NUC's have really changed. I remember a couple generations ago they were just a tiny case with a motherboard. You bought (and installed) the cpu/ram/storage yourself. No room for a video card. No video card meant they were not targeted at gamers. But they were plenty powerful for everything except games.
These “…….Canyon” setups hav3 always been pricy. But tbh, for its size to performance ratio, it’s no surprise. But as a product, these are amazing. (I use Intel laptops and AMD pc’s for all my gaming setups) I personally have a love of SFF builds and this too I love 🥰🥰. The way of computing as I see it, down the road, the form factor etc of future builds due to a more efficient power requirement for their relative performance without the need of a massive pc case. Great review PCWorld 🥰👍🎉🤯.
As a SFF enthusiast and someone who has only used AMD I am very interested in the form factor of the cpu and the pcie cards The possibilities for small case design using those two components is a very interesting proposition.
I would prefer this to a gaming laptop if I want to play games in a motel. Recently I played on an MSI laptop with a 27” monitor, BT keyboard and corded mouse. I wanted a larger monitor than a 17” laptop monitor. I don’t care about batteries and paying a lot for bespoke solutions in a laptop. In summary something like a NUC is better for me than a 17” gaming laptop that makes too many sacrifices for portability that I don’t need. I don’t mind carrying a monitor, keyboard and mouse with me in the car. The laptop is better if you are taking the plane. I haven’t thought about the price but an Alienware can cost around $5000 or more. I already have the monitor so that is not a factor, so far I carry it in it’s own box but I might consider a small case for it.
All I want is a nuc/brix sized motherboard, with a full size pci-e for the gpu and naturally at least one nvme. Would be nice if it supported socketed cpus they can have a daughter board for some surface components if the size limitation would be too constrained, but if you have seen a brix/nux mobos then you know that it looks like it would be possible to do so, at least for 65W cpus. I mean m-itx is too large(been using it since 2011 so not that long) :P
I recently considered buying a small yet powerful PC for CPU video editing. However, with the glut of "new-in-box" prebuilt towers on eBay which had their GPU's removed, even the cheapest small PC's directly from China could neither compete on price nor performance. Though I am confident Intel's design, engineering, materials and build quality are all top notch, spending more money for less processing power is hard to justify. That said, in a post-mining world, NUC's will make a lot more sense in terms of price for performance.
I was horribly disappointed with the NUC 11 Extreme I had for 2 weeks. My favorite photo program that is over 10 years old, and I have had on 10 other computers with Windows 10 and 11, would not run. The benchmarks were terrible. The front USB ports rarely worked. Thank God for Amazon and I could return it. I have seen the hype for these units for years and it turned out to be garbage.
I thought Gordon was going to say, "Blow it out its butt," because that's what that fan shroud does. Interesting little PC, for sure. No surprise that it doesn't use an AMD video card, although I was sort of expecting one of Intel's new graphics cards.
I have a NUC8ithvk and thinking about buying one of these to upgrade. I've been loving the possibility of connecting my older NUC to my beloved Apple Thunderbolt Display via the 2 Thunderbolt3 ports. I see this computer also has two Thunderbolt4 ports...but will it let me connect my Apple monitor? And mostly, if it does, will I be able to use the dedicated gfx rtx with the display or it will only utilize the integrated intel graphics, since the thuinderbolt4 ports are behind the compute element and not the rtx (which only mounts HDMI and DP ports)? Thanks in advance
Great video A cool desing for sure, but at this size it's competing with the various Louqe Ghost etc. and you can fit a R9 5950X plus GPU in there... and upgrade it... and go crazy with whater cooling... honestly I don't get who this is for.
@@chriswilliams5133 Yeah, I can understand how Intel is targeting the bankers and hedge fund traders with an overpriced system that looks really cool on an office desk, but would this demographic even know they still need to buy and install RAM and SSD?
Hey @pcworld the closed captioning is a different timing (edit :not script as I initially typed) than the presented one. Just FYI in case you can fix it.

The cpu gets air intake from the back of the case and exhaust heat through the top.
Yep he said it backwards

Ya they have definitely got huge now. It was not even long ago they were just tiny little set top box size pcs
As Alaina said: You Might Be Better Off Building A SFF PC...
It is $1,500 to start with 8gb of Ram and a 256 Nvme. Ripoff.

No bad products, just bad prices. This is a bad price.

The PC on a PCIe card remind me of those PC compatibility cards that was for Mac in the 90s, they was pretty much a full on PC on a PCI card.

Intel put all their engineering and design into that outlandish container instead of the silicon😂
That's because they could actually make that work in less than ten years.
How about the Magnus One from Zotac? 10700 & 3070 in a 8L case

Logo looks like the zombie version of Captain America!!!!
It needs a $1,000 price cut.
It looks nice, but I was expecting a bit more from you Intel...
The older ones are very well priced right now for a small form factor PC.
Price have come down for NUC Beast. Its $1499 Cdn
Pisses me off they send reviewers the items like this then we get garbage cardboard. Waste of everyones time.
i know this sounds silly wouldn't the mini pc itx card be affected significantly by the pcie bandwidth compared to the mini itx mobo ?

Do these "nuc's" have TPM for win 11?

I am looking to build or acquire a few SFF PCs to get an esxi cluster going at home. This is gross overkill for that.
its not difficult to disasemble
I swear they do those extra nice reviewer kits to totally not influce there opinions and make it feel more premium or anything 😉
But where to buy the kit without simplyNUC’s pre assembled upsell?
where is the intel full video (mentioned here) on how to properly disassemble this machine?
Anyone else still nervous about the knife being so close to that computer lol
Great video

Its for me!!
This pc is for high volume stock & crypto traders.
Forget the computer, I want the box.
Might fit my 2080 TI XC in there.
Thanks Alaina
Thank you
Nice sir
Who buys these things??
@@chriswilliams5133 Yeah, I can understand how Intel is targeting the bankers and hedge fund traders with an overpriced system that looks really cool on an office desk, but would this demographic even know they still need to buy and install RAM and SSD?
10:28 Alright, what is this Ryzen 11900K 10C, 20T processor. lol
You heard it here first, zen 8 confirmed!
@@Mr_Stone1 Lol yup, and by that time it's probably "just" a Ryzen 3
OK, I'm trying to figure out the target customer here 😀
its Rather a wood coffin.... of intel
That presentation is so sleek. Wish they weren't so bla bla expensive in my area, I need a new computer any way
