Intel's NUC 13 Extreme is one of the latest entries to their "NUC" line of small form factor (SFF) computers. That name stands for "Next Unit of Computing", and is a family of barebones systems that Intel has been offering for several years. What makes this model appealing, however, is that it uses a full, desktop-class CPU and is also large enough to support high performance video cards. That means it isn't as compact as previous versions - but it is still smaller than tower workstations or even most ITX-based SFF chassis.
Internally, this NUC uses the top-end Intel Core i9 13900K processor and supports one PCIe x16 video card, three M.2 NVMe SSDs, and up to 64GB of DDR5 memory. External ports on the rear include one HDMI 2.1 (for use with the on-chip Intel graphics), two Thunderbolt 4, six USB 3.2, and both 2.5 & 10Gb Ethernet. On the top front edge there are three more USB ports, including one Type C, and a headphone / speaker jack. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 are also present for wireless connectivity.
