NZXT Doko

Overview

This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to access the full power of your PC from your living TV. It can literally do anything your PC can. However, its low framerate and high response time means it isn’t the best option for video playback or gaming.

The NZXT provides remote access to your PC but its execution is poor for...

The second big thing that the DOKO can be used for is gaming. PC gamers have been wanting to bring their games to the living room for quite a while now and the DOKO is a device that is quite capable of doing that. Again in my testing I had no issues...

At first glance the limit of Full HD resolution and frame rates around 30fps look like terrible obstacles to game play but in practice this isn’t a major issue. The 50-80ms latency isn’t too critical for solo game play but would be a real problem for...

A simple device to get working, but it doesn't quite have the power to offer a consistent, or particularly enjoyable, gaming...

It isn't perfect, but if you want to stream PC games to your TV the NZXT Doko does a good job for sensible money.

Plenty of people, including us avid gamers at PC Advisor, got pretty excited when Steam boxes were announced . At last, we'd be able to hook up an unobtrusive PC to our TVs and play games from the comfort of our sofas, console style. Trouble is, they...

The DOKO is pretty, sleek and nifty in concept, but that's about it. It doesn't perform worth a Mac and everything done on it has at least some lag and we put it to the test on a couple of different machines, one of them a gaming beast. No matter what I...

What took center stage at famed case manufacturer NZXT's suite at CES 2015 was not a chassis or even enclosure related but a small device barely larger than a 120mm fan. This device, dubbed the “DOKO” was unlike anything NZXT has offered before, aiming...

NZXT's Doko has an MSRP of $99.99 and can be purchased in the UK for around £95. At present the Doko faces no direct competition but the soon-to-be-released Razer Forge TV is waiting in the wings with the promise of enhanced gaming performance, WiFi...

So to close things up, we have to say that overall we were very pleased with the DOKO and its capabilities. If you add in the fact of the price tag of $99.99 this is a very usable device or even a media PC replacement for your living...

PriceThe NZXT DOKO is currently available from the NZXT Armory for $99.99 in the US right now. It can also be pre-ordered in the UK from Scan.co.uk for £95.99, although I suspect that price may lower after the official UK launch on March 19th (2015)....

The NZXT DOKO is a very difficult device to categorize, by itself it is simply useless ans it must be used with a host PC. This places it at a clear disadvantage with many other devices like the Google Chromecast and other SMART TV devices/ functions....

By MadShrimps on February 16, 2015

Time to wrap things up guys! We would first like to say that we were quite impressed by the DOKO and what it can do, considering that it is very easy to set up and no special settings must be configured via software in order to get things done. On our...
