The new E-series ZBOXs pack a lot of punch into a little package. They will feature the latest i5 and i7 Intel Haswell processors with Iris Pro 5200 graphics, which according to Carsten Berger, Senior Director for ZOTAC International “hits that sweet spot we need to fit in a ZBOX chassis”. The 3rd Generation ZBOX chassis has also had a makeover to give it more of a gaming feel. Painted in all-black with a light-up orange O-ring on the top it is sure to get people’s attention.
