Twin Lake dev board

This N150-powered NUC motherboard is sold with just 4 standoffs and a large CPU cooler, and honestly, we think that's great. Connectivity is good enough, with dual 2.5G Intel LAN, HDMI, and just two USB 3.2 ports. Still, the CWWK X86-P6 is a very interesting solution, especially for $149. The system is also available with up to 32GB of RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD directly from CWWK.

The Akasa Euler gets slimmer

The Euler is the most compact and easy option for 35W Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs (see this build video). The case (A-ITX60-S1B) is already listed in Germany for 129.95€.
