Newegg offers the Intel NUC 8 2.2GHz Mini PC (3CYSM1) for $379.99 shipped. Find it at Amazon for the same price. While B&H sells it for $640, it just dropped from $460 at Amazon. Today’s offer is $20 under our previous mention and a new Amazon all-time low. Intel’s latest iteration NUC sports 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive, alongside an eighth-generation Core i3 processor. That makes it one of the company’s most capable miniature computers yet. You’ll also find Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB 3.0 ports as well as two HDMI outputs included on the highly-customizable PC. Rated 4/5 stars and is well-reviewed, just like Intel’s previous generation models. More below.
Those looking for a more barebones alternative will be right at home with the Intel NUC 6 Essential Kit at $280. It lacks any built-in memory or storage, meaning you’ll have to supply your own hard drive and RAM. But if you already have the needed components, or have a different end result in mind than the NUC 8, it’s a more affordable way to get started.
