It's powerful enough for 6 virtual ubuntu machines (probably more) and running ceph and postgres nodes with Vagrant (not that I use them all the time, more for development) Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU @ 1.10GHz, 1608 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) 32GB RAM 1TB SSD https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/188811/... IntelliJ and Windows 11 runs fine.

I had this setup and then wanted more so got a Ghost Canyon one. It's not really a Nuc as its about 8x the size, but carries the badge. It'll fit a full PCI card and then you can go wild. It really is great.
