I could do with a bit of advice as I have a little spare cash and am looking to buy a small box to use as a dedicated esxi host. It needs to take up very little space and be relatively low power so initially I was looking at a NUC i7, either the 8th gen with 4c/8t or the new 10th gen with 6c/12t U processors. However for a little less money I can get something like a Lenovo M920q with a 6c/6t T cpu. I don't forsee adding any further units to make a cluster so it needs to be a single box which will last me.

Any help on what may be the better choice is welcome.
 
Opted in the end for an Optiplex 5070 micro with 4c i3 cpu from the bay, the price of Nucs at the moment is crazy and the money saving will get me the ram on the micro maxed out.
