Indeed, as you have probably already imagined, the NUCs created by Intel tend to be much higher in price than other mini PCs from other manufacturers, not only because of their internal hardware but because you are paying “the brand”. For this reason, there are times when it is more appropriate to look for alternatives from other manufacturers but that base their design on the original NUC, even more so if you find them on offer As is the case today, well, even more so.
This clone of the Intel NUC 11 is perfect for teleworking
Teleworking is today one of the most searched terms on Google, and for a reason: since we suffered the pandemic, many companies have realized that having their workers telework from home has many advantages (among them, the reconciliation with the personal life of workers, something that has been shown to increase happiness and productivity), and therefore there are many people who have had to purchase equipment to be able to work from home.
Of course, the easiest and fastest thing is to buy a laptop and spend miles with it for everything, but when you have to work many days and hours a week from the same place, a laptop ends up being uncomfortable. And that’s where mini PCs come into play, the preferred system for teleworking because they take up little space, don’t make noise, have low consumption and also provide plenty of performance for most work tasks.
A clear example of a perfect mini PC for teleworking is the Intel NUC 11, the mini PC par excellence (because it is the best seller) from Intel because it combines quite decent performance with everything we have explained before: low consumption, low noise and so small that you could install it on the VESA anchor of your monitor. In addition, as it has technology Bluetooth to connect your peripherals and with Wi-Fi 6 for the Internet, you can practically not worry about cables. Even so, as you can see below, it includes more than ample connectivity for everything you need.

In this case, the model on offer equips a processor Intel Core i7-1135G7 With 4 cores and 8 processing threads at a maximum speed of 4.2 GHz, more than enough for any task you need to perform. This processor incorporates integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics with 80 execution units at 1.3 GHz, so although it will not give you the necessary performance to play decently, it supports 8K resolution through its mini DisplayPort port, as well as various monitors. if you need it.
