Hi folks,
I'd love some input into a new computer I'm looking at buying/building sometime before xmas.
I've never built a computer before and would prefer to avoid starting from scratch if possible.
I have a crazy small apartment and want a sff style pc (I would also consider a laptop 13-15"). I'm very interested in the new skull canyon NUC however.
I've also been looking at the Gigabyte website but am having a hard time differentiating all the models! i can sort by image or by text...what the heck is that? haha. What is a similar gigabyte model to the Skull? Something like this...GB-BNi7G4-950?
What is Gigabyte's top of the line mini PC? I'd like to stay around $1000-1200 USD (I have a monitor already)
Are both systems easily upgradable in a year or two? new motherboard and chip etc.?
I would like something that is somewhat future-proof. IE usb 3.1 type C, thunderbolt top wifi etc.....the skull canyon seems to hit everything but I'm wondering if I'll miss a dedicated graphics card for PS?
I'm looking at 16gb ram and probably 256 m.2 is enough (I'll use external HD for back up at home)
Essentially I want this for home entertainment (heavy web and netlix use and movies etc) BUT also a lot of Photoshop work. No gaming.
Does anyone have experience with the nuc and PS?
My current laptop take 3-5 seconds to load images on PS not to mention making adjustments and it drives me nuts
Thanks for any input!
