ZOTAC has announced that the ZBOX pico PI430AJ with AirJet is now available for purchase in select regions in both Windows and Barebone configurations. Described by the manufacturer as being the world’s first solid-state active cooled mini PC, this is an ultra-compact system that features Frore’s unique AirJet Mini Modules for removing heat silently through rapid airflow, enabling an extremely quiet system that is only audible “when put against one’s ear.” An Intel Core i3-N300 processor, 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory, M.2 NVMe storage slot, and more can be found in the system, which measures only as big as a deck of cards.

First debuted at COMPUTEX 2023, the ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet is the first product of its kind to feature revolutionary Solid-State Active Cooling technology. With each unit featuring two AirJet Mini Modules by Frore Systems, these thin, silent modules are capable of removing significant heat through rapid airflow, raising the ZBOX PI430AJ’s thermal ceiling without compromising its form factor.
Taking advantage of the newfound possibilities enabled by the AirJet, the ZBOX PI430AJ is equipped with an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB LPDDR5 memory, M.2 SSD storage slot, and more — all within a system the size of a deck of cards.
With no fans or other moving parts, the PI430AJ’s active cooling module operates so quietly that it is only audible when put against one’s ear. Plus, the increased cooling capacity makes it possible to achieve a stronger and more sustained performance, even with a more robust CPU inside.
The solid-state design of the system also implies minimal wear and tear over time, further increasing its stability, reliability, and robustness. The design is also dust-proof, making it possible to sustain its operation in harsher environments.
Although small, the ZBOX PI430AJ with AirJet has a well-rounded selection of connectivity options for peripheral needs. It includes a USB Type-C port and two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, HDMI and DisplayPort display outputs, a full-sized Gigabit LAN port, Bluetooth 5.2, and WiFi 6 wireless connectivity options.
