I'm a truck driver these days gee, how'd y'all guess?, I've got a 40" 1080p TV in my sleeper, and I'm trying to decide if I want to get a gaming laptop, or a NUC to plug into the TV as a monitor, again for gaming and movies.
I get the portability of a laptop, but I just do not carry it around or into places, I will only use it in the sleeper, mostly with the TV.
The NUC is attractive because it's really small, and I can take it home & use it on the TV there (55" 1080p), and replace my ancient desktop (i7 1366 xeon hexcore, RX580-8GB vidcard, 12GB RAM) when I'm home.
Amazon has a NUC for right at $600 barebones that's got the Vega integrated chipset and processor, which most reviews show it's pretty good at gaming. It'll be far better than the desktop I have now, for sure.
Appreciate the advice, in advance, of course. Thanks y'all.
