Was looking to get a portable computer for travel besides my laptop. Has anyone tried running eve on a new Intel NUC machine? I wondering if I would be able to run my 2 accts on it decently. No huge pvp fights, but running mining barge and orca, and maybe some of my station production/trading without problems.

I haven't, however taking a look at the specs on the best one they have:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc5i5ryk.html

And with Eve's Min Requirements:

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 / Vista / 7 / 8

CPU: Intel Dual Core @ 2.0 GHz, AMD Dual Core @ 2.0 GHz

RAM: XP SP2 – 1 GB / Vista and newer – 2 GB

Video: AMD Radeon 2600 XT or NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS

It looks like it may be able to handle Eve on the lowest setting, not sure about running multiple clients though. Sorry I can't give a better incite though, but i hope that helps, not something I would see myself using to play Eve on since it does also take a lot of resources which I don't think it will handle very well.

That one does look a lot better, yea. It does say the memory can go up to 16gb, which is good. I run eve on 8gb of memory and run 3 accounts at once (tho I do have a i7 and a better graphics card). But as long as you get enough memory with those specs, you should be able to run eve with that and maybe a 2nd account as well fine.

What were the specs on them? I would assume they buffed them up too.
