Rendering a truly immersive virtual reality experience takes a lot of computing and graphical power, which is why most virtual reality headsets require high-end hardware. However, there is a growing market that combines high-end hardware with mobility all crammed into a backpack. Zotac recently unveiled its own entry into this market, a small form factor portable computer that is VR-ready.

Dubbed simply as VR GO, Zotac's newest creation packs a lot of power in a tiny build that could easily fit into a typical backpack.

In a statement acquired by Forbes, Zotac International chief executive officer Tony Wong said, "We want to provide the best of both worlds to our users: Powerful VR in high resolution and fast framerates while enjoying true mobile in a compact, wearable form."

Powering the Zotac VR GO is an Intel Core i7 6700T processor. Handling the graphical requirement is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. The Intel Skylake processor partnered with a Pascal-based graphics card means that the VR GO should be able to run most virtual reality applications for both the HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift headsets.

The Zotac VR GO has 16GB of DDR4 memory and 240GB M.2 solid state drive for storage purposes. The memory can be upgraded up to 32GB, and an optional 2.5" drive bay is also available for extra cost.

For its video output options, there are two HDMI 2.0 ports and two DisplayPort 1.3 ports. It has a Dual Gigabit LAN interface, Bluetooth 4.2 support, and six USB 3.0 ports, according to Beta News.

Zotac said that the VR GO would get some upgrade options in the future. Although the company did not specify which hardware can be upgraded, some said that it would most likely be the memory and storage options although there are some who hope that Zotac will offer upgrade options for the computer's video card.
