NUC Intel i7 - The best configuration

[CLima3]

Hi, I'm in Brazil and I intend to buy a NUC Intel client in the best configuration possible.

So I think to buy:

- i7 barebone version of the 8th generation.

- 32 GB of RAM

- 500 GB ssd m.2 disk

The second disk will not be necessary, and the client will use external storage via USB.

The cabinet, I prefer the standard, the 7i7BNH model, the one with more internal space, for greater ventilation.

The use that the customer will give to the NUC will be the reproduction of audio and video in the most advanced formats.

It is important that the configuration supports the 10-bit H265 video, HDR and music in the most advanced formats. Above all, the model can no longer play any existing audio or video format, such as the new Atmos etc.

I also hope to receive concrete information on m.2 disk models and memory brand so that the NUC performs best.

The question of cost should not be a barrier.

Thank you for now for your tip for the best purchase.

Hi CLima3, The NUC7i7DNHE is for sure a good option, more information about Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding is available on the following document: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/core/8th-gen-core-family-datasheet-vol-1.html look for page #35. Also on the same document look for page #43 - Display Technologies for further information about eDP/DP and HDMI.
