All Specs If you're looking for a small, unassuming, yet surprisingly powerful mini PC to hide some gaming prowess in your living room (or, yawn, provide a new level of horsepower for your 8K corporate signage), the Intel NUC 11 Enthusiast Kit (NUC11PHKi7C) could be the petite desktop for you. This NUC, while not the most powerful we've ever tested, punches well above its size class, walking that fine line between bulk and brawn with finesse. Among mini PCs, it's in a class by itself if you need both serious discrete-GPU power and exceptionally flexible display output in a PC that's barely there. Just mind the total cost of components and OS if you go the kit route. (You can buy it as the $1,075 bare-bones model tested here, or as a slightly costlier preconfigured unit.) Either way, it's a dynamo and our new Editors' Choice pick for power-user mini PCs.
