ZOTAC SFF ZBOX PI335 – Compact Powerhouse for Home and Office

The ZOTAC SFF ZBOX PI335 is a sleek, ultra‑compact mini‑PC that delivers robust performance in a footprint smaller than a paperback book. Designed around the Intel Celeron N3350 processor, it balances power efficiency with enough horsepower to handle everyday computing tasks, media playback, and light multitasking.

Processor & Performance

The heart of this mini‑PC is the Intel Celeron N3350 (Apollo Lake), a dual‑core processor running at a base frequency of 1.10 GHz with a turbo boost up to 2.40 GHz. Built on a 14 nm process, it supports Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology for brief bursts of extra speed when needed.

With 2 MB L2 cache, the N3350 delivers smooth performance for web browsing, document editing, and streaming. The processor is not upgradeable, but its integrated architecture ensures low power consumption and a thermal design power (TDP) of only 6 W.

Graphics & Display Support

The device features the Intel HD Graphics 500, an integrated GPU that supports up to 8 GB of shared memory. It can drive three displays simultaneously: one via HDMI 2.0, one via DisplayPort 1.2, and a third through the built‑in Ethernet port’s video output (if enabled). The HDMI port delivers full HD resolution, while DisplayPort offers higher refresh rates for gaming or professional use.

Memory & Storage

Equipped with 4 GB LPDDR3 SDRAM, the ZBOX PI335 can handle multiple applications without lag. The memory supports dual channels and speeds up to 1866–2400 MHz, ensuring efficient data transfer.

Storage is provided by a built‑in 32 GB eMMC flash drive. While not expandable via internal drives, the system includes an integrated microSD card reader, allowing users to expand storage up to 128 GB with compatible microSDHC or microSDXC cards.

Connectivity & Ports

The mini‑PC offers a comprehensive set of connectivity options:

• 1× HDMI 2.0 – Full HD video output.
• 1× DisplayPort 1.2 – High‑resolution, high‑refresh‑rate display support.
• 1× RJ‑45 Ethernet (Gigabit) – Fast wired networking.
• 2× USB 3.0 Type‑A – High‑speed data transfer for peripherals.
• 1× USB‑C 3.0 – Versatile connectivity, including power delivery and video output.
• 1× Headphone/Microphone combo jack – Audio input/output.
• Integrated card reader – Supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC.

Wireless & Bluetooth

The ZBOX PI335 includes IEEE 802.11ac Wi‑Fi for high‑speed wireless internet and Bluetooth 4.2 for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, or headphones.

Operating System & Software

The system ships with Windows 10 Home 64‑bit, pre‑installed and ready to use out of the box. The operating system is fully compatible with Intel’s suite of technologies, including Intel Quick Sync Video for accelerated video encoding/decoding.

Form Factor & Build

The ZBOX PI335 boasts a slim profile: 76 mm wide × 115 mm deep × 20.7 mm high. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for home theater setups, office workstations, or as an embedded solution in kiosks and digital signage.

A VESA mounting kit is included, allowing the device to be securely attached to a wall or monitor arm for a clean, space‑saving installation.

Power & Energy Efficiency

The unit comes with an AC adapter (included), and its low TDP of 6 W ensures minimal heat output. The system’s thermal design incorporates advanced monitoring technologies to maintain optimal operating temperatures, even under sustained workloads.

Security & Advanced Features

Intel’s security stack is fully supported: Intel® Identity Protection Technology, Intel® Secure Key, and Intel® AES New Instructions provide robust encryption and secure boot capabilities. The processor also supports Intel VT‑x with Extended Page Tables for virtualization, enabling lightweight virtual machines or sandboxed environments.

Use Cases & Applications

• Home Theater PC (HTPC) – Connect to a TV via HDMI and enjoy streaming services or media libraries.
• Office Workstation – Run productivity suites, email clients, and light multitasking with minimal footprint.
• Digital Signage & Kiosk – Deploy in retail or public spaces for information displays.
• Embedded Systems – Integrate into custom hardware projects thanks to its small size and VESA compatibility.

Summary

The ZOTAC SFF ZBOX PI335 delivers a balanced blend of performance, connectivity, and compact design. Powered by the Intel Celeron N3350, it offers efficient multitasking, solid graphics for media consumption, and versatile ports for peripheral integration—all within a sleek, space‑saving chassis.
