Creating a PC is awesome. There are cables that need to be fitted, processors that need to be seated just like that, and a whole hodgepodge of elements that need to be selected, tested, and carefully installed for the item to work. One screw can be expensive. The Razer Tomahawk it aims to take a large chunk of suffering from building a PC and doing it tyou are considering almost foolish.
Tomahawk may be thanks to Intel, which is has a new version of its the most popular NUC availablehis year. NUCs the most advanced computers produced by Intel. They often need more setup experience—they have zero softwareinstalled – but usually good for slowing down, building a Windows Media Center, or climbing from the Raspberry Pi.
Only, over the last few years, the Nucs have started switching to more full-fledged computers instead of tinkerer & # 39; s to please. The latest NUC comes with a few exceptions designs, interiorcombined into one where the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and storage are all put into one PCI-E card. Which makes them perfect for people who want to build their PC.
First, you choose the Nuc you like, which specifies RAM (up to 64GB of DDR4), storage capacity, and which 9th generator processor from Intel (up to i9) you want.. After that you choose yours GPU (up to Nvidia RTX 2080 Super), connect both to the avPCI-E Slots are present in the case, too connect the power cables from the associated power supply. Slot everything in place and you're done. As shown in the GIF below, it takes 30 seconds or less depending on the case.
It is obviously much easier than building it allPC ass. Or there are limitations. When I build a PC, I get on the fast trackactively select all elements, from fans to SSD type. By Razer The solution is not nearly as customizable.
Still I think a lot of people you will not care-especially for people who are eager to get into PC games but are hesitant to learn in all languagesnt of the machine they play. Instead of worrying about storage, RAM, or processor, those for you that you want to continue I could just buy the whole kit then use your power is concerned about the GPU – perhaps the most important thing for a gaming PC.
Razer also claims that many components, including SSD, RAM, and fans) at the NUC will be user-friendly. So if you are initially nervous about getting better, you can take your time, ugrow slowly as you learn the program.
The Tomahawk looks like mightily a cheap half-staircase between fully built PCs that you can buy at places like Alienware or Maingear, and on the best create your ownelf. However How fossils to be seen—Razer hasn't discussed the price yet.
Intel is also just quiet about the price. When Razer turned on the NUC it turned out to be a great experiencea full cooler PC is attached to the PCI-E card, Intel also releases a more traditional Nuc.
Sunday evening, Intel showed off its Ghost Canyon NUC. While most Nucs tend to be the size of a Roku box, Ghost Canyon is large enough to accommodate a PCI-E slot to add a single GPU, effectively converting it into a PC of smaller games to lean on on the ITX sub-board.
Ghost Canyon is not the first NUC focused gamer from Intel. I was impressed by these i7-8809G over the last two years. That Nuc shared a big skull in this case but rolled out the Intel 8th-gen processor and AMD GPU. Obviously, the main difference is that you can use your GPU with Intel's latest NUC-focused NUC.
That being said, judging by the size of the case, Nvidia RTX 2080Ti and other long GPUs won't be ready. You need something smaller (and less powerful) to keep up with the 9th gen i9 processor inside.
As with Razer, Intel is not debating prices yet. Both products are expected to ship later this year, and we will review it as soon as we can.
