[DarkFireMario100001]

thumbs up you got here by linus's channel.

[crysistec]

whean did u got mariyed

[majorgibly]

Will it play skyrim?

[punkkerboyzz]

@majorgibly no

[majorgibly]

@punkkerboyzz It was a sarcastic comment.

[FEAR6655]

@majorgibly Yes it will actually.

[zamraqayum]

I want one it's better than the the mac mini

[ChangingFormalities]

1:30 oh its that thing that show syou how to plug the thing into.. the other... thing.

[MrDudefingerboard]

you nerd

[dave41222]

where the video of this running XBMC and playing some 1080p content

[alukardFE]

wow amazing

[jeffrly1]

They need to make a tiny Llano box.

[gaming1chair]

Imagine what computers this size in the future will do and now because of those ports I would need at least 2 of my 6port USB 3 hubs

[awesomereece123]

@gaming1chair We'll have i7 3960X's in computers this size in the future xD

[Gr8rThenU]

@gaming1chair The only problem is cooling :/ how are we going to keep these PC's cool without a HSF unless they come up with something pronto guess computers will stay around the same size

[rkh255]

@LinusTechTips what software do you use to play 1080p content on a apu because vlc lags with it.

[1foolishguy]

I meant no Netflix hd on this

[1foolishguy]

Still can't play Netflix had

[jurassic512]

hahaha this costs as much as ONE of my video cards... I want this so bad. if the reviews pan out, Zotac has outdone themselves.

[JKNProductions1212]

that is a lot cheaper than the Mac Mini

[matt56037]

Very impressive! The only thing I can think of that it's missing is a TV tuner. Of course, the majority of us LinusTechTips viewers could build better computers for the same $250 :)

[molotovcobra]

so,

USB 3.0

ESATA

SPDIF

HDMI

DVI

smaller and half the price of a mac mini

[alexdreamzz]

Linus your tight ass wants me to bring merry christmas to it

[legoman3342]

@alexdreamzz what the fuck??

[hghwat]

@alexdreamzz wha.... he never shows his back or anything below his waist on this video

[RavenDragonfire]

@hghwat I heard he doesn't ware pants when he at home.

[Bierkameel]

No optical sound output, that sucks, I don't want to run HDMI to my receiver, just to the TV and sound by a optical cable.

[matt56037]

@Bierkameel USB sound cards are cheap.

[LaoKidcR]

.wmv! motherofgod.jpg

[Martinx88813]

Cool very cool...

[Dastgeer]

this one looks awesome

[RichiSkaro]

This will be great for Computer Laboratories in schools, as long as they keep them closed and with control of who enters at what point, I find it hard anyone will steal one without getting caught.

[dubswagen]

Wicked!

[theylikesthebutters]

I have heard of Blu-ray, but not Blue ray. Is this Blue ray a new media format?

[shaolindreams]

i quite like ut but the question is.. will it blend? :p

[JohanRolwen]

OMG you talk a lot and you say nothing.

[balisticjoe]

Does it come in a A-8 flavor? and with a DVD Burner. If they made one with that it would be epic.

[yotchsy]

I would use a HOME MEDIA CENTER with XBMC

[Emb3dStudios]

That looks smaller then my graphics car.

[PunctualProletariat]

so cuuuteee!

[Amaroqdricaldari]

Once the GTX 690 and Radeon HD 7990 come out, I will somehow convince MSI to make a new Fuzion Motherboard, that way I can put the two graphics cards in the same system and watch them try to metaphorically 'fight to the death'.

[allard61]

Should of bought a macintosh

[jorn89]

Looks good

[v0ldemort1]

After he says "AMD" i turner it off, amd = waste of time

[jaicou]

@v0ldemort1 WATS SOO BAD ABOUT AMD

[ShotgunShelly24]

@v0ldemort1 really, whats so bad about AMD?

[QQuaeE]

@v0ldemort1 and Intel = waste of money

[Amaroqdricaldari]

@v0ldemort1 Either you are an Nvidia Fanboy or an Intel Fanboy. Hard to tell, but you're probably both.

