ZOTAC Zone (2024)

ZOTAC's first handheld leans on a clean, symmetrical layout with two full-speed USB4 Type-C ports positioned on the top and bottom edges, each supporting DisplayPort 1.4 video and USB Power Delivery 3.0 so either one can charge or drive a display. A UHS-II microSD reader expands the built-in NVMe storage, and a 3.5mm stereo jack handles wired audio. With no HDMI or USB-A onboard, a USB-C hub or dock is the route to legacy connections, and the dual placement makes docking easy in any orientation.

Notes & Compatibility

Both USB4 Type-C ports (top + bottom) support DisplayPort 1.4 video and Power Delivery 3.0. No built-in HDMI or USB-A. 7-inch AMOLED handheld powered by Ryzen 7 8840U. Either port charges, so a dock works whichever way up the Zone sits, and one USB4 cable can carry display, data and power at once. Reviewers report the Zone is picky about third-party USB-C chargers and refuses some outright, so keep the bundled adapter with it. The card reader is UHS-II, so a faster microSD card is worth the money here. With no HDMI and no USB-A on board, a USB-C hub or dock is the only route to a TV, a wired mouse or a USB stick.
