      • Jabba the Hutt on 01/10/2022 - 15:43
        +7

        They're referring to the fact NUC had a rather specific, longstanding meaning (literally "Next Unit of Computing", referring to small form factor PCs of a particular size). That did get diluted a bit with some upsized models, but applying it to this laptop turns it into just another meaningless brand.

        Most of the reviews of laptops with 12th gen Intel processors I've been reading have said "great performance, pity about the heat and battery life" - at the moment, I'd be more inclined to stick with 11th gen or go Ryzenm particularly if you care about battery life and not baking your lap.

        • asa79 on 02/10/2022 - 10:35

          Unless all you want to do is run benchmarks, you are not going to notice much difference in day to day life. Everything runs and opens up instantly on 11th gen version for me.

      I bought two a month or so ago. Materials, build quality and the screen are easily as good as laptops of similar specs that cost 3 times as much. However, I can't get rid of BSOD issue when being on Teams or Zoom meetings, every so often. Intel have been on that case diligently, and I'm absolutely certain it's the device drivers or a combination of BIOS/OS/drivers that aren't stable on W11, but the otherwise fantastic experience is let down a bit.

      Laptop runs cool and silent, even when on these video calls. I'm stubbornly refusing to return the laptops, well see how that goes.

      • Nom on 01/10/2022 - 17:12
        +4

        If you disable hardware acceleration in the Zoom settings, does the issue go away ? If that fixes it, it's probably the graphics drivers.

        Could also be faulty RAM - run MemTest overnight from a bootable media and make sure the error count is still 0 in the morning.

        • mrau on 01/10/2022 - 21:18

          Intel recommended disabling HW acceleration, and I did so. Unfortunately, BSOD happened twice since with completely different error codes from those before, and also between those two failures. I would have probably find out almost amusing, if it didn't disrupt calls i was facilitating. I'm still in the "challenge accepted" mode, so good are these laptops mechanically and visually (fantastic screen). I have only ever owned top end laptops, mostly X series ThinkPads, and NUC M15 just feels better, except the keyboard.

          Regarding memory and other HW tests, I've run them all first thing, and nothing came out bad. May do it over the weekend, not working on Monday, of course.

          I have to say, I own two, an i5 and an i7, and they fail same way. Surely not HW. I actually think it may be that the laptop doesn't like the external screen over HDMI… I've had such a problem with a Skull Canyon NUC (also a USB-C instability on that NUC)

          • enthusiast on 01/10/2022 - 21:38

            @mrau: I recently received an M15 - thought it was coming with Windows 10, but it shipped with Windows 11. I really want to downgrade back to 10 before I start using the machine.

            If anyone has a guide to the best way to do this, now that W11 licences are digital, please share any links or info!

      Question:

      When ever does the comment 'superseded with x+1 Gen chip, launching soon' stop being an accurate observation?

    • OldSchoolHarry on 01/10/2022 - 15:53

      i7 is better buy if you need touchscreen.

    • mrau on 01/10/2022 - 16:25
      +3

      That model is i5, runs a bit cooler, but doesn't a touch screen. The screen, otherwise, is the same in my experience, all with the glass (just no touch). I think that i5 is better value, but at these prices, it really shouldn't matter.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2022 - 18:38

        Hey if you don't mind me asking, hows the i5 stack up against the i7 for the m15? Like is it slower, have a longer battery life, or are they basically the same?

      They're upgradeable - if your machine comes with Home, you can just pickup a cheap Windows Pro key from 7 or 8 or 10 or 11 from eBay etc and add that into the activation section in Settings. It'll upgrade in place, no need to reinstall.

      • Froot Loops on 01/10/2022 - 18:33
        +1

        There are historical deals that on the silver version for an extra $50. Whiles not on sale at the moment, the silver version is on sale a lot. You could also consider the silver one with mouse combo ~$70 extra. Whiles there is no deals at the moment, there seems to a weekly offering. Just keep checking back or you can create an alert on ozbargain to get updates (last link). Normally when there is a 22% off deal (eBay) there will be a few sellers around this price.

        Also, the i5 is cheaper $950ish-$1k, but you lose the touchscreen and the states aren't as good. I believe I read these are starting to be cleared out for a new model, so there should be decent deals to come

  • Krondorf on 01/10/2022 - 16:57

    • OldSchoolHarry on 01/10/2022 - 17:43

      I have used it tor simple 1080p video editing on Shotcut and that ran smoothly. It’s definitely doable on this laptop but I suppose dGPU will be faster if your program of choice supports gpu acceleration.

    • Wonderfool on 01/10/2022 - 18:45

    • mantichoral on 01/10/2022 - 23:37

      The black model looks like a black Macbook from 2007 or so.

      Black has been typically $50 cheaper than just aluminium. I bought the silvery aluminium one, reasoning that the black will scratch, soak up heat from the sun, and it makes the keys harder to see in the dark.

    To those purchasing, buyer beware.

    Mine had very loose hinges and I reckon I need to pop mine open to adjust the hinge tension.

    Should have gone with a Lenovo ThinkPad because the hinges are more robust. Either that or an hp or Dell.

    It does require a 100W charger though, so fair warning. My other Lenovo's don't have the same power requirement, only about a 35-60w req.

    Can anyone recommend a good value thunderbolt dock for this laptop?

    There is way too much choice online and I just don't know what is good or not (I have only had dell docks with prior systems)

    TIA

    • O O on 02/10/2022 - 16:37

      The cheapest Thunderbolt 4 dock/hub I can find is ALOGIC Thunderbolt 4 BLAZE Hub $229 at the moment, 3x TB4 ports + 1 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 Port, so you need USB-C to DP cables for DP port output.

      If you just need 2x DisplayPort, assuming full bandwidth, i.e. capable of 4k@60Hz on each port, + 2x USB-C and USB-A ports. Why not considering USB4 hub.

      I'd suggest J4create USB4 Dual 4K Mult-Port Hub. It's has 1x DP 1.4, 1x HDMI, 1x USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode + 1x USB-C PD, 1x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). The price is ~$180.

      Don't buy those USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) hubs that flooded the market, they only capable of output either 1x 4k@60Hz or 2x 4k@30Hz due to the USB 3 bandwidth limitation.
