they are getting there slowly. I would love to go from a tower to a mini pc, but so far I haven't found a mini pc that can IPC/single core performance dust my 5900x desktop pc. I need to upgrade but im not gonna buy a mini pc that has a slower cpu then what I got now. Even the mini pc with the intel 13700 is slower because its power limited to 65 watts etc.
It would be interesting to see a video on how you guys deal with such blackouts. Batteries, generators, solar panels? And seeing more behind the scenes would be great too!
@@tusharkanwaria267yeah but idle power draw is a big deal for home labs. I use an 11th gen NUC and a NAS for a crazy efficient home server that can transcode multiple 4k videos.
Used NUCs for a couple of years. So here's a long story short - for internet browsing, reading, watching movies or even small network/nas server - it's more that required ! But for gaming ? Nope. Fan noise will make you crazy and games will slow down due to thermal throttling. Better buy those larges NUCs, if they are still named NUCs :) I wish they were built as Lego bricks - you replace GPU/CPU with a better one, every year etc etc. I know, won't be a cheap solution but how much fun it would give you !
Thats a mighty package. Wonder how it will do in a head to head performance comparison to apple silicon mac mini w/m2 pro (assuming there are people who's work flow can be transferred to macos)
We used a handful of NUCs at my company and at least half of them completely failed. They had memory compatibility issues, overheating issues and just general hardware failures.
I'm likely going to end up using something like this for my main PC in the future. Run a nice linux distro on it and then have a windows PC for gaming.
NUCs are thermally challenged and die a quick death when their tiny fans get choked with dust. But I'd love to have that configuration of drives and I/O in a properly cooled ITX case.
I'm actually considering getting a NUC will the on board graphics be enough to power Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom? I have a 13 year old desktop with a Pentium i7 from back in 2010 seeing your video is giving me the urge to upgrade. I'm not a gamer but I do do some photography and a wee bit of video.
I had one as my PLEX server, but had since been virtualized in my NAS when I upgraded the NAS. Now I have one as my retro arcade with a TB3 eGPU to a 1650
I work in animation as a storyboard revisionist and am using a phantom canyon nuc with a 2060 built into it. I had to get it because my mac pro from 2011 was rapidly becoming outdated and there was a part shortage. I honestly like it a lot. But I will be upgrading eventually
I don't understand. I do agree that NUC is great small form factor PC. It is powerful and is very power efficient. Same can be said about mac mini. You have said that the guy in video replaced his mac mini with NUC. But I did not get enough reasoning on why. Doesn't mac mini consume less power? Does NUC perform better at same TDP? Sorry if I question too much. I daily drive the 6800u powered handheld console, but was previously using the m1. I do enjoy the efficiency of recent hardware I want to know more about your findings.
Great for those that want to focus on good performance for work and want to game on a console. Accountants, data analysts, Python programmers, and office admins managing office supplies.
The pricing is extremely BAD. $999? No thanks. Who would seriously even consider this? Sure it's small but do people really need something this small that costs as much as a PC with a RTX 3060 ti? I would never make this consideration and I don't think most people would. This is a special case use situation type solution that is just not going to apply or appeal to many people. Probably more people than I would think but still, that number is going to be very very small.
I'm a 48yr Autistic husband and father of 2 my wife has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer I been wanting to stream my COD and Diablo 4 game play but I don't know we're to start
The Intel NUCs are fine for servers or desktop. NOT gaming. Xe graphics have not been updated in 4 Gens. This box will be smoked by any of the 7940hs mini PCs.
Holy cow! It's still just short of $1,000. No thanks. Only low spec needs justifies a mini PC in my opinion. The more power, the price goes up far too much. A desktop with the same specs would be much less, plus you can get a small case for space saving. I just don't think a super-powered mini PC is worth the price tag.
this is opposite of gaming. It's an office computer, or portable for travelling between 2 locations or one to connect to a TV. Gaming = with real dedicated videocard I assembled mine for less than $800 with i7-1360P, Ripjaws 32GB (2x16GB) & Samsung 980 Pro 2TB Just get a gaming laptop/desktop if you want gaming
I dont think this is a good product man. With all that power comes a lot of heat and i dont believe it to be quiet one bit. The cost is still higher than a pc a just built on pc part picker for 100 less and will crush this thing in performance while staying way cooler in temperatures.
rEpLaCe yOuR gAmInG cOmPuTeR. Super stupid title. While the NUC is a great computer for desktop and home server use, it's absolutely not nearly good enough to be a gamer PC.

The PC just became a console.
i will get ryzen 9 7940hs
Need a true phantom canyon successor
Opps! Page not found!
I really hope this is the way pc’s go. I’m tired of having huge towers. A powerful gaming pc I can throw in a backpack with ease would be ideal.

