For creators, Apple’s reveal of the 2018 Mac mini in Brooklyn last month came highly🎃 anticipated. Not-so-hot-on-the-heels of the previous-generation, late 2014 Mac mini, this new machine was disappointing to both the hardcore and the budget conscious. At the base level, it sports a mere Intel Core i3 processor and costs $799, 60% more than the Core i5-equipped model from four years ago. So when a significantly more powerful machine goes on sale for a lower cost than the new Mac mini, 🧔you better know we’re going to highlight it.

Like the vast majority of its competitors, as part of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday game deals this year Newegg is running some killer discounts on a lot of its gaming hardware. With the latest Intel NUC (or Next Unit of Computing) mini PC, you can run not only every triple-A gam🍨e imaginable at bleeding edge graphics settings, but you can also hook up it up to a VR headset for 360 degrees of head-tracking fun. The Intel NUC8i7HVK with 8GB of RAM and 250GB of SSD storage space is just , 20% off its suggested retail price of $916.97.

Because this is normally a barebones kit, meaning it ships without storage and RAM, the fact of the matter is that this deal nets you a complete package. The Intel NUC itself is accompanied by a single stick of Corsair Vengeance series DDR4 RAM and a Western Digital Blue M.2 SATA 3 SSD. Although you do have to install the components yourself, doing so is as easy as removing a 🦂few screws and sliding in the RAM and SSD before replacing said screws. It shouldn’t take more tha🌳n 10 minutes for even the most novice of users.

Once everything is assembled, you’ll be able to leverage the powers of a 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-8809G processor, which encompasses AMD’s Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics. Benchmarks suggest you can get around 60fps in current blockbuster titles such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Battlefield 5 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at the highest graphics settings in 1080p, though more demanding titles like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin’s Creed Odyssey may require that you turn down some of the visual effects. Nonetheless, for a PC thatไ measures 10.8 inches long and less than 5 inches thick, that’s impressive enough. 

Comparatively, the cheapest Mac mini is going to set you back almost $70 more for an i3 processor and a fraction of the graphical oomph. If you want a mini PC that’s built for gaming as much as it is video production and design, the Intel NUC8i7HVK is a better bet. You'll want to ask fast, though, because this offer ends Monday, November 26.
