SoulBot-VI

The computer wifey has been using died a few months back, I think it's motherboard related problem so we are giving up on it.

Blessed her patience, wifey agreed to wait until the new year to get her new computer, she had been surviving with her smartphone and tablet the past few months.

Since this is for wifey and it's not a gaming rig, we went with Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC), a powerful computer, just without a dedicated graphic card. While my current gaming machine, SoulBot-V, is a beast, this new computer, named SoulBot-VI, looks real delicate by comparison.

 very easy to assemble, not many parts after all

This compact computer has an i7-6770HQ processor, I bought 16GB of DDR4 2133MHz memory and 256GB of solid state hard disk to go with it. The onboard Intel Iris Pro graphic 580 should be sufficient for what wifey uses the computer for: mainly surfing the net and watching drama online.

Instead of recycling the old collaterals, we bought a 24" LED monitor as well as a new keyboard, so we only reuse the mouse and speakers this round. This is the first HDMI monitor in the house.

in case you are wondering, the NUC is the one between the monitor and keyboard. Yup, that's the computer

Hope this system will last us some years. The unit is smaller than my laptop!
