After reviewing it a few years back, I ended up being impressed to buy my own outright. Even if it means stuff like ray-tracing is out of the question, the combination of hardware inside Intel’s Hades Canyon NUC is more than capable of delivering a decent experience with most modern titles. Some additional context: I’m a bit of a Hades Canyon stan. If you’re looking for a Windows-based alternative that matches the new Mac mini on price, performance and portability, it’s hard to look past Intel’s Hades Canyon NUC. Unfortunately, they’re also significantly pricier. More recent Intel NUCs like the Phantom Canyon or NUC 11 Extreme come equipped with dedicated graphics cards and promise to offer significantly beefier performance than the Mac mini. In some ways, the closest counterpart to what Apple is selling here is Intel’s NUC range. However, under the hood, the specs are almost identical.Īpple’s relatively affordable mini-PC looms large, but it’s not the only high-performance machine playing in the space. Since it doesn’t have a screen, the new Mac mini isn’t quite as portable as the Macbook Air and Pro. It’s rare to find a PC so physically small yet capable. However, where Apple’s M1-based Macbook Pro and Macbook Air face stiff competition from gaming laptops by ASUS, Razer and MSI, the revamped Mac mini is another story entirely. You can already find plenty of videos on YouTube showing off how the new Macbook Pro handle titles from Fallout 4 to Crusader Kings 3. With the rampant hype surrounding Apple’s new M1 processor, it’s little surprise that some are already asking how the M1 handles videogames.
