After spending the best part of a week with the NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK, it's fair to conclude that we've been mightily impressed. For such a compact unit, we have a very capable machine which is able to deliver solid all-round performance.Fusing together the l...
Good ports selection, Still relatively small, Well suited to high-quality HD gaming, Three-year warranty
Expensive as a barebones, Massive PSU
The Intel NUC has historically done well as an expensive mini PC whose main remit is to provide a good everyday PC experience without, understandably, being any good at gaming. The latest iteration, dubbed Hades Canyon, attempts to change that mindset by...

Abstract: The Hades Canyon Intel NUC is the first machine we've had the opportunity to properly test that bears the fruits of the unholy union between Intel's CPU cores and AMD's graphics silicon, the Intel Kaby Lake G. But, while it's far more powerful that any N...

Abstract: After Intel's very bad last few months and AMD's very good last few months, it seemed awfully confusing that the two rival CPU makers would team up for a new chip. Sure it was all good for AMD—who is riding high on the success of its new Ryzen CPUs and V...
Strong processor benchmarks, Excellent game performance, Incredible connectivity, Stays cool and quiet under load
Not the best value, Hard drive, RAM, and OS sold separately
Yes, if you're a hardware geek.Hades Canyon fills a wonderful niche. If you're willing to slap in a hard drive and RAM yourself, this NUC will prove an outstanding compact gaming PC. If that's not you, don't worry. We're sure the Core i7-8809G will appear...
Good 1080p gaming performance, Good application performance, Unlocked multipliers

The Intel Hades Canyon NUC is the company's most impressive mini PC yet, capable of playing most modern games with ease and offering plenty of performance for everyday computing. And, that's all without the help of an external GPU, unlike the previous Sku...
Abstract: Intel kick-started a form-factor revolution in the early 2010s with the introduction of the ultra-compact NUCs. The systems were meant to be an alternative to the tower desktops used in many applications where the size, shape, and the system capabilities...

Compact and quiet-running, Excellent overall CPU and GPU performance, AMD Vega graphics are VR-ready, Bristling with connectivity for its size, Dual M.2 slots, VESA-mountable chassis,
Steep price, once you factor in all components, Large external power adapter, No 2.5-inch bay
Intel Core i7 processing and AMD Vega graphics power meet in the Intel NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK, a super-slim bare-bones desktop that packs punchy, VR-ready performance and extraordinary connectivity...
Man even just reading back through everything is a lot to take in. What it comes down too is the Hades Canyon NUC, especially the NUC8i7HVK model that I tested here, is a unique beast. Both because AMD and Intel can both be found in this one and becau...
