ZOTAC has introduced the MAGNUS EN275060TC, a remarkably compact barebone Mini-PC with a volume of just 2.65 liters, claimed to be the world’s smallest system equipped with a desktop-class GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU featuring 16GB of GDDR7 memory. This powerhouse is driven by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor from the Arrow Lake series, boasting 20 cores in an 8P + 12E configuration, which is soldered onto the board and thus non-upgradable.

The system supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, either DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM or DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, and includes two M.2 slots compatible with PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA SSDs for storage. Delivering up to 792 AI TOPs, it’s optimized for demanding tasks like gaming, content creation, virtual reality, localized AI applications, and seamless compatibility with Windows 11. On the connectivity front, it offers dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a UHS-II SDXC card reader, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports at 10Gbps, dual 2.5Gbit Ethernet LAN, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4, along with support for up to four displays. Its slim profile measures only 62.2mm (2.45 inches) in height, making it wall-mountable and ideal for space-constrained environments, while incorporating high-end desktop components in a form factor similar to the Gigabyte AORUS AI BOX that also uses the RTX 5060 Ti, though it has less memory capacity compared to some AMD Strix Halo-based mini PCs but superior expandability options. Performance is touted as exceptional for gaming thanks to the combination of a near-flagship CPU and desktop GPU.
The PC is available in barebone configurations where users must add their own RAM and storage, or preconfigured models with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD, currently listed as “coming soon” in various retailers with prices exceeding 1700 EUR, presenting it as a more budget-friendly option relative to higher-end alternatives like the ASUS ROG NUC 2025 series with varying GPU choices.
