>> Hey, what's up, guys? I'm Justin Yu,
associate editor with CNET.com with a first
look at the ZT Affinity 7334 MA desktop
computer. Now it's an excellent mid-range
system and easily recommended at $800 but
before we get into the components, let's
spend a second on the design, or lack
thereof. Now like many mid ranges made by
ZT, this one isn't gonna be winning any
beauty pageants anytime soon. Now that's
not to say that it's flat-out ugly, but the
plain black tower just looks really
generic. Now anyway, the front does give
you two USB ports, audio jacks, as well as
a media card reader and a blu-ray drive up
top here. Now that means you do have the
option of putting it in your living room if
you want to, and it's got HDMI, DVI and VGA
ports to go along with that. So ZT does
offer a great set of components in the
system including a 3 GHz AMD phenom II quad
core processor, 8 gigs of ram, an ATI
Radeon integrated graphics chip and 64 bit
windows. Now competitive systems do
include a dedicated 3-D video card, but
they have to sacrifice processing speeds to
keep it in the same price. Now speaking of
performance, we have to hand it to ZT for
turning out top-notch scores in all four of
our benchmark tests, mostly due to its 3
GHz clock speed. And the integrated video
actually cuts down on yearly energy costs.
Now you can find out all the details and
test results in our full review, but that's
gonna do it for me. I'm Justin Yu and you
just took a first look at the ZT Affinity
7334 MA mid-range desktop computer. Thanks
for watching.
