Intel NUC NUC10i3FNK Ultra Small Mini PC/HTPC - 10th Gen Intel Dual-Core i3-10110U up to 4.10 GHz CPU, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, Intel UHD Graphics, Windows 10 Professional

Intel NUC products are impressive again.This new 10th-gen i3 is VERY fast. Not like the earlier i3 CPU's that were barely better than their Pentium counter-parts. This machine runs like the i5 processors from just a couple years ago.Two caveats:1- ONLY 1 display connection on the new models. The older models had HDMI + DisplayPort. This model only has HDMI. If you want more than one monitor, you'll need to get a USB-C Dock or other external video adapter.2- (as seen in the picture) Depending on the seller you get it from, CHECK YOUR WINDOWS. This machine did not have the latest BIOS, drivers weren't loaded, keyboard layout was in US-ARABIC and was running LAST YEAR'S BUILD. Intel is usually very easy to get drivers from, but in this case it took me a little bit to figure out which driver was the one(s) needed for the 'unknown devices' left after installing a clean Windows 10 (that the seller should have done).

This little box gives you freedom. Freedom from crappy streaming apps and equally low quality hardware (I'm looking at you firetv, appletv, etc.). Freedom from janky Internet monopolies that drop your connection in the middle of a film's climax. Freedom to take control of your media experience and not have a firehose of ads jammed down your throat by a "service" you're already paying for.If you're like me, the consolidation of our media companies into massive anti-consumer monopolies is annoying. Add to that the fact that every streaming platform still stutters, drops frames and quality constantly, and is overall garbage, and you've got yourself a recipe for extreme dissatisfaction. Well do yourself a favor, buy one of these bad-boys, hook it up to your TV and wireless mouse/keyboard, and start torrenting like an adult. Download a full 4k version of Mulan from the Bay and see how not a single frame is dropped and you get full 4k quality throughout the movie. And you get to stick it to greedy old Disney, who will absolutely destroy the entertainment industry if we let them.For the box itself, it's tiny, relatively quiet, plenty powerful and these guys set it up exactly the way they said they would in the description. Wifi was dropping, so I had to reinstall my wifi drivers, which was super easy, and it may have been an issue with my router. Anyway, don't buy another firetv that will only last 18-months until they illegally hamstring it with "updates". Get a real piece of hardware like this, which will last 5 times as long.

I have Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromcast devices and the LG app on my LG CX OLED TV.All of them are not very good Interfaces and for skipping through commercials with YouTube TV. The best I’ve found so far is to use a Win10 PC with the YouTube app. This way all you need is a mouse (instead of your phone) on your sofa to navigate the YouTube app. The Apple implementation might be the second best if you use voice commands but I don’t particularly like talking to my TV.I had to spend sometime upgrading the drivers but fortunately Intel has put everything in one place. The little i3 box seems to be behaving itself in that it sleeps and wakes up instead of crashing as it did before I updated it.I replaced an 8 year old HTPC with the little NUC because it nice and small and is quieter.If you’re struggling with YouTube TV then this could be the answer.

Bought this for my wife since she was complaining about her computer being too slow...Purchased a NUC since she doesn't hammer on it... mainly word processing and internet stuff... definitely overkill for her but didn't want to hear any more complaints... she loves it and it worked right out of the box... also was able to attach it to the back of her monitor...

I got this for my parents to replace a much weaker small machine they had connected to their TV. It also got some desktop use while my dad's laptop was in the shop. Overall it is a nice little package, more than fast enough for day to day tasks though I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. The device is small and reasonably attractive. My main complaint is that it is a bit noisy. Not loud by any stretch of the imagination, but you can certainly hear the fan. Given how little cooling a dual-core i3 'U' part requires I'm a bit disappointed. The other thing of note is that there was no certificate of authenticity, so I think it's pretty likely the version of Windows installed is not actually genuine, though it did activate without issue.

Excellent little computer! I bought it to replace our old media computer, and it is doing an admirable job as a Plex server.

The size of this is perfect for what we needed it for and the set up was easy as it could possibly be

It's plenty of power for running a remote telescope setup. I have 4 programs open and running at the same time and it never seems to push the limits. No issues at all now after running it for several months.

16 GB memory 1 TB hard drive. I purchased this for my wife, to replace her aging laptop, and she wanted something with a low footprint. I don't see how it could be any lower. This is an amazing little computer and I am impressed with its performance. I am not sure the Windows 10 Pro was a benefit since initially I could not access any other computers on the network. After more time with Google than I like to think about I finally came across the solution: with Windows 10 Pro, unlike Windows 10,you control group policy and you merely have to go in and allow "insecure logon" then you can access all the computers on the network. I can't really blame the computer for that.
