The price has not yet been announced
Zotac has finally fully announced the unique mini-PC ZBOX Pico PI430AJ, which is the world’s first computer with an AirJet solid-state cooling system.
The company showed such a mini-PC for the first time in the spring, but it will only reach the shelves now. So, we are talking about a computer with dimensions of 114.8 × 76 × 23.8 mm and a volume of 210 ml, equipped with an Intel Core i3 processor and a conditionally passive cooling system. True, the processor here is a Core i3-N300 model, but it still has eight cores and a TDP of 7 W.

According to what we saw earlier this year, this CPU uses two AirJet Mini modules to cool it.
Let us recall that the AirJet solid-state cooling system is a thin plate without any fans, which itself creates airflow and removes heat.
Inside the AirJet are tiny membranes that vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies, and these membranes create a powerful airflow that enters the AirJet through the top vent and removes heat from a separate vent. This solution is not yet suitable for some powerful CPUs, but for energy-efficient solutions and ultra-compact PCs, this is a very unusual and interesting development.
The PC also has 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, wireless interface adapters, an M.2 SSD slot, and a good set of ports: USB-C, USB 3.2 (x2), HDMI, DisplayPort RJ45, and a microSD slot.
Zotac says that the new product is already available in several regions but does not name the price, and previously it was said about $500.
