Good performance, Tiny form factor, Connectivity, QuickSync
Not much gaming grunt, No internal SATA port, A bit pricey when additional extras factored in
The NUC gives us the hots as a general purpose system. With the Intel 520 SSD, it's slick and super responsive to use. And while the Intel HD 4000 graphics fail the fragging test, you do get QuickSync. Within certain limitations, then, you could even use...

Abstract: Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a tiny 4x4 inches square PC that the chip giant believes is ideal for “digital signage, kiosks, home theatre systems and intelligent devices for small spaces.”The DC3217BY, a model name nobody can memorise, is aimed...
Tiny size, Good performance, Great as a media centre-style device
Consumer model lacks LAN
Intel's Next Unit of Computing is a wonderful device for anyone who wants a genuinely tiny computer system for the home, office, or anywhere else. It supplies speed that's on par with a regular-sized computer and it has a useful range of connectivity, inc...
I'm a huge fan of first impressions, and the NUC blew me away. That simple Intel sound when opening up the NUC really did go a long way - and keeps the memory fresh in my head. The size of the NUC is utterly impressive, considering it sports a Core i3...

Abstract: The desktop PC isn't dead, it's just shrinking. There's a new breed of miniature marvels on the market, and they boast a nonexistent footprint when attached to the back of a display. Unlike some micro-size, micro-priced computers--the $35 Raspberry Pi, fo...
Impressively small form factor, Runs quietly, Powerful processing performance for a system this size, Thunderbolt port
No hard drive, RAM, OS, or power cable included, No USB 3.0, Low on ports
Intel's tiny desktop kit is impressively small, quiet, and powerful. But it's quite expensive once you add all the necessary parts that don't ship in the box. For media playback or digital signage, you may want to consider an AMD-based alternative. ...
Intel’s Unit of Computing is not just another cute little nettop-like computer, like dozens of others out there. Intel’s new miniature system stands out at least due to two unique distinguishing features. On the one hand, it is exceptionally tiny, and...

Ultra-small form factor. HDMI video output. Easy to assemble.
No USB 3.0 support. Price does not include storage or RAM. Lacks Ethernet port
The Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a neat little DIY kit that delivers Core i3 processing power in a form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. But it gets pricey once you add in all the necessary extras....
