Ah. I didn't notice the H part. Good eye. Even though 65W is seen as high for some of the Ryzen CPU's, that's still probably too much to compete with Intel's 45W mobile CPU's. Ryzen mobile hasn't been great until the recent 4000 Series, and those are just hitting the market, so maybe we could see a few of those CPU's in Zbox's sometime this year. More likely next year though as most companies have waited at least a year to let AMD products prove themselves before jumping on board.

Your initial point was solid. I thought most mini PC's were still considered desktops, especially considering the RTX 2080 here. My mistake.

Same here.  I saw the RTX 2080 and thought, "Desktop GPU...likely desktop CPU as well." Makes me wonder if the RTX 2080 is the mobile variant or not.  I can't fine it specifically listed though.

Nothing official anyway. I skimmed a few reviews and found other ZBox versions and the 1080 and 2080 models are either mobile or the "desktop laptop version" apparently. Whatever that means exactly. Max Q perhaps? They did mention the desktop GPU version is upgradable though.

Doesn't really matter. Even though the Intel H part details were there, I missed them. I would have checked more closely if I knew the 2080 was mobile though. Should have paid more attention regardless. 

Either way, I wouldn't buy this, no matter the exact specs, lol.
