Z83 has now a newer and more powerful version - Z83II.

Two years ago the thought of having powerful Mini PC's with Intel chipsets and running on Windows - all this below $100 - seemed far fetched.

But the market changed a lot since then, and now we have better and better Mini PC's below the $100 threshold, and Intel is not stopping here, so we'll have quite a few devices to write about this year.

The newest one is Z83. Powered by Intel® Atom™ x5-Z8300 (up to 1.84 Ghz), Z83 comes with Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and an activated Windows 10 Home (according to the comments section on Gearbest - BTW, you can use coupon code MCZ83 to get a better price).

Z83 Mini PC

The power button is placed a bit odd (on the back, next to the DC-in connector), but other than that the device looks good on paper.