[chronofusion]

nice product. good vids as always Linus. cheers

[Thorh13]

TY FOR LINKS :)!!!!!!!!!!

[jwg811]

Is this guy gay?

[123321theunknown]

@jwg811 no, he has a wife... even if he was, so what! he is awesome

[TheLegitPat]

@jwg811 no but you are.. ;)

[Matticitt]

Here is the thing that plugs into that thing and than plugs into the other thing right there !

[evilhamsters08]

I feel I know next to nothing about simple computer parts, but can I use the harddrive and ram from my old Lenovo laptop?

[rafety85]

@evilhamsters08 if the laptop was purchased in the last 5 years or so you should be able to use the hard drive in it if it is a sata drive. If you bought it within the last year or two you might also be able to use the ram if it is ddr3. If not you can buy a 4GB stick of ddr3 laptop ram for about 20 dollars, while 2GB sticks go for around 10 dollars on newegg.com

[WhatThePopp]

Will minecraft work on this?

[Niemtol2]

@WhatThePopp Yes.

[RiverRockFilms]

@WhatThePopp no, in my opinion I don't think it will. I could be wrong though. if your playing on a far view distance it actually can be kind of stressing on your PC.

[infrinous19]

all it needs is a slot loading bluray

[Raven1180]

Cool little box of tech

[king65462]

oh it has intergrated infred oh wait it has a usb dongle so between this thing that thing and that thing it has wifi ir port and bluetooth linus is so fuckin stupid do your damn research idioy before u make a ass outta yourself

[iShawnMichaels]

@king65462 you are retarded

i would like to see you try to do some reviews yourself

[jonniemexico]

@king65462 Get an education before trying to slam people on the internet.

[Saivitron1]

corre crysis?

[Carsenator]

great for blue ray... oh wait it doesn't have a blue ray disk reader :( FAIL!!

[IGiantEnemySquirrel]

@Carsenator Blue ray is overrated

[Ruzlier]

@Carsenator Pirate blue ray movies. Herp Derp.

[shinyfuzzy]

wow my school blocks ncix.com as "spam" (._.).,!,.

[nerdyrcdriver]

@shinyfuzzy canadian website would be your problem if you are in the usa. 

[shinyfuzzy]

@nerdyrcdriver i am. our school has a filter on everything and its sooo bad

[nerdyrcdriver]

@shinyfuzzy Yeah, school filters are tough. It is kind of stupid bc our school network is so locked down, but I was able to host a lan over it (with school computers) and a former student (in college now) that I know got 500gb of pirated movies on one of the district servers (not to mention the tech guy in charge of the network fired). But now they set up a student wifi network that is open and almost nothing is blocked.

[shinyfuzzy]

@nerdyrcdriver It's nice that they unblocked sites at your school. They took youtube off the no fly list of websites and thats all i do it study hall lol.

IDK what a LAN server is :/

[DcQua]

hahaha it's better than my pc -.-

[Fekillix]

@LinusTechTips Hi Linus! How many Volts does it take (input from PSU) I might use this with a solar panel system.

[KleinWalke]

what abour keyboard and my mouse?

[iSeiren]

@KleinWalke Bluetooth all in one keyboard/mouse. You can also use the included remote.

[KleinWalke]

@iSeiren ok thx dude

so i think its something 4 me to go on a Minecraft LAN!!!!

[nintendonick]

All the insecure faggots that hate apple. Lol

[eventfularse]

@nintendonick For good reason.

[laundryman200]

How the hell does this thing work with my TV????

[SargeantKupkake]

@laundryman200 With a cable

[nintendonick]

Lmao

[rupluttaja]

thats cuuute

[MASTRCHIEFMOE]

can u do very light gaming on it?

[pipinhot2]

Add an extra inch on top for a blu-ray player, and i would be buying one for the living room.

[OutrageSC]

Cute 3

[keristerzt]

I want your T-Shirt man!

So now I'm more understand about what's AMD scheme about APU, small factor which also GPU implemented ondie, bravo! now we get less in size for a MediaBox

[Torrents2573]

I would love to have one of this at home. cool video

[taeke18]

cmon open it!!!

