Sure, here’s a reimagined version:

So, I’m at Computex 2025, and Zotac has this gadget—let’s call it a handheld thingy. Looks sleek though, with a 7-inch AMOLED screen. For those interested, yes, it’s got an AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 APU (whatever that means). And surprise! It’s running on Manjaro Linux instead of the usual Windows or SteamOS. Pretty wild, huh? Oh, and they’re calling it Zone 2 for now. Name could change—who knows?
Now, let’s backtrack a sec. Remember last year’s Zone 1? Rolled out in September, packed with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8840U. It’s been a minute, right? Zotac’s pace is like watching paint dry compared to others. They showed this new toy at CES back in January, and here it is again.
This Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 inside—12 cores, loads of jargon. Fast and pricy sounds about right? Memory-wise, you can grab 24 or 32 gigs LPDDR5x, plus a 1TB SSD that you can mess with yourself. My head’s spinning with the specs!
And the screen—1080p and all that jazz. It has a kickstand. Cool. Two touchpads, adjustable joysticks, some fancy radial dial too. Like, what doesn’t it have? Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 6—Valve fans might compare it to SteamOS. Oh, Proton too, for game stuff.
Battery life? Close to Zone 1, they say. Ports galore—USB4, microSD, 3.5mm jack. Wireless gets you WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. And on the back? There’s a mesh style (sounds like techie fashion) and some buttons.
Stay tuned for when this thing actually drops. Zotac hasn’t spilled the beans yet. And yep, follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News. They told me to say that. Maybe they’ll answer when we finally get to hold this in our hands!
