Great price for the Intel NUC 11 Enthusiast Mini PC Kit. I believe this is a new all time low price.

I've had one of these for sometime and it's relatively quiet under full load due to the beefed up cooling system with a large heat sink and dual blower fans.

Note: This is a barebones PC and you will need to supply your own RAM and SSD.

Specs:

  • Core i7-1165G7 quad-core up to 4.70 GHz
  • 2x DDR4 SODIMM slots
  • 2x M.2 PCIe 3.0 slots
  • Nvidia RTX 2060 w/ 6GB VRAM - Max-P (max-performance) variant @ 115W
  • 2.5GbE, WiFi 6, BT 5
  • HDMI 4K, miniDP 4K, 2x TB4 USB-C, 6x USB-A Gen2, SDXC
  • 3 Year/s Warranty

    Thanks.

      get extreme any day

      much better performance and you can install a full size desktop gaming card

      I also started with "light gaming" and ended up with 4k 144hz monitor, i9 and proper GPU lol

      • Thank you for your input.

      Do you want CPU or GPU. Ones got desktop CPU with double the cores and runs at 65w, the other is a lappy and runs @ at 28w. But the lappy got a 2060, and desktop is just intergrated.

      this already has a graphics card. you have to find one to fit in the NUC 11 extreme.

      You could get something like this from techfast. and it comes ready to go and better for gaming.

      • Thanks for your recommendation. I prefer to have a small foot print as I have big tower which Lenovo S20.

      If the tiny form factor of this is not important then I'd go for the NUC 11 Extreme. Packs a lot more punch and you can add in a GPU of your choice.

        I got the Extreme! its fantastic. Love it. Mrs has this Enthusiast

        • I am reading this Extreme fans are louder. Is that really bothers when you watch videos, or surfing internet? Or is that happenig only during heavy gaming. Could you please share your experience?. Thanks

          • @glitzmaster: They are - its the one downside. I guess it did bother me a bit at the start, but got used to it.
            Even on the quiet settings, they can increase in volume when processing etc. Even when not using much processing power is used.

            If silent is your goal, may not be the right one for you.

            It also suffers from fan 'ramping' ad-hoc for a few secs - that really annoys me. They just 'blow' for a sec and die down again. But I changed the power and fan settings to stop this. I set them to never turn off.

      Unless the form factor is a must, it is best to avoid Intel 11th gen nowadays. Go for 13th or 12th gen Intel.

      However, if you must get one, then the Extreme kit is better. The Enthusiast kit relies on that Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-P to entice people. That resulted in the m.2 PCIe gen 3 x4 slots (instead of gen 4). No Wifi 6E.

      Even at the discounted price, you are still paying a lot for the small form factor for both.

        Why whats wrong with 11th Gen?

        • -1

          11th gen is the final 14nm generation, although technically, some of the mobile CPUs are actually 10nm. It's based on an older architecture.

          i5 12th gen CPUs generally outperforms i7 11th gen CPUs. Obviously, the extreme 11th gen NUC uses a desktop class CPU, but it doesn't feel like an i7 in today's standard. If CPU speed isn't a primary concern then it is fine. 12th gen's Thunderbolt 4 setup is better for data transfer (most people probably don't care though).

          The 13th gen NUCs have already landed and the full refresh across the board will happen. Anyway, some people will still buy because these small form factors are enticing.

      • What's wrong with gen11?

  • Can the CPU on this handle light video editing ? How is this compare to i5 13500?

    • i5-13500 is a faster CPU.

    • 13500 is probably more than 3x as fast but depending how "light" you mean it might not be noticeable.

      • I meant like occasional camping trip, drone 4k, go pro and mobile phone videos into a single short clips.

        My last PC build was 2014, so I'm outdated with IT technology and a lot has changed since.

        • +1

          It will be absolutely fine. I've done all of that on my 8700K. Won't be as blazing fast as modern chips, but it will be totally acceptable.

    • +1

      This CPU can handle video editing just fine. I have the same CPU in M15 laptop and it can video edit 1080p no issues.

  • Wow good price! Paid $999 two months or so ago.
    Good little thing - its a bit niche and you gotta prioritise size vs upgradeability

    Guys, welcome to the SFF rabbit hole

      Once you're in, you're in! there's no turning back lol
      I went from a NUC 11 Enthusiast to a NZXT H1 v2 build and It feels enormous

    • +2

      So true. Went Ncase N1, Dan A4, then Thor Mjolnir for me. Got a Y40 now to fit in a stupid 4080 and as nice as it is it feels goofy big.

      • Planning my next high performance latest gen on Corsair 2000D
        Not really SFF but small footprint

    I am wondering if Intel will merge Enthusiast and Extreme kits one day

    Intel NUC Extremist Kit lol
