Weighing in at just over 2KG, it's surprisingly heavy for a mini-PC (especially one with no heatsink) and the 222mm width makes it one of the widest entries in this particular category. The original 4in x 4in square of Intel's Next Unit of Computing motherboard layout is nowhere to be found, replaced instead with a wide angular box adorned with a light-up skull decal that glows blue and pinkish-red when the system is powered on - and which, thankfully, can be switched off. Designed as an exercise in cramming as much compute performance into as small a space as possible, the Hades Canyon is barely recognisable as a NUC.
