I provisioned a few of them and they&amp;#x27;re little beasts. Most in use are I7, 16-32gb ram, Dual NVME. The Skulltrail nucs are extremely powerfull and on the lower end the atom based units are solid too. I also ran a nuc in my car for a while, mostly stumbling radio &amp;#x2F; wifi spectrum as I drove around, but it was perfect with its relatively low power requirements.</text></comment>
