Zotac showcases the NEN, a new Steam Machine gaming PC with the Intel Core i5-6400T processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, 1TB 2.5" HDD, and 8GB memory. Pricing and availability is unknown.
ZOTAC International, a global innovator and
manufacturer of graphics card and ZBOX Mini PCs, makes the case for small form
factor gaming with NEN, the most powerful small form Steam Machine. ZOTAC taps
into NEN to draw out a truly powerful Steam Machine with minimalism, portability,
and an all new design for a new way to game.
ZOTAC, the original Mini PC manufacturer, has been producing Mini PCs since 2008
and are continuing to innovate with more power, higher efficiency and smaller size.
With the recent release of the MAGNUS, the most powerful small form barebones
Gaming Mini PC, ZOTAC is pushing their momentum forward to unleash an even
more potent machine.
PC Gaming. Console DNA.
NEN is the ability to tap into your innate aura, hone it, and utilize it to further yourself.
ZOTAC has laid the groundwork for the NEN Steam Machine with the power,
dormant and waiting. NEN is not simply a PC turned Steam Machine. It is
engineered from the ground up to game with the mechanics of the PC fused with the
genetics of console to be the most powerful small form Steam Machine. Game with
pure brute of PC with a 6th gen Intel quad-core Skylake processor and NVIDIA
GeForce GTX graphics hardware, and play with the precision of a console with the
all new bundled Steam Controller. Hardware of the future, here today in the form of
NEN.
Size, sound, acoustics, and lighting are all very important for a system that will
anchor as the home entertainment center. ZOTAC engineers shrank all the
functionalities and power to a mere height of two inches to ensure it fits neatly into
the entertainment center while maintaining whisper quiet levels at maximum cooling
performance utilizing dual radial coolers. It also features the ability to disable the
power on LED so it will be just you and the game; an almost impossible feat of
engineering just a few years ago.
