Hello folks, I'm thinking of upgrading my music laptop. I don't really need a laptop but I don't have room for a second desktop tower. I've come across these and wonder what your thoughts are.
Any advice/opinions gratefully received, thanks. https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/p...s-kits/nuc.html I would likely purchase from HERE something like THIS spec but with 512gb SSD and 32gb ram. I just want to be able to swap it with my laptop, for the record, my laptop only has 3 usb ports and an hdmi out. It needs to come in at around £850 before tax. Thanks in advance of your help, I keep wondering if I'm missing something that is staring me in the face as to why I can't just swap it over, obviously there will be the set up but I'm hoping there is some quick way of cloning the hard drive from one to the other, somehow, maybe Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

That looks great Todd, thanks.
I've been looking at this today, what do you think Todd and Mertay? https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/3xs...top-no-firewire I'd spec a 500gb SSD and 16gb RAM. Scan have been around for a long time and have a good reputation. HERE is the info about their studio computer design. How do you think it compares to the one I mentioned HERE?

I"ve never heard of either of these vendors so I really can't help much on that front. The machine you specd looks good! Both builds are from folks who focus on creating gear for audio production which is good too. I could not find what the carrilion is using for it's video card? Can you see that info? maybe I missed it. Of the two of them the SCAN folks seem to have a bit better build in that they clearly state which video card is used and they explain the rational behind their builds. If you have heard of scan and they have a good rep in your area it seems like a good way to go.

Cheers,
And so you think it will run Helix Native? I'm going to spec up to 32gb ram and 500gb ssd, do you think it's worth going for Win10 Pro instead of home Phil I"ve never heard of either of these vendors so I really can't help much on that front.
