Intel NUC 11 i5-1135G7 Performance $450 barebones

+23 Deal Score

Not a deal so much as in stock notice if anyone has been waiting for one. BH seems the cheapest.

Barebones, the ones with pre-installed ram or SSDs are way overpriced.

$450 for the i5, $180 more for the i7
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 4-Core (11th Gen)
Supports up to 64GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM
Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics
PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD Slot + 2.5" SATA Bay

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) / Bluetooth 5.0

Good Deal?

Does anyone know - is the Iris graphics processor in 11th gen cpu enough to play Breath of the Wild on CEMU?
My 10th gen i5 GPU isn't able to keep with the frame rates to even usable level

Most likely won't.

It's probably a year away if it's as late as this was. Reviews are from Feb and it's just now in stock.

This is a nice CPU improvement on the 10th gen and the graphics are like 3X faster.

+1 Intel NUC are built rock solid and can be run 24/7/365 for years.

I would mostly agree, however if the fan runs a lot they will wear out. I had to replace a fan on my 5th gen NUC after about 5 years of use (fan was used average) and my 8th gen NUC fan is starting to make the worn bearings noise as well. But in all fairness, that's to be expected, no fan runs indefinitely. I did have a problem with my 5th gen after a few years when the CMOS battery got low and it kept corrupting some data that it was supposed to keep. Replacing the battery wasn't enough as the data was still corrupted and the computer kept shutting off 1 second after turning it on. Luckily I found that it randomly will boot, so after trying literally like 50 boots, it finally did and from then on it was reliable again. Other than that, I quite like my NUCs for light desktop tasks that don't constantly spin up the fans, because they are noisy...

11th gen i5 sucks big time, might as well wait for a 12th gen NUC
Mobile 11th Gen (Tigerlake) doesn't equal desktop 11th Gen (Rocketlake). This is a mobile CPU.

I have no idea how that's confusing /s.

The CPU in the i7-based NUC is a 1165G7, which seems to do fine with CEMU and BOTW at stock 30fps framerates at 720p with a small overclock. The stock Switch resolution is 720p portable and 1600x900 docked with an 81-91% resolution scale in some areas.

Cause it's not profitable, not cause it sucks. Reviews of these NUC 11s are uniformly good that I saw.

Thunderbolt 4 is what makes this one a winner, IMO.

I realize GPUs are hard to get. But with some patience, you can get an enclosure (eGPU) + for a decent price, either used or via Amazon Warehouse sale for ~ $200. Add any GPU of your choice, and pair it with this tiny box via Thunderbolt, and you have a very tiny, flexible computer than can manage some decent games.

This NUC is Thunderbolt 3, not 4.

Does it say that in the B&H description? AFAIK, because the CPU is 11th gen (with native support), it's Thunderbolt 4, by default.
