Newegg has the M.2-only i5 NUC7 bundled with one 4GB stick of DDR4 for $329.
I want to upgrade from an upgraded HP Mini I am using in a second room. The primary uses are web browsing, video streaming and ripped movie playback from a NAS. Any heavier lifting that needs to be done will be done via remote desktop and Steam in-home streaming from my main PC. Beyond the obvious SSD and Windows license I would also be adding a second 4GB stick of DDR4.
If I do this am I going to regret not waiting on the inevitable 8th-gen NUCs and their quad-core CPUs? Or is this price good enough that by the time that becomes an issue I will be OK with upgrading to a new unit?
