Intel BXNUC9i7QNX1-4331-229390 NUC 9 Mini PC i7, 64GB, 2TB SSD, Win 11 Home + Dock (Renewed)

The Intel NUC 9 Extreme (NUC9i7QNX) represents Intel's most ambitious mini PC design, built around the Compute Element modular architecture. This renewed configuration pairs an Intel Core i7-9750H six-core processor — capable of boosting to 4.5GHz — with 64GB of DDR4 RAM and a fast 2TB PCIe SSD, creating a surprisingly powerful system in a chassis that measures just a fraction of a traditional desktop tower. What sets the NUC 9 apart from other mini PCs is its full-length PCIe x16 expansion slot, which accepts dual-slot discrete graphics cards up to 8 inches long. Backed by a 500W power supply, this means the NUC 9 can transform from a compact workstation into a capable gaming or creative machine with the right GPU installed.

Connectivity is a strong suit even before the bundled dock enters the picture. The NUC 9 itself offers six USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, HDMI output, dual Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and Gigabit Ethernet. The included Dell Universal Dock D6000 extends this further with HDMI, DisplayPort, additional USB ports, Ethernet, and audio — all through a single USB-C cable for a clean desk setup. With Windows 11 Home pre-installed, this renewed system is ready to serve as a compact daily driver, a home media server, a development workstation, or a gaming platform with a GPU upgrade. The small footprint makes it particularly appealing for users who want desktop-grade power without sacrificing desk space.
