Intel NUC X15 Arc: Lightweight and slim Intel laptop with Arc A730M graphics chip available on bestware.com
Leipzig, 7 September 2023 – bestware.com, the e-commerce platform of Schenker Technologies GmbH, is now offering Intel’s NUC X15 laptop kit with a Core i7-12700H processor and a dedicated Arc A730M graphics card, in addition to laptops from its two own brands, XMG and SCHENKER. The price for the base configuration of the 2 kg, well-equipped 15.6-inch notebook has been reduced to €899 for a limited time to mark the launch.
Intel NUC X15 Arc combines Core i7-12700H with Arc A730M
Measuring 358.26 x 235 x 22.2 mm and weighing 2 kg, the 15.6-inch Intel NUC X15 Arc ranks among the lightest and slimmest laptops in its performance class. The display lid and top shell of the black chassis are made of aluminium; only the bottom shell and display bezel are made of plastic.
Despite its compact size, the NUC 15 Arc delivers high performance. Intel pairs the built-in Core i7-12700H with 14 cores (6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores) and 20 threads with a dedicated graphics card from its own Arc portfolio: the Arc A730M offers a generous 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and operates with a TGP of 75 watts.
RAM and SSDs can be freely configured on bestware.com, as the laptop uses plug-in rather than soldered components: up to 64 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM or two M.2 SSDs, with the primary drive connected via PCI Express 4.0, leave all options open for equipping the Intel NUC X15 Arc to suit your needs.
144 Hz Full HD IPS panel and good connectivity
The 15.6-inch matt Full HD display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) features a refresh rate of 144 Hz, 90% sRGB colour gamut coverage and a brightness of 300 cd/m². Good connectivity is provided by three USB-A ports (3.2 Gen1), a headset-compatible headphone jack, HDMI 2.0 and a Thunderbolt 4 port with integrated DisplayPort streaming. This means that, in addition to the internal display, up to two further external monitors can be driven natively – the image output is always handled by the efficient iGPU, whilst demanding calculations are still performed by the faster dGPU. Network connectivity is provided wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6 or via a wired 2.5-gigabit Ethernet port.
In addition to a 62 Wh battery with selectable charging profiles to protect against natural wear and tear, the Intel NUC X15 Arc features a Windows Hello-compatible webcam, a Microsoft Precision-compliant glass touchpad and a keyboard with single-zone RGB lighting.
