WiFi 7 is supported with a compatible router, which can utilize multiple bands for better throughput, and works best for heavy streaming or dense smart home configurations. It has Bluetooth 5.4 built-in. Our tested sample came bundled with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
The Z2 SFF G1i measures 12 inches wide by 4 inches high by 12.7 inches deep.
