They’re small and inconspicuous. Most of the time, no one needs them and they live lonely lives in boardrooms. At least that’s the case at Digitec Galaxus. I’m talking about NUCs. The acronym stands for «Next Unit of Computing» and refers to Intel’s series of small-form-factor PCs.

With the intimidating addition of «Extreme Beast Canyon», the NUC is going from guardian of the boardroom to not-so-small PC with gaming ambitions. I’ll show you why the «Beast» still passes as a NUC in the hands-on video.

Unfortunately, the NUC 11 Extreme Beast Canyon is currently unavailable in Europe because of the semiconductor crisis. That's why there’s no full review.

Intel’s NUC mini PCs are one thing above all: small. Not so the latest addition, the NUC 11 Extreme Beast Canyon. It’s as big as a shoe box. Is it still worthy of the name NUC?

Batteries and rechargeable batteries were the top-selling products on Galaxus and Digitec in 2024, marking a three-year streak at the top of the sales charts. While consumer staples such as nappies and cleaning products climbed their way up the top ten, Lego sets also emerged as one of the year’s winners. Other consumer trends can be observed further down the ranks.

In the workplace, mobile phones are mostly used for personal purposes. But how much will it bug your colleagues if you take a personal call at your desk? The answer: it depends what country you’re in. Office workers in Europe say their biggest pet peeve is colleagues failing to put their phones on silent. Plus, they’re not too thrilled to receive work-related messages outside of business hours. Employees in Germany take the strictest approach to separating their professional lives from their personal lives. In Italy, on the other hand, people struggle to strike the balance. These were just some of the things revealed by a representative survey commissioned by Galaxus.
