Thanks for watching!
Is the gpu mxm or bga?
I know it's kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Nicolas Jaziel Flixportal :)
@Franco Bryant thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!
@Nicolas Jaziel Glad I could help :D
You also have at least a viewer from Italy, myself! Always good to see your videos
I love the fact that you always have a smile in your vids
I am quite surprised that there are no reviews of this machine elsewhere on CZcams... I'd love to see more! I own the EN970 and it's pretty neat for games, with an identical footprint as this EN72070V. I got it for 200€ with 120 + 512 SSDs, which was a steal :)
Of course my main complain is the i5-5200U... 2 cores 4 threads is kinda slowing the machine. So some day I may just upgrade to the 72070V. Do you think you could do more videos of this PC? Try a hackintosh build? Try some games and emulators (like ETA Prime does)? Thanks and have a good day ;)
I ordered the [Zotac] Canadian branded "Datto-1000 Mini-PC AMD GX-415GA Quad-Core 1.5GHz CPU - 8GB RAM - 1GB HDD"
Matt "WhoisLTT?" Johnson! Great review Matt!
I'm still grinding my Ryzen 3 2200g with just 8gb of ram, but I don't have 4k footage yet lol
BTW you made better graphic bars than LTT
Great vid, looking forward to your guide on how to build my own, thanks!!
Awesome review man! Are you excited about AMD's future integratiion of the thunderbolt 3.0 since intel has now released the patents on it? Im about to do amd build with the 3900x once they get stock of the chips again.
i have a zbox en`1070 with a rtx 4000 . the quadro equivalent to the 2070 and mutant i7 9750h china socket modded cpu . upgraded from a 7500t its awesome
Just go with the HP Omen laptop with the i7-9750H & the RTX 2070 with 32GB RAM & 512GB NVME SSD and Windows 10 OS for the same price.... You also get a built-in monitor, keyboard & it's super portable. There are other laptops of course.. 👍😎
am planning to buy this pc
you always talk like we're buddies and you're telling me a secret. it's very wholesome. as if i had a friend.
#sigh
I don't have friends.
good informative review :) please review the Acer ConceptD 7 with RTX 2060 for Content Creators :) That would be awesome! :)
👍👍
Theres one with RTX 2080 but doesnt seem to be able to be purchased.
It should cost around 2000, but its still the most powerful mini gaming pc! Because ot has Killer Networking, G-Sync Support and Wifi 6. Also used like a workstation Office PC.
When he said "i have a baby and its quite expensive" I laugh so hard.🤣
Wait until that baby become a TEENAGER!😥
Ugh hahaha I know!!! I try not to think about her growing up!
Do review of magnus one !
I can't find them available to purchase anywhere online?
Matt you should try the HP Z2 G4 Mini Workstation
How loud were the fans on 60% in decibels and on 100% in decibels? Would be nice to know.
You have Fans in germany too !
Haha CZcams Analytics says 2.8% of my viewers are German! 😊
Hey Matt could you tell us something about the gpu temps? I am really considering to buy one :)
hey.Awesome review (but im a gamer ;) ) Do you know if the GPU is a Rtx 2070 inside a mobile or laptop model ? Thank u
It’s mobile :)
for your stats update, there is one guy from Honduras
It's time to create new video about mini PC for editing 😅...
can you stick 64gb of ram in this?
17:47 *Zotac Magnus Barebone: $1,599.99*
Raspberry Pi: $65
They come with RTX2080 aswell
Can this run from battery or does this charge from battery?
Umm... I like your video bro, but you do realize you can just replace that mechanical drive with an SSD? I have the 1070 version of this zotac mini pc and I have an nvme os SSD and a 1tb Samsung SSD in the 2.5 drive bay. It wouldn't make sense for the average person to purchase an external SSD when they can just purchase a 2.5 SSD and pop it in.
Too much GPU in comparison to the CPU/Memory in my opinion. I'd rather go for a Mac Mini if you want something small. Or else get something bigger and more powerful if you're really serious about performance.
So sad there’s no TB3 port.
They put a 2080 into that
If zotac would build this with the new Renoir Apu from AMD I would consider the purchase. The Shintel processors are overpriced And underwhelming.
Yaaaayy 6% Indian Squad here......🤣😁
I know nobody cares, but in places where it gets hot, lower power consumption will keep your room much cooler.
Here is the thing you didn't really look into because while the system is using an i7 it is the 9750H which is the mobile processor which the i5 9400F performs a little better so you could actually spend about 150$ to 300$ less and you can also include in a board with WiFi already.
The ASRock B365M-ITX board is 85$ and the i5 9400F is about 140$ to 150$ so those 2 with a nice case with good airflow and if you look at this list you would be spending a little less pcpartpicker.com/list/Qf79Wb
Also if i wanted to spend a little less and go with AMD i could always go with the Ryzen 5 1600 which sells for 80$ at a microcenter and shave things off a little more and would like to point out on my list i made there has a RTX 2070 Super and not the standard which is why the cost is a little closer to what you picked out to your list which if i was to go for the non super i could shave off like 100$ from the build but all in all if people wants a system and they don't have time to build it and they are shopping locally the place could build it for them which would cost a little extra unless they place would do it for free but still would have a fully built system for less than both systems shown there.
This PC console spec power will easily defeat Playstation 5 console spec.
My Zotac makes a high pitched beep noiss at startup. Can it be disabled?
hello from india
At least I’m ~5 in 100
I've been dealing with these mini PCs for about a year or so. The chipset fucking sucks
Matt your beard needs some trimming. Matt when I can see your tee-shirt threw your beard it needs to be trimmed.
Does it support 64Gb ram ?
