US$150 cheaper than VORKE Official Store on AliExpress
Looks like a great alternative to Intel NUC Skull Canyon that I purchased few months ago and very happy with it. Not as small as most NUC liks PC but still very portable having sub A4 dimensions - (L x W x H): 19.00 x 25.20 x 5.10 cm.
Needs RAM, HDD, keyboard, mouse and monitor for a pretty decent machine.

Intel Core i7-6700HQ
VORKE V6 MINI PC is powered by the Intel Core i7-6700HQ, a quad-core processor based on the Skylake architecture. In addition to four CPU cores with Hyper-Threading clocked at 2.6 - 3.5 GHz, the chip also integrates an HD Graphics 530 GPU and a dual-channel DDR4-2133/DDR3L-1600 memory controller.
Nvidia GTX960M
An upper mid-range, DirectX 11-compatible graphics card, GeForce GTX 960M is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture and manufactured in 28 nm. The GTX 960M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1097 - 1202 MHz (Boost), besides the fact that it comes with a 4GB Video RAM.
Dual Channel DDR4, Maximum 32GB, Dual M.2 22*80 SSD
One of the check-off features of the i7-6700HQ-powered VORKE V6 is the support for dual-channel DDR4 memory, meaning that you can install 2*16GB DDR4 RAM stick to the host. On top of that, the 2 M.2 slots bring access to both HDD and SSD memory of unlimited size.
Dual Band WIFI
With support for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band, it can transmit higher amounts of data, and its naturally less congested.
For those who are not sure what a barebones is, this is a computer that requires some additional assembly and parts to make it work.
You'll need to buy and add in DDR4 memory and M.2 Solid state drive (altogether cost maybe $200~300) before it is functional.
