Ive had several NUCs and been pretty happy with them .Theyre compact, powerful and decently reliable. This NUC works beautifully except when running 3D graphics code. Even rather low impact 3D games (Wizard101 is enough) the system silently reboots without warning. Im mostly using this for software development so this hasnt proven to be a major issue, but it is annoying. If I were making my buying decision again Id likely go with the core i5 version as my previous NUC machines were of that (slightly lower powered) version and have been reliable.

These things are great, if you can get the "new and improved" BIOS to find a bootloader. But see, thats the mystery! Back in the old days, BIOS programs were easy to use, intuitive, and helpful. But oh no, we cant have that. Instead the "dumbification" of software must continue as it does for softwares like cell phones and what not, so what has Intel done to contribute to the perennial frustration of the human species? "They dont need an easy way to set up a Windows PC anymore! Instead, lets make a graphical version of BIOS that cant find boot sectors without tech support. As they try to install Windows, the worlds most widely used operating system, well send them into an endless loop of blue screens of death, trying to boot to sectors that dont exist, until they are forced to get hold of us, engage people in tech support, and buy new hardware to solve the problem! We dont believe in simplification, only complication!" I miss the gold old days when you could build a PC from its parts and have it up and running smoothly within the hour... Just go get a PC that already has factory installed OS on it. Ive been building PCs for 23 years, I know what Im doing, and this is the first time Ive hit a wall. My frustrations are endless. Nobody should have to go through this. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy, except those who developed it. I guess that makes them my worst enemy....??? I cant wait until the machines take over and can develop themselves, because left in the hands of human developers, all we get is human error. The Singularity awaits... Have fun!
