PC requirements / user experience

I was wondering what the user experience is for different PC users with different specced PC's.

My system is a Nano Hog 4 (with the standard built in super widget) on a pc with this specs:
Intel 4770K 3.5Ghz Quad core
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
GTX760 graphics card with 2 GB Ram (2x 24" full HD displays).

Is use this system live as well as preprogramming with lightconverse on the same system.

It boots up really fast, 24 seconds from cold start until my showfile is loaded en running. (running Windows 8.1)
I like the overall performance very much, never have the feeling I have to wait for the desk.

It is a mini-ITX system however and I might buy a second PC only for live usage to make a smaller flightcase for the system.
Have been looking at Intel NUC, but only goes to 1.3Ghz dual core with "boost" (??) to 2.6Ghz, would this be enough?
The PC I have now would then only be used for the visualizer and maybe for backup.

What are you using for your Hog 4 PC and how happy are you with it?

    I've been running Hog4PC on my Surface Pro 3 with Nano hog for about a month now, and it's great! :)

    I've got the i5-4300U 1.90 GHz with 256Gb SSD and 8Gb Ram model.
    A few weeks ago I had a show with 3 full universes of fixtures with no noticeable lag even when hammering highlight on/off
    The resolution is a little too small for the top/bottom row of buttons with the default display size, but is ok when upping the "Item size" in the Windows menu
    If using the "Encoders" on screen, they seem to be super sensitive, would be tricky to do positions using only the screen. There may be a way to adjust this, but I haven't delved too far into that yet

    Let me know if you have any further questions about Hog4PC and Surface Pro Combo