Yup, I live in Cape Town south africa. Me and my dad installed inverters and solar panels so we fully of the grid
and hijacks and rapes and cannibals
I have a previous NUC. Those machines are awesome. I have an external GPU with mine. Works great with games.
I've always been impressed by them.
How to install external GPU on NuC?
I love the conquest to bring amazing technology to these places that might not have it for a lot longer. This is a badass piece of technology
This would make a great home server, depending on your needs.
You have a lot of space at home might as well go for cheaper durable options
@@tusharkanwaria267yeah but idle power draw is a big deal for home labs. I use an 11th gen NUC and a NAS for a crazy efficient home server that can transcode multiple 4k videos.
Interesting and using a portable monitor could be a kind of portable workstation.
You sir are doing great

Would love this with AMD zen3 and RDNA3 SOC
So what you are saying.... I can save customers who have roach infestations with mini pc like this 😂
We used a handful of NUCs at my company and at least half of them completely failed. They had memory compatibility issues, overheating issues and just general hardware failures.
Which gen?
@@Xraj0076th and 7th gen if I remember right. Mostly 7th gen. I think we still have one or two hanging around. Another failed around 6 months ago.
I'm likely going to end up using something like this for my main PC in the future. Run a nice linux distro on it and then have a windows PC for gaming.
What will happen when Intel will lauch those meteorlake chips🤩🤩 in September 2023 with those powerful igpu and much more.
Those display outputs are usually paired, its hdmi or usb-c. So its 2 monitors, 4 needs to be confirmed and carefully checked.

Your 4K footage didn't had any adjustment layer loaded with visual effects.With all of that the rendering time could have doubled or 3x

How did it perform as Plex server?
@@CebrailErdogan awesome. It had a 4th gen i5 (dual core) and it transcoded 4-5 simultaneous streams (1080p max)

No way it does not sound like a vacuum cleaner at 65W. Even at 25W the fan will spin like crazy. I had a few NUCs before.
I’m confused. Are you saying it is quiet or sarcastically saying it’s louder than a vacuum cleaner
I read up on those on my egpu journey, I like 'em.
I don't understand.
I do agree that NUC is great small form factor PC. It is powerful and is very power efficient.
Same can be said about mac mini.

Why is 20960 so far from 21034 vs 21177 in that graph? Ridiculously skewed...
The Minisforum UM790 Pro ir probably my next computer.
Great for those that want to focus on good performance for work and want to game on a console. Accountants, data analysts, Python programmers, and office admins managing office supplies.
No thanks, I'll wait what AMD has to offer as their APU's are running circles around Intel.
Doesn’t the M1 Mac use a lot less power and it’s great that video editing.
but not as much support for GPUs and monitors right?
PLEASE HELP. Can't find the answer to this anywhere, does this mini pc support high refresh rate monitors like 1440p 144hz?
It obvious does.
Excellent rundown!
Minisforum maybe better?
Can the Intel nuc 13 pro do 4K 60 Plex server good ?
Thanks
Still not a Mac Mini killer for video editing + power efficiency.

Maybe you should get something like a "Jackery".
Got an extreme 13 with a 13700k and it has a dead PSU on arrival….after searching google it seems like it’s a very common issue
that's a sexy piece of work
How does the cpu cooles???
please review minisforum um790 pro.
Bigger pc still cheaper 😅
Rather get your team some solar panels. There is more than enough sunshine in South Africa.

Cool NUC!
I do love the small NUC girls, but only in a silent chassis, because their annoying fan is really nerve wrecking!
amd APU in mini pc box is way better for gaming
I’m sorry, but from a tech standpoint amd does better
The Intel NUCs are fine for servers or desktop. NOT gaming. Xe graphics have not been updated in 4 Gens. This box will be smoked by any of the 7940hs mini PCs.
How about playing World of Tanks?
but why genshin impact ? is it for reece? you guys knew about his gatcha addiction ?
I can but it cant game better then the radeon 780M graphics
Holy cow! It's still just short of $1,000. No thanks.

Cool tip ❤
the Mac mini is 700$ outperforms this 1k$ pc lol
Yeah no. Iris Xe is nowhere near where it needs to be. AMD IPU's are still the best bet in town for a mini gaming PC.
They need less cpu and more gpu.
Beelink AMD 👍
NUC INTEL 👎 It cant game 😕
Good video
Umm no maybe when intel can figure out graphics drivers. Until then hell no.
nice video
dont fall for these vids people the nuc does not replace pc this is a sales gim. nucs are junk and they know it.
Pc gaming is just dead at this point 😂
Nope.
bruh why are you still living in south africa....
