    this is a side note, but what are people's thoughts on the MX300 vs an EVO 850?

  • ufsta on 31/01/2018 - 17:26

    What are these generally used for?

      The most common use for these in your home would be a HTPC. These things also support HDMI-CEC, meaning they can auto switch your TV on or off by sending commands via HDMI.

      In the office… well, they're just very compact PC's that can be mounted on the back of a monitor.

      These PC's cost more than an ordinary ATX-based (tower) computer, because you're paying a premium for the custom form factor. If all you want is a PC for cheap, don't buy a NUC.

    Any ides when the NUC with 8th Gen CPU's will be out and if so what are some of the benefits other than the obvious double core's (4 vs2 core upgrade for the i3 CPU's)… I've been thinking of upgrading my HTPC but was waiting for HDMI 2.0 and 8th Gen NUC's to get maximum CPU processing/efficiency and perhaps better hardware decoding/acceleration but have not really looking into it much yet (on the todo list)… interested in others opinions if it's worth the wait on the 8th gen NUC units?

      7th gen NUCs have HDMI 2.0
      As for 8th gen, Bean Canyon shouldn't be launching for a while, looks like around the middle of the year.

      Depending what type of Intel NUC you are interested in but high end 8th Gen "Dawson Canyon" units are due to be released in the northern Spring (USA) in a few weeks time:

      SimplyNUC, a US online NUC specialist appears to be involved in pre-order & early release of NUCs, however they are on the pricey side, but okay if you are not technical and want a fully integrated and warranted unit tailored to what you want. They do ship to Australia. Get on their mailing list and they will email you when the next gen units are released.

      or alternatively, subscribe with Intel direct.

      They (Intel) also have an app in Windows, Android & Apple formats that will update with product spec data each time you run the app. The app can provide you with the complete specifications of each current Intel product, including NUCs. I found this quite useful when researching which NUC met my requirements. (some people complain about it being out of date, except they don't understand that the data needs to be kept up to date by the user when they run the app, as it is not fully automated). Anyway, it worked perfectly for me on the Windows and Android platforms as you can choose many products for a simple side by side comparison of Intel products.

      Android app @ Google Play store (free)
      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intel.ark&…

      Windows app @ Microsoft store (free)

      and
      Apple App @ iTunes store (free)
      https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/intel-ark-product-specs/id58…

      Hope this helps. Remember, Intel release their products quarter by quarter and indicate which quarter on each product description on their web-site.

      Hope this helps.

      P.S. I am not a 'gamer', and the unit I chose, the Intel NUC7i7BNH met my needs perfectly. It operates fast, is absolutley cool to touch under load, and quieter than a mouse. Normally I shy away from inbuilt graphics, however I have max the unit out with 32GB of RAM (purchased in advance of the recently ramped up price rises). Worth every penny.

    Best OS for running as HTPC?

    • Lief on 31/01/2018 - 18:42

      Ubuntu's pretty good and free.
      If you want to go windows I'd recommend 8.1. It has significant boot speed improvements over windows 7 and you can easily disable auto updates unlike in 10.

    • Cheapo Moose on 31/01/2018 - 22:15

      LibreElec without a doubt.

      I'm running LibreElec on my Celeron NUC.

      Chuck in some RAM, an SSD and grab a remote.

      IMHO it's the best setup for HTPC.

  • sonicentropy on 31/01/2018 - 19:07

    I have 100+ of these at work, they are 4 core and crush the last gen nucs we had. Only issue is second display can have some noise with some usb-c to hdmi cables. Get a M2 drive if you can. The fast charging usb port on the front is a popular feature. Not win7 compatible
