The weak link is the iGPU.  Both the i7 and i5 Model in your link has a Intel UHD Graphics 620 using HDMI 1.4 so it will max out at 24fps @ 4K.  It's also the weakest of the iGPUs.  Have a read of the other reviews in this thread on using Intel NUC etcs and you will get a good idea of the limits of using a iGPU (and then minus a bit more for the weaker UHD 620).  It will probably work (just) but I would not buy it for UHD Content....
