We took a closer look at the ZOTAC MAGNUS EN275060TC mini PC, which packs a desktop GeForce RTX 5060 Ti into a size that can be held in one hand.



When searching for a small mini PC, it's common to find a mini PC with a built-in graphics card, only to find that it's actually a low-performance laptop graphics card. The upcoming mini PC ' MAGNUS EN275060TC ' from ZOTAC is equipped with a desktop-sized '

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti ' instead of a laptop-sized one, and is said to deliver performance that exceeds that of PCs of the same size in games, creative tasks, AI processing, and more. I saw it at the Machi★Asobi event and it looked interesting, so I decided to borrow one and thoroughly test it out. First, let's take a closer look at the exterior and the ports it comes with.
