VERDICT 8
THE INTEL NUC has been around for about a decade, making it as old as the PS4 and Xbox One. Yet, this tiny form factor PC still continues to impress us, with new variants released annually. With Intel’s 13th generation CPU now available, a NUC housing these chips was bound to happen, and we’ve gotten our hands on a pre-production unit of the Intel NUC 13 Pro (codenamed Arena Canyon). We’ve featured a similar NUC-based product, the Geekom Mini IT8, before, but that had an 8th gen processor, so this NUC 13 Pro should be a big step up. Is it the right mini PC for you?