[LKxDESIGN]

pretty cool.

[xDjAsOnF]

if you drop it, its going to get fucked over

[swans2k7]

Alooominum.

[spv07patric]

Does it have ring of death? :>

[Dewnby]

.wmv

[shaawin95]

Imagine overclocking that baby.........shiiiiiit.

[muninen]

@shaawin95 I'm imagining it.. i see... i see overheated hardware.

[BassPounderX]

why is there always 1 dislike on linus videos

[youbemoredead]

Allmost no one noticed that STARWARS T-SHIRT because of the cool little "thing" as others here said :D

[stalker7d7]

The funny thing is that it can probly run games better than an xbox 360 or ps3...

[TheUnPlayable]

@stalker7d7 No way

[cyrax1311]

@stalker7d7 probably? lmao it would rape this generations consoles! :P

[xPhanrisalx]

@stalker7d7 no it can't

[racenuke]

@stalker7d7 nope, you can't, graphics card is weak sauce

[CyberMcRock]

@stalker7d7 Lol, sad but true

[Niqbal87]

@stalker7d7 games are unique to each platform some games on the ps3 are unmatched to pc games in terms of story and graphics just look at the god of war series or the uncharted series or heavy rain and some pc games are better but theres no need to be a douche about it

[utubeb14]

@stalker7d7 No., Thanks for making PC games look like idiots.

[joeyf504327]

@stalker7d7 uh dude the Xbox 360 has an IBM triple core running @ 3.2ghz which is wayyyyy better than that crappy apu

[Ri1seAgainst]

@joeyf504327 it has two actually

[joeyf504327]

@Ri1seAgainst wait.. the xbox has got 2 triple cores with low temp suater?

[stalker7d7]

@joeyf504327 doesn't matter.

Xbox360 IBM "Xenon" (Triple core) 19,200 MIPS at 3.2 GHz

AMD E-350 (Dual core) 10,000 MIPS at 1.6 GHz

I guess you're right that the xbox is technically faster. But if you put a decent processor in the box, then it surely would beat out the xbox.

[joeyf504327]

@stalker7d7 yeah microsoft is starting to tread on thin ice with thier xbox, it has slightly better graphics than the ps3 but the ps3 runs so much cooler and faster(in my opinoin) although im fed up with mocrosoft and hate sony products both systems are fun but yeah, comps will soon out perform them for less than $300 so they better come up with something new, especially Nintendo the wii graphics such beyond sillyness

[leafbob1]

@stalker7d7 no they are surprisingly quite alot faster Intel xenon 3.2Ghz triple core processor .. video card is an ATI card designed for it the "Xenos" but only has 512MB of GDDR5. the graphics card is probably around the same as what is in the Zotac but the Xbox 360 would win if put to the test as for the PS3 the specs are around the sameas the Xbox.

[Amaroqdricaldari]

@stalker7d7 I'm no AMD fanboy, but since they make good hardware (and helped design the Wii and XBox 360 internal hardware), I actually suggested to them that they make their own console. This may not be officially from AMD, but it looks like it will come close.

Btw, the PS3 has an 8-Core Processor and Nvidia Graphics. I am not sure about the Graphics Part, but this thing will never outperform the PS3 CPU-wise.

[fagoatse]

@Amaroqdricaldari Not really, ps3 cpu (cell) is quite slow. It has one core and 7 SPUs clocked 3.2 GHz.

[DotsOnALine]

@Amaroqdricaldari The Ps3 has 1 core and 7 SPEs. Not 8 real cores....

[Amaroqdricaldari]

@DotsOnALine Last I checked it WAS 8 real cores. I looked up the Cell Processor on Google, Wikipedia, and other sources.

But then again, you might have accidentally looked at the PS3 Slim's processor. I don't know for sure, but nearly everything about the PS3 Slim sucks compared to the old PS3.

[DotsOnALine]

@Amaroqdricaldari No, its 1 core and 7 SPEs, it has always been that way. You can debate that the 7 SPEs are cores but they are not.

