Intel NUC Kit 7i3BNHX1 16GB Optane

In spite of its small dimensions, it has a number of hidden capabilities inside for a variety of uses. It will fit in perfectly at home - in the living room, perhaps - where it can be used to browse the Internet, consume multimedia, and even handle less demanding games. It is a versatile multimedia centre with good connectivity options.

Powerful mini computer

The Intel NUC 7i7BNHX1 (The Next Unit of Computing) is equipped with a powerful and very efficient Intel Core i3-7100U processor with the latest Kaby Lake architecture. Playing movies, viewing photos, or performing normal, everyday tasks is absolutely painless. Its full power consumption does not exceed 15W, so no excess heat is wasted and cooling down is very quiet. The processor supports Hyper-Threading technology, which allows it to function as if it were a quad-core. The Intel HD Graphics 620 are integrated.

Speed up loading times with Intel Optane

Intel's unique SSD is designed to improve computer speed. With its smaller capacity, it is able to provide faster access and better utilisation of frequently used data. By installing Intel Optane memory with 16GB of capacity, it will greatly speed up the operation, so searching for files and launching programs will be almost instantaneous.

Configurable packaging

The computer has a compact body and two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets ready for your choice of operating memory. It is also possible to connect a 2.5" hard drive. On top of all that, there is a built-in network card with a speed of up to 1Gb/sec. Connective features include a pair of USB 3.0 connectors on the front, one blue and one yellow, which are constantly powered. It can charge your smart phone even if your computer is turned off. Another two blue USB 3.0 ports are located on the back, along with the HDMI and Thunderbolt 3 ports, which serve as a USB-C 3.1 or DisplayPort.
