNY 13,999 in China (about $1,966). In Europe, listings begin around €1,600 and up (roughly $1,865), depending on the retailer and configuration. Details for other regions have not yet been announced.
If you’re shopping for a compact desktop that still delivers serious bandwidth, fast NVMe storage, and next-gen display capabilities, the ZBox Magnus EN deserves a close look. With DDR5 support, dual M.2 slots, Thunderbolt 4, and triple DisplayPort 2.1b, it’s built to anchor a modern, high-refresh 4K setup in a footprint small enough to fit almost anywhere.
