Zotac Nano XS AD13 Plus

The miniest of mini PCs, the Zotac Nano XS AD13 occupies less space than the cables you’ll be plugging into it. Performance is merely adequate in numerical terms, but highly impressive when you consider the PCs tiny dimensions. Excellent connectivity options are provided, but Wi-Fi comes via an external bundled adaptor.

The four-inch-square AD13 Plus, a refresh of last year’s AD12 Plus, performs quiet, low-key HTPC duties on a budget. The only catch: You supply the OS and peripherals....

It’s a very fluid small nano PC that has all the capabilities one would want in a daily driver for checking email, playing Facebook games or even watching 1080P movies in the living room.

One is unlikely to regret purchasing a unit as long as the drawbacks outlined in this review are well understood. The ZBOX Nano XS AD13 Plus has an MSRP of $315. That’s a very fair price considering the hardware and accessories included with the system.
