Zotac Unveils Zbox mini-PCs With Blu-ray Drive

Zotac has updated its Zbox line of HTPCs with the HD-ID33 and the HD-ID34. The most notable improvement from this update will be the inclusion of a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, and while pricing wasn’t mentioned yet, Blu-ray support on a small form factor computer is definitely welcome. The main difference between the ID33 and ID34 is that the latter includes a 250GB hard drive and 2GB of DDR2 RAM, while the ID33 leaves the 2.5-inch hard drive and RAM slot open for users to pop in a hard drive and RAM of their choice. Specifications of these machines include:

• 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom D525 processor
• NVIDIA ION graphics
• Slot-loading Blu-ray drive
• Wi-Fi b/g/n
• Intel NM10 Express chipset
• USB 3.0
