    If you're considering an Xbox One or PS4 for gaming and entertainment, Intel has another proposition for you: The first Skull Canyon NUC (next unit of computing) mini-PC. The NUC6i7KYK (yup) fits a sixth-gen Skylake Core i7 CPU, Thunderbolt 3, DDR4 RAM support and dual M.2 SSD slots (with SATA 3 support) into an 8.5-inch case. The Iris Pro graphics 580 will turn off gamers, though Intel points out that you could add a card like the AMD R9 Fury by attaching a Razer Core expansion box via the Thunderbolt 3 port. To use it as an entertainment device, you can easily hook up a 4K monitor -- three of them, in fact.
