Are you looking for a new PC? What about one with support for Windows 11, an Intel Core, Intel Arc, and a high-speed SSD? You can get the barebones version of an Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Serpent Canyon for just $999, a discount of 49%, which is nearly 30% cheaper than Amazon or Walmart, and the lowest in the U.S., according to GEEKNUC.

The Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Serpent Canyon is built for gamers and creators, with the power provided by the 12th Gen Intel Core processor and Intel Arc discrete graphics. The system provides immersive graphics, lightning-fast connectivity, and streaming. Despite the immense power, this mini PC can be placed in any room, large or small, even in a cabinet.

Intel Nuc 12 Enthusiast Serpent Canyon Ports

This PC includes an Intel Core i7-12700H; dual-channel DDR4-3200 SODIMM slots, with 1.2AV, 64GB; Intel Arc A770M graphics; and a 19VDC 330W power supply. A rich, high-speed dual Thunderbolt 4 interface supports 5V/9V fast charging for smartphones. All in all, there are eight hardware enhancements. All kits with an SSD have Windows preinstalled.

With support for up to 64GB dual-channel DDR4 memory, you’ll have much more storage capacity, transfer speed, power, and memory banks. But the important thing is that you can customize this mini PC to your needs, be it creative or gaming. You can even add a signature graphic to the RGB-backlit top with a replacement mask.

As an Intel partner and Titanium member, GEEKNUC guarantees that “all NUCs are brand new and genuine, with a three-year warranty and 30-day no-questions-asked return.”
