Zotac MAG HD-ND01
Zotac is known for its GPUs and boards and the company has now branched out into mini-PCs as well. The ‘MAG' short for ‘Mini All-In-One Giant' is the firm's first creation and our MAG HD-ND01 proved a cracking product all around. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the MAG is its incredibly compact and attractive frame. The nettop is smaller than the box used to hold a small pizza and finished in black with silver accents, is quite a looker. Zotac has also made it exceptionally easy to place, as you can lay it on your desk or, using the supplied mounting frame, bolt it to the back of your PC's LCD or even a Plasma or LCD TV. In testing the MAG proved a performance powerhouse. Its dual-core 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 2GB of RAM and nVidia ION GPU worked brilliantly together when running apps and thanks largely to the ION GPU's hardware-based video decoding features, the HD-ND01 also played back a Full HD 1080p video with audio smoothly. On the gaming front the GPU's abilities allowed us to play games such as Call of Duty 4 though with reduced graphics and resolution settings. Turning these up caused the game's framerate to drop below 30fps.
Small Wonder: Zotac's HD-ND01 Nettop Review
The market for nettops—small, highly-integrated, mini-ITX desktops, typically based around Intel's Atom—didn't explode off the block the way netbooks did in the past 18 months, but an increasing number of manufacturers from Acer to Dell have released new designs built around the standard, and the systems in question are steadily becoming more powerful. Zotac is no stranger to the mini-ITX market, but the company's line of mini-PCs aims to provide more than just a motherboard. Zotac now has two complete systems on the market—the HD-NS01 (Atom 270, 1GB RAM) and the HD-ND01 (Atom 330, 2GB RAM). We'll be evaluating the latter system today, with an eye towards the features and capabilities Zotac has packed into its MAG (Mini All-in-one Giant). In terms of specifications, the ND-01 is impressively capable for a system this small—let's take a look at how it's built, configured, and fitted out. We've included a couple of photos of the Zotac HD-ND01 along with a couple similarly sized devices in order to give you a more visceral feel for the unit's size and shape. In the top-down shot below, the HD-ND01 is sitting on top of an XBox 360 HD-DVD player with the Nintendo Wii alongside.
