Custom small PCs! Intel NUC, upgrade model

It is indeed a pain to carry a Dell Alienware desktop with you to distribute outside of your normal game distribution environment....

I bought a NUC8i7HVK, a high-end model of the Intel NUC kit, from CUKUSA, a PC upgrade manufacturer.
(CUKUSA stands for Computer Upgrade King USA)

Purchase from Amazon.com

Let's unpack it right away!

The outer box is the same as the Intel NUC kit. The sides are sealed with a CUKUSA sticker.

When you open the box, you will see the NUC8i7HVK itself and the skull mark that is the symbol of this model.

Skull...dorky cool...

Check the bundled items

Included in the box is...

• NUC8i7HVK

The package is simple. This time, since I ordered with Windows 10 OS, Window 10 Home disk was included in the box.

Check the ports on each panel!

I would like to check the ports as usual. Well, it's my first time to write an article about PC.

Security wire slots on the side are also well equipped, so no need to worry about theft due to its small size!

It can be used in offices with strict security requirements, so it is safe for business use.

Intel NUC8i7HVK is ready to start

Now it's time to boot up!
When you turn it on, the skull symbol glows!

Since this is a brand-new product, we will start with the initial setup. The microphone is mounted on the main unit, so Cortana can be operated by voice.
The sensitivity of the microphone is quite good.

Booted up and confirmed operation without any problems.

After the initial setup, the device starts up!
The wallpaper has been changed to that of CUKUSA! Cool!

NUC8i7HVK can change the color of the skull symbol and LED lights.
You can change the power button, the skull, the skull's eyes, and the three LEDs on the front to any color you like, or even make them blink!

Green eyes...

You can customize it as you like, such as making the skull pink.

You can download and update Intel's official website.

Download Intel Drivers & Support Assistant and it will do a lot of things automatically for you.

It's a convenient world we live in.
