    Laptop vs NUC For Home Office in 2019?

    I've talked to different techs, most have said the same thing, that if I'm going to be on the computer all day at my home office, the best deal for my money would be a mini itx PC build. They say it'll cool better than the NUC or a laptop, that I'll get more power for my money, that they are...

    Laptop vs NUC For Home Office in 2019?

    Laptop vs NUC For Home Office in 2019?

    Trying to decide between a laptop or an Intel NUC. Below are the specs of both, I work from my home office 99% of the time so I'd either have a laptop docked and shut most of the time or the NUC. The NUC has more powerful specs for the same money but not sure which is the better solution for a...
