Some specifications for both NUC 10 kits and mini PC’s:
- Ram configurations of DDR4 SODIMM, 8 GB or 16 GB dual channel DDR4-2666Mhz
- Storage options including either M.2 256GB NVMe/1 TB SATA 3 HDD/16 GB Intel Optane+1 TB SATA 3
- HDMI 2.0a
- Thunderbolt 3

Some configurations are region specific so be sure to check when ordering. The kits do not include an OS either so that is something to take into consideration if building one of your own. Here’s a link to Intel to assist in information for the many models and their respective regions. Here’s a link to Amazon to see the many options they have available there but be aware NewEgg and other retailers are now listing these as well.
