In the mini computer camp, there is a "quasi-system" only integrated CPU (including heat dissipation module), and the user can purchase and install the memory / hard disk after buying, thereby effectively controlling cost spending. As a mainstream representative in the quasi-system, Intel NUC8I5BEK and GIGABYTE BRI5H-8250 Who are more suitable for you?
More than the body
As a mini computer form, the biggest feature of Intel Nuc8i5bek and Gigabyte Bri5H-8250 is that there is only a slap in size, and it can easily hide or secure behind the display (through the wall-mounted bracket), instantly obtain a simple experience similar to one computer.
It should be noted that the two versions of the BEH and "Bek" are equipped with the BEH and "Bek" NUC, the former is the standard version, the thickness reaches 51mm, slightly bloated. The latter (the model involved in this article) is a mini version, cutting the thickness to 36mm, which is more light, but the cost is to cancel the fixed position of the 2.5-inch hard disk. The price, design and interface of the two versions are exactly the same, how to see your preferences. The surface area of Gigabyte Bri5H-8250 is similar to Intel NuC8i5bek, which is only 46.8mm thick, and the body is in the bottom of the wind.
Contrast before and after interface
The mini computer is also small and PC, which requires enough rich and quantity expansion interface to stand at any time. Intel NUC8I5BEK provides 2 USB3.1 (Gen2) interfaces, audio interfaces, and power switch in front panels. Other interfaces are integrated in the back of the fuselage. The biggest advantage is to armed 3 (can connect to an export card. Dockupine Overhead.
Gigabyte Bri5h-8250 is equipped with 2 USB3.1 (Gen2) interfaces, just they are both standard and USB TYPE-C interface. The rear interface of this product consists of 2 USB3.0, HDMI and Minidp, although it is still "sufficient", far less than NUC8i5bek is luxurious. After all, even in the field of desktop, the lightning 3 and USB3.1 interfaces have not been fully popular.
Performance and configuration analysis
As the quasi-system, Intel Nuc8i5Bek and Gigabyte Bri5h-8250 CPU cannot be replaced, so you have to go back in place. Among them, NUC8I5BEK is equipped with the I5-8259U of Intel 28W TDP, and Bri5H-8250 is equipped with 15W TDP I5-8250U. In addition to the higher frequency higher, it also integrates performance close to Ying Weida Geforce 940mx alone. Torch Iris Plus 650 Nuclear obvious (see table), comprehensive performance is stronger. If you usually play "Watching Pioneer" and "Star Battle 2", NUC8i5bek can help you set more quality options more. Of course, I5-8250U integrated UHD620 core graphics card is not too bad, smooth running "League of Legends" or no pressure.
For 100% of the performance of the core graphics, these two machines need to be paired with dual-channel memory. Now Kingston 4GB DDR4-2400 memory price is about 249 yuan, 2 of the overhead is less than 500 yuan, and the daily application 8GB capacity is also enough. used. Intel Nuc8i5bek is subject to ultra-thin body, although the SATA slot is reserved on the motherboard but there is no space to resettle 2.5-inch hard drive (refer to Figure 1). Therefore, unless you can endure it to open the "naked", you can only install 1 M.2 SSD. At present, 500 yuan we can choose the M.2 SSD of 480GB SATA channel, or the M.2 SSD of 256GB PCIe channels.
Gigabyte Bri5h-8250 benefits from loose body, you can install a combination of dual hard drives, such as the matching of 256GB M.2 SSD and 1TB HDD hard drives, implement disk capacity and speed balancing.
It should be noted that this product does not integrate wireless network card by default, you need to purchase and install it yourself, like Intel Wireless-AC 9260NGW level M.2 network card price is about 130 yuan, these requires calculation to the final total overhead middle.
When we give the above products to the memory and hard drive, the total cost will be around 4,000 yuan, at which point their performance is basically the same and the price of 4,500 yuan to 5000 yuan is flat, and it is very easy for everyday office and entertainment. Upgrade maintenance is also convenient than notebooks and DIY desktops.
summary
Intel NUC8I5BEK is obvious in performance and interface setting, and it has also been cumbersome of our self-installation wireless network card. The advantage of Gigabyte Bri5h-8250 is to support the installation of dual hard drives, 65W total power is more power saving in long-term use. If you are too lazy to DIY, you can also purchase machines that have installed memory and hard drives in the e-commerce platform such as Jingdong and Tmall, sometimes the price is better than our own purchase.
