Many of us were named with hopes by parents that we will be able to live up to the qualities of the character reflected in the name, and I suppose the same can be said for the Zotac StreamBox, which is a diminutive device that you can plug into a TV, allowing you to stream content straight from your smartphone, a tablet, or even a notebook, over to a large screen TV in the comfort of your living room. Supported wireless protocols include DLNA and Miracast, which means if you happen to own an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean or later smartphone or tablet, you are able to mirror your mobile display on your TV.
The Zotac StreamBox is a refreshing change from the mini-computers that Zotac has been offering all this while, as it functions more of a bridge between your mobile devices and your TV compared to being a fully functional computer in its own right. Detailed hardware specifications of the Zotac StreamBox remain scarce on the Zotac website, we we have confirmed the availability of HDMI output, a microUSB cable, a USB power adapter, a mini optical S/PDIF adapter, USB, Ethernet, and 802.11n WiFi support. There is no word on pricing or availability just yet though, so stay tuned.

Despite the fact that Zotac‘s model number sequence appears to run backwards, the company’s latest mini-PCs on show at CES appear to contain healthy upgrades relative to the ZBOX ID84 we saw in August. According to a brief report at Hot Hardware, the new range — including the ID42 and ID83 — will bring additions like dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual WiFi antennas for better reception and, most importantly, a cooling system the allows for more powerful processors up to a Core i3-3120M. Different configurations will come with either HD4000 integrated graphics or NVIDIA’s GeForce 620, and can be purchased as barebones units or with RAM and HDD preinstalled. As for pricing and availability, we’ll just have to wait and see –although early retailer listings suggest the Ivy Bridge ID83 could cost around £320 ($520).

As recent history would kindly tell us, Zotac really, really loves its tiny computing boxes. Now the outfit’s introduced yet another one to its mini PC mix: enter the ZBOX ID84. The standalone unit — which lacks an HDD and memory sticks — is set to be priced at a not-too-shabby $229, while the “Plus” model will carry a more expensive $319 price tag, but does come sporting a decent 320GB (5,400RPM) hard drive, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 520M GPU alongside the dual-core Intel Atom D2550 CPU. Ports-wise the ZBOX ID84 Plus is pretty well-stacked, sporting two USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, a notorious 6-in-1 card reader, gigabit Ethernet, plus DVI and HDMI. All in all, it looks like Zotac’s latest miniature could get most anyone through the days, though we wouldn’t blame you if you’re interested in something with a little more power under the hood.
