Does anyone play Starcraft Remastered using a NUC? NUC means Next Unit of Computing. Basically I want to know if I buy a NUC would it be compatible with SCR? And which one to buy? I’ve quit my pc gaming days and switched to consoles. And a NUC feels more like a console. NUCs hook up to televisions I believe so you don’t even need a monitor. Thanks. I just wonder which NUC would play videogames and be HD compatible.
I researched it because I don’t know much about NUCs. It says you can play all modern day games. It is pricey though. “To get a NUC 8 as equipped as the review unit provided by Intel (Intel Core i7 8809G, 16GB of Kingston HyperX DDR4 RAM, a 118GB Intel Optane 800p SSD, and a 512GB Intel 545s SSD, plus Windows 10 Pro) it would cost you about $1,700 total. “
I wonder if any TL units use a NUC?

I don't see why not considering Remastered's relatively low requirements. But be warned NUCs generally don't make for good gaming machines due to using integrated GPUs.

Remastered shouldn't have any issues on an integrated GPU though, I think you're referring to NUCs as general gaming machines in your second sentence?
I'd be more concerned with using a TV as a monitor or whether you can find comfortable positions for the mouse + keyboard. Perf wise shouldn't be an issue ta ll

Intel Core i7 8809G has an AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (which has its own 4GB memory unlike previous Intel integrated graphics designs) whose performance is theoretically somewhere between GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1060 (3GB) for reference.
My main complaint about this design is the high temperatures. That's going to cause the AMD GPU to fail much more quickly, just like with laptops with AMD/Nvidia GPUs.

That is correct. NUCs are limited as general gaming machines.
I would think most recent NUCs with integrated GPUs could run Remastered's real-time lighting, but I don't know exactly how they allocate VRAM and if Remastered would work with it.

I've been thinking about this for a while, if you try it please tell me how it goes.

For NUCs and laptops pay attention to graphics card they use and compare them to the SC:R system requirements (on blizzard website somewhere). SC:R works fine on almost all modern graphic cards including integrated but on integrated I had constant tiny freezes and HD graphics look worse than they should. Not a deal breaker but very annoying.

I currently play on a Mac and have been contemplating one of these as well as a cheap Brood War PC. I have mouse issues on Mac where the mouse gets stuck for a bit while moving it (especially when combined with a keypresses) which is really frustrating and I think it's platform specific? Although both my Mac systems have integrated graphics, so is there a chance this is the issue instead?

Just get something like the Dan A4 Itx-case. For 1700$ you'd get a supreme well cooled gaming machine that is almost as small as a Nuc and looks very good.

Looks like the old NES system with a new aesthetic looks, it'd be cool if Remastered went to Console. lol

Wow I never checked the price. I thought they were much cheaper. Since my (and I'm assuming OP's) only PC gaming will be SC:R, there has to be cheaper options...

I'd like to see AMD versions of this for a reasonable price. I expect the Ryzen APU chips should run SCR just fine even in NUC form. Alas, these don't really exist yet.
