This CES 2018 feature showcases extreme small form factor PCs powered by Intel’s 8th generation processors. The host introduces the Zotac Magnus mini PC, highlighting a six-core CPU capable of up to 4.6 GHz stock, and a built-in NVIDIA GTX 1080 mini GPU inside a chassis roughly the size of typical external GPU boxes. The design emphasizes high performance in a compact footprint, with dual DDR4 RAM slots supporting up to 32 GB, multiple storage options including an M.2 slot and two 2.5-inch bays, and front and rear I/O that include USB 3.1, USB-C, SD, and multiple GPU outputs. For workstation use, Zotac also teases a line of mini workstations with integrated Quadro GPUs, starting with models like the P1000, P3000, and P5000, each paired with embedded graphics memory to push professional workloads into a tiny package. Throughout, the presenters also note expandable memory and storage, plus the option to customize with Optane memory, underscoring the versatility of these mini builds for gaming, content creation, and compact desktop setups. The segment closes by tying the tech showcases back to CES coverage, while the presenter plugs sponsor Squarespace and teases more content to come from Linus Tech Tips.
