Good price compared to Australia online stores I've seen (~$500 + delivery). Since these are the first Intel NUCs that support HDMI 2.0 and can run 4K @ 60fps they're perfect for an HTPC plugged into a 4K TV. Plus the new Kaby Lake CPU's offer hardware decoding for 4K HEVC video.

Keep in mind you still need to purchase RAM and a Hard drive.

This is the version that has room for a 2.5 Inch HDD/SSD, the K version was initially the same price but at the time of this posting is not being sold by Amazon directly.

Also keep in mind that the photo on the Amazon site is wrong, it should look like this:

    Was looking for a small office computer to run Eclipse and dev tools + office. This might be perfect.

    It's a shame they took the thunderbolt from the i3 versions. The i5/i7 Kabylake both have it.

      Yeah I was going to wait for the i5 model, but apparently that's not coming until April.

    Apparently Netflix 4K also works on this, in Microsoft Edge.

    Does it Australian power supply?

    • fatpizza on 31/01/2017 - 16:53

      In the specs it mentions that it comes with multiple country plugs, and if the Skylake model I bought last year is any indication one of those will be an Australian plug.

    • cyssero on 31/01/2017 - 17:02

      My previous NUC came with international plugs and my recent Intel Compute Stick came with international plugs. A safe guess this will too.

    Thanks for the picture update. I thought that my Skull Canyon NUC6i7KYK was already out of date! :-)

  • Sage on 31/01/2017 - 18:21

    Doesn't work with Windows 7.

    • garage sale on 31/01/2017 - 19:24

      windows 7 not supported on kabylake … only windows 10 …. manufacturers aren't doing drivers so if it works great, if it doesn't tough.

      and the question is does it come with windows 10 ?

  • JetBombat on 31/01/2017 - 19:15

    What is this good for?

    • jabroni on 31/01/2017 - 19:23

      not hevc x265 videos as that needs 4 cores

      • gummibear on 31/01/2017 - 19:40

        Do you have a link with more info? I'd like to know more prior to making purchases

      • sal_chi_cha on 01/02/2017 - 00:32

        My I-have-no-idea-what generation NUC with Celeron N2820 plays hevc files (admittedly starts to struggle with 1080p files, but is fine with straight old boring 720p), so I think this way better one with hardware decode should be smooth as silk no probs! I use LibreELEC, FYI.

        I'd love to get this to replace above-mentioned NUC. One can dream…

  • [Deactivated] on 31/01/2017 - 19:30

    Could buy a full blown laptop for not much more ;-)

    • AlbyDuck on 31/01/2017 - 19:52

      ..or you could buy a cheap Amlogic s905x-based media player for about a tenth of the price that will feed hevc to a 4k tv quite nicely (assuming playing media is what you mainly want to do). Having said that, I'm sure there are things you could get this thing to do that you couldn't do with your cheap Chinese box. I'm genuinely interested in knowing what they are.

      • plasmapuff on 31/01/2017 - 20:22

        Which one would you recommend? Any which play local 4k HEVC off a hdd?

        • AlexF on 31/01/2017 - 20:53

          Which one would you recommend?

          and which can bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD?

          I use a Beelink Mini MXIII II running Kzsaq's Kodi builds off a micro-SD card and it meets all of my needs. See https://forum.libreelec.tv/forum-38.html. I haven't tried running from an attached hdd to be honest. There are two usb ports and I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I can't guarantee it.

        • AlbyDuck on 01/02/2017 - 14:11

          @AlexF: Beyond my needs, so I don't really know.

        • AlexF on 01/02/2017 - 16:04

          @AlbyDuck:
          So, your question "I'm genuinely interested in knowing what they are." answered.

        • AlbyDuck on 01/02/2017 - 18:06

          @AlexF: Not at all. I have no more information than I did before. Do you definitely know that it doesn't? If you do and you can tell me then you've increased my knowledge.

          Anyway, from the Kodi forums in May:

          "The C2 will deliver DD, DTS, Dolby True HD bitstreamed - but not DTS-HD MA (just a DTS core) and not PCM 5.1/7.1. This is not, it seems, a hardware limitation, so I would hope that DTS-HD will arrive quite soon." The C2 they're talking about uses the s905 SoC which is the predecessor to the s905x. So the answer to your question I think is "possibly". If you know definitely, do tell.

          The point I was trying to make is that many people may not realise that the cheap Chinese solution will meet their needs perfectly. I'm not being a fan-boy about it. If your needs are a bit more advanced or specialised, then go for it.

    A small warning, the labelling of i3 / i5 and i7 for the low power kaby lakes is crappy. Even the high end i7 one isn't that good unfortunately.

    This might be ok for video playback, it does do accelerated x265 right? but I dunno, there's not a lot of guts in this thing. Might be worth getting an i5 model.

    • AlexF on 01/02/2017 - 16:27

      x265 and QuickSync are two different de/encoding engines - former is software-only on any processor, latter is hardware-assisted only on Intel processors.
      The point of hardware-assistance is so Intel's low power series of processors don't need "a lot of guts" for de/encoding workloads since iGPU's intrinsic parallel processing naturally lends itself to assistance.

  • GundamZeta on 31/01/2017 - 21:40

    Thinking to retire my 9 yrs old computer this year.

    Was thinking to buy NUC or Mac mini… still in difference which one to buy

    • hamwhisperer on 31/01/2017 - 21:54

      Mac mini over priced tho right? Do they still run Windows optionally on Macs? Also they haven't refreshed it in ages (I think?)

      an i7, 16GB, SSD nuc would last like 5 years, pretty beasty for the size.

      If it's got Thunderbolt 3, I THINK you could even go high end GPU and game on it one day externally.

      • GundamZeta on 01/02/2017 - 09:44

        As long as Apple provide Bootcamp, I can still run Windows right?

        I'm waiting the new release of Mac mini.
        It's rumor apple will release the new model this year.

        I'm not a gamer, therefore I don't need a high end GPU.

  • fatbeer on 01/02/2017 - 11:34

    Is the i3 powerful enough to handle 4K HEVC?

    • fatpizza on 01/02/2017 - 12:05

      In software mode I would doubt it, but if whatever program you're playing it with supports hardware decoding then it'll be fine.

      Edit: Either way whilst the photo has been corrected on the Amazon listing, Amazon is no longer listed as a seller so I'm going to expire this deal at least until Amazon sell it directly again.

      • fatpizza on 01/02/2017 - 13:32

        And it's now available again. :P
