I bought the slim version of this NUC on Newegg for Black Friday. This is the same price. Always nice to have extra space for storage.

Only issue is that its from a seller called PTM, who has a single 1 star review back in July. So a risky buy in that regard.

How do you buy a Windows 10 Pro license with these builds? Its it too costly vs. buying a prebuilt unit?

eBay gray market keys are cheapest.

I own one of these and use it as a Plex server. Works great! I have all my storage on a NAS connected over LAN. Not a cheap setup by any means but can handle anything.

CDKeys Kinguin...

Not sure how any of these greymarket keys work out in the long run. Some people have complained about their keys not getting activated with Microsoft (or is it getting deactivated?) after a while.

Yes it can. I run this exact model with a PowerColor Gaming Station eGPU with an RX 5500 XT.

Technically if you do not care about backgrounds or a water mark on the desktop, you do not need to buy windows 10

I bought my last one on Amazon from a reseller for $19.99. Got an electronic key emailed to me and it activated fine
