The NUC you mention was just released, and I've had my mini PC for a while already. The i7-10710U CPU inside the NUC is officially 2 generations ahead, so it wouldn't be surprising if it were more powerful. Not really sure what you're trying to prove here. However, is it really more powerful? I don't think so. The i7-10710U is a 25W TDP U part, whereas i7-8850H is a 45W TDP CPU used in workstations like the ThinkPad P52 or some gaming laptops. Benchmark results show the i7-8850H is significantly faster (speed rank #120 vs #226) [1]. And, most importantly, the NUC you mentioned still only has a single M.2 port. Why would I want a TB3 port when eGPU performance is better over NVMe? Only this wouldn't be possible with the NUC. Anyway, I'm not telling anybody to buy what I bought, just that there are more options to be considered. I think we agree about this part. 1. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8850H-vs-Intel-Core-i7-10710U/m485626vsm900004 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8850H-vs...
