This NUC looks really good

I've been searching for a good value on a NUC and this one looks great[^]. Very similar to the desktop i'm running right now. 16GB RAM AMD R7 4700 500GB m2 NVME SSD Wifi & bluetooth AMD Radeon graphics Windows 11 Pro EDIT almost forgot it has 1Gb LAN port and two HDMI ports also. Wow! Very fairly priced at $449 & is expandable on RAM & drive. This is very comparable to my MicroCenter build -- of course it's a full desktop. You don't see one in this form factor for this cheap very often. Have any of you bought NUCs?

Did not buy any mini PC's, but I would be careful with the cheaper Beelink models like the Mini-S. I read some mixed reviews on the quality of those. This model might be fine however.

Good to know, thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

I bought an Intel NUC a few years ago to use as a local MS Team Foundation server. It's still working, and doing its job.

I bought an Intel NUC for my wife last year, and it works perfectly. It's a Core-i5, has 16GB of memory and a 500GB NVME 'drive'. It's running Win 11 as it has a TPM module. I've also recently bought two more of them as replacement systems for a retail operation for which I do tech support. In this case, they were both bare bones i7 systems, to which I added 16GB of memory and 500GB NVME drives. The fact that they're small enough to mount on the back of the monitor is a plus in that locale since space at retail counters is often limited. They both have TPMs but I've restricted them to Win 10 to match the other systems in the store. My only complaint is that "bare bones" also means no power cable. The power brick is included, but not the AC cord to plug into the wall. Seems kind of stupid, and is a pain, but the customer has to pay so it's not too big an issue to me.

Very cool and a good application of NUCs. And that is very odd that the power cable isn't included.
