Source: Digitec GalaxusThe Zotac wins the sustainability rating because it is the only test candidate that allows the replacement of RAM and SSD and consumes very little power (14 watts). The built-in power-saving processor does not need a fan, but is also a weakness of the Zotac: its power is enough for Offce and Internet - but not more.
