Intel NUC11 (Intel Core i7-1185G7) Mini PC

Description

Tiger Lake vPro in the NUC 11 Pro Chassis

The NUC11TNHv7 is the Intel vPro variant of the NUC 11 Pro Tiger Canyon lineup, pairing the Core i7-1185G7 — the vPro-enabled sibling of the i7-1165G7 — with an otherwise identical platform to the standard NUC11TNBi7. The 10nm SuperFin Tiger Lake architecture delivers 4.80 GHz maximum single-core turbo frequency (30 MHz above the non-vPro variant), the same Intel Iris Xe GPU with 96 execution units, and full compatibility with Intel’s vPro management stack — enabling AMT remote out-of-band management, hardware-enforced security features, and TXT for enterprise IT environments that require fleet-level remote administration capabilities.

For deployments where vPro matters, this is the correct NUC 11 Pro i7 to specify. For home, home office, or professional builds where vPro management is not a requirement, the NUC11TNBi7 (i7-1165G7) delivers essentially identical real-world performance at a lower price. The Iris Xe GPU (96 EU) handles the same workloads in both variants — light gaming, video acceleration, creative applications, multi-display productivity across up to four simultaneous outputs.

Three internal storage positions (M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 2280, M.2 PCIe 3.0/SATA 2242, and a 2.5″ SATA bay in the tall chassis) give this kit more storage flexibility than most compact desktop platforms, and two SODIMM slots accept up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 in dual channel.

⚠️ This is a barebone kit — no RAM and no SSD are included. DDR4-3200 SO-DIMMs and at least one M.2 NVMe SSD must be purchased separately before the system can be used.

⚠️ Intel vPro AMT remote management requires a compatible network configuration (wired connection recommended for initial AMT provisioning) and may require IT infrastructure setup. vPro features are available to IT administrators managing fleets; for individual users, vPro provides negligible benefit over the non-vPro i7-1165G7 variant.

💡 The NUC11TNHv7 “Tall” chassis includes a 2.5″ SATA drive bay for an additional HDD or SSD alongside the M.2 slots — providing up to three simultaneous internal drives for builds requiring both fast NVMe boot storage and high-capacity SATA storage.
