ZOTAC Unveils a Mini-PC with a Desktop-Class RTX 5060 Ti GPU

ZOTAC has announced the MAGNUS EN275060TC mini-PC, a system that comes equipped with a desktop-class NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics card. With dimensions of 210 × 203 × 62.2 mm, it's one of the most compact solutions on the market to feature a full-power GPU—in fact, some external GPU enclosures are larger than this entire computer.

Despite its small footprint, it doesn't compromise on specs. Inside, you'll find a 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor and a discrete RTX 5060 Ti graphics card with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, providing enough muscle for a smooth gaming experience even with demanding titles.

The device is offered as a barebone kit, meaning it doesn't include RAM or storage. Users can install up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory and two high-speed SSDs, one of which supports the latest PCIe 5.0 standard. The system is loaded with modern connectivity options, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, and support for Wi-Fi 7. To save even more desk space, the mini-PC can be mounted on a wall.

For now, the mini-PC is available in limited quantities in select Asian countries, with an estimated price of $1,850—not including the cost of RAM and an SSD. There's no word yet on global availability or official pricing for other regions, but the product page is already live on the manufacturer's website.

ZOTAC is targeting users who value saving space but aren't willing to sacrifice discrete graphics performance and have the budget for it. This device carves out a niche between bulky gaming desktops and less powerful, more affordable compact systems. It's currently a solution strictly for those who prioritize a small form factor above all else, as a traditional desktop PC at the same price point would deliver significantly higher performance.

Meanwhile, other manufacturers are taking a different approach. Companies like XPlus, with their recently announced XRival 01 mini-PC featuring an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor and 96 GB of RAM, are focusing on powerful APUs. These integrated chips can often replace discrete graphics cards altogether and handle similar gaming scenarios with ease.
