The Mac Mini is using full desktop components, not NUC laptop components. That's why it supports 4 times as much RAM, Thunderbolt 3, and a 65 watt CPU compared to the 25 watt NUCs.

- brian-armstrong 8y agoThe NUC CPU is 45 watt, IIRC
- graedus 8y agoDepends on which model. I got one earlier this year with a 7th gen core i5 processor: NUC7i5BNH with a i5-7260U, 2 cores, 4 threads, 15W TDP. Now you can get them with 8th gen core processors like these (among others): i5-8259U, 4 cores, 8 threads, 28W TDP i7-8559U, 4 cores, 8 threads, 28W TDP i7-8705G, 4 cores, 8 threads, 65W package TDP i7-8809G, 4 cores, 8 threads, 100W package TDP The last two have fancy integrated graphics and only come in a larger form factor with a skull on the side. edit: conciseness, formatting
