In addition tom their Xi3 Piston Steam mini PC unveiled at CES last week, Xi3 has also taken the wraps of its new Xi3 Z3RO Pro Mini PC, which has been designed to change the face of desktop computing.

The latest Xi3 Z3RO Pro Mini PC is equipped with a 64-bit, x86-based dual-core processor running at 1.65GHz (with 2MB of Level2 Cache), supported by 4GB of DDR3 RAM.

The Xi3 Z3RO Pro Mini PC can also be fitted with 16GB to 1TB of internal solid state disk (SSD) storage, and its graphics are provided by an  integrated graphics processor (GPU) containing 80 graphics cores (or shaders).

"The Z3RO Pro Computer is the ideal size for the ultimate in small form factor x86-based general computing,” said Jason A. Sullivan , founder, President and CEO. "In this post-PC era, it’s clear that there’s no reason to buy a tower or mini-tower computer ever again. Not only does the Z3RO Pro Computer help round out the Xi3 product line, it also marks the end of desktop computing as we’ve known it.” – "Z3RO Pro Computers operate at 15Watts of power, ship standard with openSUSE Linux v11.2, but will also run an array of other x86-based Operating Systems, including Windows 8 and lower, UNIX, other Linux variants, etc.”

The Xi3 Z3RO Pro mini computer will start shipping in the Second Quarter of 2013 but is already available to pre-order directly from Xi3 starting at $399
