Dont have money to buy it even with the £100 Savings xD

OMFG a NUC with a egpu!? i was wishing for a surface pro with an egpu but, NUC should be more afordable right?

 

How Much is that NUC?

I have this one: NUC7i5BNK

 

It is the only model that is THIN and has Thunderbolt 3. I setup a thicker i7 version for a client coupled with a Quadro P2000 eGPU. My setup was the test bed for that. It works beautifully - like it's fully supported, no issues at all. 

 

I was SO wishing for a Surface Pro with Thunderbolt 3 but alas the latest model only has USB3.0. I already have a SP4, but if they come out with one with TB3 I will ditch everything and that will be my one and only PC, mobile and at home.

 

If anyone is interested in a cheap eGPU solution, look at the Akitio Node

If you mean with an eGPU, absolutely.

 

But wait! Intel is coming out with some amazing stuff. They are working on new models that have discrete graphics built-in codenamed Hades Canyon.

I'm waiting for Hades, too. See what monster they have created. :p

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Malisk · Posted

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do; get an innate understanding of the night sky or a "quicker" path to astrophotography end results. I put "quicker" in quotes because with my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions, half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, spending a few hours shooting, merging photo sessions, etc. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
