A new desktop computer with compact dimensions and an Intel processor has hit the market. The NucBox K7 Plus can accommodate two SSDs and can therefore store relatively large amounts of data.
The NucBox K7 Plus is another mini PC configuration that is entering an already crowded segment. Compared to the base version, this model comes with an Intel Core i7-13620H, which features 10 cores and Intel UHD Graphics. A dedicated graphics card is not included and not supported. If users need more GPU performance, the NucBox K7 Plus is probably not a good choice, and not just for that reason. The mini PC also lacks OCuLink or Thunderbolt 5 for connecting an external graphics card.
The manufacturer is selling the barebone version without RAM or an SSD for $339 at its official online store. For $599, buyers can opt for the NucBox K7 Plus with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. That is not the maxed-out configuration, as the two DDR5 slots can accommodate up to 96GB of 4,800MHz memory. The compact desktop computer also offers two M.2 2280 SSD slots, but only the primary slot seems to offer faster transfer speeds.
Anyhow, the mini PC can drive three monitors via two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort, all of which support 4K at 60Hz. Additionally, there is one USB4 port and a total of four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. A 3.5mm jack connector is also onboard, and both Ethernet have a bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps. Last but not least, the new NucBox K7 Plus configuration supports WiFi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.2.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
