Intel NUC 9 NUC9i9QNX i9 Mini PC, 16GB RAM, 4TB SSD

The Intel NUC 9 NUC9i9QNX is a compact mini desktop that packs a 9th Generation Intel Core i9-9980HK processor — an eight-core, sixteen-thread chip with a base clock of 2.40 GHz and turbo speeds up to 5.0 GHz — into a chassis small enough to mount behind a monitor or tuck onto a shelf. Paired with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 4 TB PCIe NVMe SSD, this configuration is ready for demanding productivity workloads, from software development environments to video editing timelines. Connectivity is modern and generous, with Wi-Fi 6 AX200, Bluetooth 5.1, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, six USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, HDMI output, an SD card reader, and wired Ethernet.

What sets the NUC 9 Extreme apart from other mini PCs is its modular Compute Element architecture, which allows users to install a compatible single-wide discrete GPU for graphics-intensive work — a rare option at this size. The system ships pre-installed with Windows 11 Home and includes a Dockztorm USB Hub for additional peripheral connectivity. Professionally upgraded by GreatPriceTech, this NUC is configured and tested before shipping. While the 9th Gen platform is no longer the newest, the raw performance of the i9-9980HK remains competitive for CPU-bound tasks, and the overall package delivers a compelling combination of power and portability for users who refuse to compromise on either.
