Quadcore i76770HQ delivers snappy productivity performance in a 0.68L package. Solid connectivity options including Thunderbolt 3.0.
Integrated graphics still only good for casual gaming and external GPUs will be limited to PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth. Pricier, hotter and louder than rival units.
easy access to 2x SODIMM slots and 2x M.2 slots, plenty of ports; USB Type-C + Thunderbolt, very fast CPU performance, NVMe or RAID options, small and compact, good build quality, DDR4 RAM, IR sensor
very high core temperature when gaming or under extreme loads, not powerful enough for a dedicated gaming machine, loud fan noise when gaming, no internal 2.5-inch support
With marketing words like "Mini PC. Full-sized performance" used for the Skull Canyon NUC, buyers might get the wrong idea about the system. Its CPU power is indeed very impressive and as powerful as gaming notebooks worth twice the price of the NUC. Its...
Top Intel integrated graphics solution in a slim chassis, Swappable "skull" and "plain" lids, Dual M.2 SSD slots, supporting NVMe-capable SSDs, Support for emerging external graphics boxes via Thunderbolt 3 port

Small But Mighty Performance, Stylish And Cool Skull Design Cues, Quiet, Lower Power, Decent 1080p Gaming At Medium Quality
Pricey, HQ Game Settings Not Quite Attainable At 1080p For Many Titles
