Has anyone bought this thing? For some strange reason I am attracted

If anyone is interested in Skull Canyon, wait for the Kaby Lake version. Its integrated GPU has full HEVC support, both Main and Main10.

Intel Skull Canyon, gaming console PC thing

That's a NUC, Intel's term for a small desktop computer with laptop hardware in it. Most of them can be mounted on the back of a monitor as they come with VESA mounts.

The Skull Canyon NUC is interesting because it has a quad-core i7. You can open it up and place an SSD and RAM in it yourself.

If you do that, then how the fuck do you mount the monitor to a stand, boy genius?

>>56985380
You attach it to the back of the mount

Skylake doesn't have HEVC Main10 hardware decoding or VP9 hardware decoding, would skip it for the next Skull Canyon with a newer CPU that supports those features

Oh

Get the fuck back to /v/ you literal manchild

>implying Skylake can't do that kind of CPU based decoding with minimal effort

Geezus man, my fucking dual core Sandy Bridge i7 can decode 10-bit HEVC content with barely 4-5% CPU usage, get the fuck out.

It's not a gaming device. It's running a quadcore i7 and integrated graphics. It's a lightweight editing rig.

At least that's what my brother is going to use it for.

Are you forced to install Botnet 10 on this thing?

The drivers are probably nonexistent for anything else.

It's stock laptop hardware. You can use Intel's open source drivers.
