The Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico is an extremely compact and silent PC, but with its performance, it might have a hard time making it into the wish list of potential buyers. That processor offers four native cores and can also be cooled passively with its low power consumption. The competitors based on an Intel Celeron J4125 are able to achieve better results and give a better subjective impression in our tests. We also don't think that it is optimal to use a dual-core SoC nowadays. The system could use more working memory, which would also lower some latencies when opening various applications. With this, the Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico also has a hard time to keep up with the competitors. It will quickly become clear that there isn't much headroom for additional applications. With the Intel Celeron N6211, you get a dual-core processor, which in combination with 4 GB of RAM just barely fulfills the system requirements for Windows 11. The Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico is a tiny PC with a case volume of barely 0.18 Liters. The CPU is quickly utilized to 100%, resulting in a stuttering video reproduction. This means that we don't consider it to be usable as a streaming client. But nonetheless, the Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico has very significant problems when reproducing 4K video material. On the other hand, the competitors do even considerably worse in some parts here. In the DPC latencies, the Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico is also unable to convince us completely. As we already mentioned above, the transfer rates offered by the card reader are even lower. Alternatively, you can only use the SD card reader. For example, we were unable to get even a single successful run with PCMark 10, so we cannot give you any comparison values. However, the low amount of working memory causes problems from time to time. The built-in eMMC storage with 128 GB is sufficient and also offers space for some smaller applications to handle everyday tasks, in addition to the Windows installation. Unfortunately, latencies when opening various applications are part of everyday operation here. Subjectively, you can use the Zotac ZBOX PI336 pico for doing some work, if you give the system sufficient time. The system performance corresponds to the weak processor.
