The NUC 8 VR NUC8I7HVK Gaming Mini PC from Intel is a compact, barebones system equipped with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7-8809G quad-core processor and AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics. It has two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots, supporting up to 32GB of 2400 MHz RAM, and two M.2 slots for storage drives. Unlike other NUC systems, this system's dedicated AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics is powerful enough to run VR applications and play graphically demanding games. Moreover, there are six video ports that you can use to connect displays. Other integrated features include 802.11ac Wi-Fi, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, Bluetooth 4.2, an SDXC card reader, and multiple USB ports. Included with this system is a VESA bracket, which you can use for alternate mounting solutions.
