Coming to the business end of the review, we tackle the pricing aspect first. The NUC8i7HVK is priced at $999. This is par for the course when it comes to SFF systems with discrete GPUs. We have evaluated multiple such systems in the last couple of years...
Solid CPU and GPU performance, Support for gameplay-enhancing features, like FreeSync, Myriad ports, including two Thunderbolt 3 x4, Can run external graphics over Thunderbolt 3, Runs quiet
Redesigned chassis makes access to internal components slightly more cumbersome
The NUC8i7HVK is capable of much more than I initially tested. Intel also touts this machine as an overclockable gaming and virtual reality machine. One idea that got bandied about was rolling your own VR backpack system: Pair it with a battery pack and y...
The Hades Canyon NUC is an excellent showpiece for the potential of Kaby Lake G, offering mi-range gaming performance and respectable VR capabilities within an absolutely tiny chassis. The customizable RGB lighting is a nice added touch, and the system's...

Intel's Kaby Lake-G processors offer surprisingly good performance in an incredibly small package. The NUC8i7HVK is agile in games and applications, and it offers the connectivity to satisfy true enthusiasts. Just be ready to shell out some serious ca...
Small-footprint, Impressive 3D performance, Opportunity to expand, Charging port for mobile devices, Low-temperatures, Very low-noise
Expensive, No HDMI cable, OS DVD supplied, Memory & storage need to be factored in

Abstract: The Hades Canyon Intel NUC is the first machine we've had the opportunity to properly test that bears the fruits of the unholy union between Intel's CPU cores and AMD's graphics silicon, the Intel Kaby Lake G. But, while it's far more powerful that any N...

Abstract: After Intel's very bad last few months and AMD's very good last few months, it seemed awfully confusing that the two rival CPU makers would team up for a new chip. Sure it was all good for AMD—who is riding high on the success of its new Ryzen CPUs and V...
Strong processor benchmarks, Excellent game performance, Incredible connectivity, Stays cool and quiet under load
Not the best value, Hard drive, RAM, and OS sold separately
Yes, if you're a hardware geek.Hades Canyon fills a wonderful niche. If you're willing to slap in a hard drive and RAM yourself, this NUC will prove an outstanding compact gaming PC. If that's not you, don't worry. We're sure the Core i7-8809G will appear...
