... lol Intel is doing good work advertising for AMD at this price xD

[jadenpereira]

Imagine if Amd made this but with the 4900hs

Pricing has become a huge issue for computer products and its comforting to see at least one tech reviewer talk about it. Thanks Hardware Canucks for being as unbiased as you can and not being afraid to point out the faults in a product unlike some other tech reviewers.

Good video Ebert. I like that little system and I am glad you all reviewed it. Yes it’s expensive but when has anything from Intel been inexpensive?

[cesarcortes]

Great video, simple straight to the points and presented nicely. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what is the "blue" wallpaper that comes up at the start of the ad?

[FrankB]

Holy shit you guys have grown, I hadn't checked the sub count in ages and last time was like 45k LMAO keep on rockin!

Can this support rtx 2080? Bcs in their own website, they just go upto a 2070. Im assuming the psu wont be able to handle the gpu, or it couod get too hot?

[miagi]

My god he is such a huge guy, even a PC case looks small in his hands D:

[christiaanolivierhenriques]

could you please tell me which headset is the best one that can wirrles with pc ps and phone? I don't want a cable.

[ivanbogdaue]

What is the point of drop in replacement when you need to change the whole compute element which is 75% of the NUC price??? Soldered CPU???

[nbrikha]

$1700 dollars for a 8 core PC with no GPU? Is this 2015?

[skyirwin]

Hard pass for me. I don't need overpriced, proprietary hardware from Intel. They are trying too hard to be like Apple.

[JarrodsTech]

Weird about releasing it now with 9th gen 🤔

[maximus]

What is a good pre-built mini itx or small form factor PC that won't cost an arm and a leg? Do they exist?

[RyanHannaMusic]

would one of these be capable of running obs with 3 or 4 1080p cameras to either record a live multi camera edit straight to the hard drive, or stream to youtube, or both simultaneously? its not for gaming, it would only be running obs and mixing cameras and audio with some basic overlays

I have a mouse question rn im using the rival 310 and want to upgrade to a newer mouse any recommendations

[FlyingBuzz]

Thanks for reviewing this product, I been trying to figure out how good is a nuc for a while since I first saw it announced. The size is amazing but the specs are not. I knew it was going to be similar to gaming laptop but in a desktop form.
