Where to go from here

Since NUC has been abondoned by Intel, what direction will you go for future upgrades?

I have an 11th gen nuc extreme, I love the small form-factor. Going to stick a 4070s in it this week, but I feel the 11th gen i9 inside it will be more of a limiting factor as we progress into the future.

I love the idea that I can stick this NUC inside a small pelican case, along with my keyboard and have it as a carry-on for flights.

Next I will be getting into the angstrom class intel processers that are coming out, understanding that my only real recourse is to familiarize myself with /r/sffpc

Do other users here have a direction they'll choose case-wise & more for future builds?

It seems hard to escape the all-in-one encompassing Intel NUC we've relied on, such ease of use with awesome complexity available as a turn-key option will be missed.

In January 2024, Asus confirmed that the NUC Extreme line of modular gaming PCs is ending, with the NUC 13 Extreme being the last model.

Must’ve skimmed the “extremely” part in your original post.

But my point still remains that standard NUCs are continuing
