These NUCs are actually quite decent little systems. I built one out for my grandmother with a Samsung 750 SSD and then mounted it to the back of her systems monitor and it does everything she needs while being space saving.

That coffee lake came from filling up the bean canyon.

That Iris graphics and the new coffee lake cpus seem pretty decent for a NUC, if the price is right.

Depending on price, this would make a good plex server.

It sounds better than it is. The eDRAM is still a bottleneck. You'd be better off with a GTX 1030.

You can't fit a GTX 1030 into a NUC sized system though. That's the benefit. Its not meant for anything but light gaming and average user utilization.

Finally Hdmi 2.0. Hard to believe all previous (non Vega) NUCs didn't have HDMI 2.0…

All of the NUC7 models (Dawson Canyon, Baby Canyon) had HDMI 2.0a, and so did the NUC6i7KYK (Skull Canyon).
