The best of the best, as chosen by the PCWorld editors.
We were thrilled to be highlighted in the PCWorld Best of 2023-24 list as the “Best innovation”. PC World have been following us since we first came out of stealth in December last year. We really appreciate their ongoing support. They are a really great team of really smart folks and we are so honored to be held in such high esteem by them.
We can’t improve on their comments in the article, so have included them in part below:
“Fresh new gear flew fast and furious this year, causing an avalanche of releases seemingly every time you blinked. PCWorld’s staff reviewed more PC hardware and software in 2023 than we have anytime in recent memory.
With such a gluttony of choice, it became harder than ever for PC hardware and software to impress us. Few products earned our rare Editors’ Choice award. And only the very best of the best grace this list.
Without further ado, this is the Best PC Hardware and Software of 2023, as chosen by PCWorld’s editors. Congratulations to the winners – with a field this crowded, they’ve definitely earned it.”
Best innovation: Frore Systems AirJet Mini inside the Zotac ZBOX pico PI430AJ
“When we first saw Frore Systems’ solid state active cooling module at CES, called AirJet Mini and AirJet Pro, we knew that this had a chance to truly revolutionize cooling in electronics. Without getting too deep into the specifics of how it works (watch our awesome lab tour for that), know that the AirJet uses MEMS technology, is far thinner than a traditional fan found in something like a laptop, but far outperforms it thanks to immense back pressure that just can’t be achieved with today’s thin fans.
In the months since that show we’ve seen a number of demos with various product categories. The release of the first product featuring this system comes from Zotac in the company’s ZBOX pico PI430AJ with AirJet. It’s going to take a lot to change an industry, but I’d love this technology to be commonplace in the future and continue to drive performance and cooling for our electronic devices for years to come. — Adam Patrick Murray”
Again, thanks PC World for the enthusiasm you’ve shown for AirJet… we appreciate it!