[yotchsy]

@stalker7d7

F^^^^U you ps3 hater!

however, you may be right.. lol

[markothevrba]

I was like yeah, I might get this thing, then I saw the price :]

[WeakSet]

.wmv?

[Umbra360]

@WeakSet nope.avi

*trollface*

[marcelobos]

on a serious topic: how does this compare to a mac mini? (other than price)

[sweetypie000]

attach a motorbike battery, a webcam and that zotac to a small saddle and mount it on a Bengal kitten and have a great live kitty internet cam

[ShadowwwLFS]

@sweetypie000 >motorbike battery

>lead-acid battery

That kitten will die of overloading it's neck/spine. Li-Po would be only way to go in this case.

[cruzader0]

@sweetypie000 a pussy cam? O_o

[youtubasoarus]

That thing is tiny! Wow. And aluminum is surprising for that segment as well as the nice remote and VESA kit. Impressive stuff Zotac.

[HLM190586]

My new torrent box

[ssasthan]

WoW Very sexy ...... Good Design cool ......

[PirateKing1256]

How about just buy a laptop?

[garudaeagle3]

@PirateKing1256 Its not made for portability and is much cheaper ( < $300 ).

[gisforjesus]

I used to make jokes about getting an arrow to the knee... But then I took a vagina to the penis.

[greysmoke321]

how do you get windows on this machine? do you have to use a external usb optical drive? I don't like how you have to shell out more cash for a windows OS, ram, and internal hdd to get this machine functioning ;(

[greysmoke321]

I like your starwars shirt :)

[greysmoke321]

sweet machine reminds me of a mac mini. neat to see a pc like a mac in formfactor. I'd rather have a mac mini as it is sexier, has no powerbrick and can run windows if one so chooses.

[2000pcman]

.wmv

[fknDemo]

Dear Linus.. Send me 2 awesome GPUs and a nice motherboard, or i'll kill myself :)

Thx

[TechTalkinTurtlez]

Oh hi their  304

[vierasniper]

But will it blend?

[crazyredneckwifknife]

@vierasniper But will you die?

[NictroT]

Geezuz... The arrow in the knee joke only took 2 weeks to get REALY old and lame! People, you must stop now. It is NOT funny anymore. I'm guessing 20% of youtubes comments right about now, is "arrow in the knee" jokes...

[yuzhuhiko]

@NictroT just use the comment search and you will get your answer ~

[ERR0R9O9]

O VA CLOK!

[fuzzjunky]

[Thakrulll]

Back To Karkand is live now!!! What are you guys doing here ? :)

[crazy88boss]

Let's talk about Crysis...

[Kenokke23]

so....is that the pocket size or just the anorexic version?

[nickwarr182]

Getting into the geek zone with XBMC.

I've got it running on my original Xbox.

[sahil1996]

You know you are a fanboy when the .wmv is there :P

[DBSpy1]

it used to be a full tower then it fell in love with Chuck Norris and shrunk.

[hikmaet]

water cooling part 2 or gtfo

[RawrNasha]

ok

Seriously

Stop with the arrow meme now

It was barely funny in the first place

[VividKris]

i came here for skyrim.

[IntensiveBytes]

Aaah.. The .wmv isn't removed from the title.. shows that we're the early viewers ;D

Thumbs up if you agree!

[Hitihori]

can you play skyrim on it?

[rooo1o]

@Hitihori No. Not decently.

[liquidHairSpray]

[TizocProductions]

First!!!

[IntensiveBytes]

@TizocProductions fail.

[playermatti]

Nice video as always. What do u think about this cpu AMD FX-6100, 6 Core, 3,3 GHz (Bulldozer) 95W - boxed ?

[Palillos1337]

@playermatti you're better off with a phenom ii processor over the fx series for now

[iGeeklander]

linus unboxes are always awkward somehow... he always got embarrassed with the product, funny; 

[brissmas]

yo

[PaperyPaper]

Jesus this thing looks awesome.

[Palillos1337]

wow that thing is cool.

[TheJustin574]

@shippyddip what's the deal with the "shot in the knee" jokes I see every where? Did I miss something? :)

[strmapeful]
