Today, I will be reviewing the ASRock NUC BOX-155H barebones system, which comes with an MSRP of $699.99. The barebones nature of this system means that you will need to provide your own memory, storage, and operating system. To thoroughly test this unit, I equipped it with 32 GB of Kingston's Fury Impact 5600 MHz DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and a 1 TB Western Digital SN770 NVMe SSD. With these components in place, the NUC BOX-155H should be well enough equipped to deliver great performance during testing without adding excessive cost. The heart of the system is based around Intel's Meteor Lake family with the Ultra 7 155H being comprised of 6 performance cores, 8 efficient cores, and 2 low power island efficient cores give the processor a total of 16 cores and 22 threads. It also ditches the older Intel Iris graphics in favor of Intel's latest Arc graphics family with the unit having 8 Xe cores.
