Does this model come with onboard Wifi? I tried to look up the model on the Intel website and this was the result: http://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/nuc/nuc-board-dn28…. Intel site shows:

But the CPL listing shows:

A good question to ask- we've purchased a couple of NUCs for work (not through this seller) and the wording on wireless is a little vague. What we discovered what that they come with is a built in 'antenna' (which basically uses the NUC chassis as a wireless antenna) but NOT the wireless card itself.
We were lucky in that we had a couple of dead laptops that had wireless cards which were compatible with the NUCs.
you obviously didn't buy this NUC then, and your post is misleading. This one comes with a wireless N card installed.
Some dont like the card and a common mod is to remove it for a more powerful one.
I clearly stated 'not through this seller'
As mentioned, I've purchased several NUCs, and IN GENERAL I've found the specs listed (in relation to the wireless especially) are a bit vague. As per the post above mine, often the seller's specs say one thing but Intel's specs seem to say something else.
Hence my comment that it is a good question to ask- it is worthwhile having the seller confirm the exact specs.
the 2820 celeron NUCs come with the combo wifi/bluetooth card already inside.
My understanding is that the older celeron ones, and the i3 and above ones, all need the wifi/bluetooth bought separately (if you want wifi or bluetooth)
Yep, it does. Source: I own one.
Does this intel nuc have the new N2830 Celeron Processors?
It definitely comes with the wifi / bluetooth. This model also includes the power adapter with an AUS plug, unlike the higher end NUCS where you need to buy a cable.
The more recently produced ones have the N2830. I bought one from these guys a few weeks ago for the same price and this had the N2820. With an updated bios, I have noticed no issues anyways.
Further info:
- The CPU is NOT powerful enough to play 3d bluray rip MVC MKVs (done from MakeMKV) in stereoscopic player. If this is important to you, you need the next model up.
- It WILL play the same file in 2D in XBMC though (XBMC does not support playing 3D MVC files in Frame Packing 3d - it only supports re-encoded files in SBS or OU format).
- In Windows, it will NOT bitstream DTS-HD and DOlby TrueHD to an amplifier(but will do DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1) - in XBMC, if you disable the Passthrough option for DTS-HD and TrueHD, it will still happy play the sound in DTS / Dolby Digital format. If DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD is important, you need the next model up.
- In Linux (specifically OpenELEC), it WILL bitstream DTS-HD and TrueHD to an amplifier for the full sound experience, but you can't play the 3D MVC files in 3D in Linux yet.
- It WILL play bluray isos in XBMC (although not in 3d and as above, in Windows you will not get DTS-HD or TrueHD sound).
Thanks for the review. Have you tested any steam streaming at all?
Would love a cheap little NUC to replace my android box that can work with steam.
Fairly detailed review here btw:

I haven't tried it sorry. Might be able to try later on
Additional:
- Runs Windows fast enough for desktop computing if you want a cheap and small PC. No lags that I have noticed. Obviously gaming would be the greatest.
Interesting except buying Windows will cost you more than buying the NUC.
Hopefully the rumours are true that Windows 9 will be very cheap or zero dollar for anyone with an old copy of XP lying around.
CPL Online want $50 for postage to WA, might as well go to PLE and buy it for $164.
Edit: $31 if you use a specific courier, still not worth it.
Out of stock already??? :(
I called to make sure I could pickup, then created an account … for nothing.
Some additional info.
