Review: Broke after light use over 10 months. Now I need to figure out how the warranty works. I have the previous generation i3 and it runs 24/7 without issue though.
Review: Yes, intel released a bad product before; however, it was an advanced problem Itel needed some time to fix; which they did. let me start with this unit is NOT defective anymore, as long as you have BIOS 42, you will have a blue dot on the bottom (fixing the voltage regulator on the motherboard). I did not, it came with BIOS 28 and I updated immediately. Let's get that out of the way, not defective anymore, here are the details I purchased the previous version. While I loved it, there were 2 things that really made me upset at Intel for it, and I could not live with it. I originally, (before the 5th gen) had an ACER UX305 w/ i3 4160, 8GB RAM, Crucial 256SSD, and a GT 730 1GB DDR5. It flew and I liked it! However, I have an IT business and wanted to have a NUC for myself, so figured that ACER will be sold to a customer. I tell you all this because I was replacing an already fast computer. The 5th gen was awesome, but two things I couldn't deal with. 1.) Awful HD 6000 graphics. Usually, the graphics are pretty admirable for internal graphics, but the NUC sounded like a jet engine with old games like AOE III AOM, etc. It cried and screamed because of the heat. And a lot of games usually playable on desktops (because the card didn't throttle with the heat), were not on the NUC. Intel advertised it as a "LAN PARTY". What a joke. 2.) Mini HDMI, so many units you needed a connector. I knew this when buying, but it ended up really bothering me. I returned the unit. Now for the 6th Gen: I paired it with Hyper 16GB 2113 Speed Memory, Samsung 950 Pro, and Windows 10. It's laughable how fast it boots (5 seconds with intel rapid technology and fast boot enabled in BIOS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROS -The skylake chip is only 10% faster than the last version in "general computing", but the Iris chip is AWESOME! I do not play games much, but like to occasionally. I max out AOEIII and get 60fps. yes, the graphics are that good! This graphics chip I am 100% satisfied and JUST is enough of power for me. Finally, intel can brag about integrated graphics, just as good as my discrete GT 730 1GB DDR5 card -I am OCD about fan noise, the NUC is SILENT in general computing, but playing games the fan understandably comes on. And fan noise is that of a laptop. I replaced my whole tower because of how efficient this chip is. Can get very hot on games though (95C-max temp is around 105 so still OK for hour bursts) -Visual BIOS is great to work in. I love this part. TIP: adjust fan speed from 35 to 30, it makes the unit completely silent while still keeping temps 40C at idle (my room can get hot around 73F, so 40C for the chip is more than fine. I would not recommend changing anything else, as the fan needs to go to "emergency mode" if need be. -FAST FAST FAST! I have to mention how much I love the chip again. It's nearly as fast as my 4160, a true compliment for 15W chip. -Minuscule, but you will save probably $50-$75 a year on this vs a "desktop" chip consuming 10x more watts. -Small! Can unplug my cables and transfer it anywhere. I move a lot for my job, this is a nice bonus. Plus, something is really cool having your computer the size of your palm, I may sound like I am an idiot for doing it, but I sometimes pick it up randomly, in dismay this thing can be as powerful as a mid-high to high end range desktop. -FULL HDMI Port! No bull mini hdmi port, allowing a lot more devices to connect easier. -Mini Display port (if you want to add another display, pretty nice) -4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 in the back 2 in front (1 fast charge). Nice because I have my keyboard and mouse usb, and my speakers usb (powered by NUC) -Full Ethernet port -FAST and nice AC wireless card -Multiple plug ports if you travel internationally -Great motherboard layout & stable as heck -Looks sexy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONS (nitpicking) -Gets hot but that's because of the case of how small the case is -Expensive....Intel could lower this a little -Still mad Intel classified the last version as "LAN PARTY" worthy, pretty much false advertisements Honestly, if you want a NUC get this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***E on 12 March 2017*

Got this "6th generation" NUC, added 16GB RAM and a Transcend 256GB M.2 SSD (Samsung was sold out). connected to a Dell 2705 (2560x1600) via HDMI. Installed Ubuntu and everything works just fine. Mounted on the back of the monitor - out of sight, out of mind. You get the performance of a MacBook Pro for around 600 Euro (plus screen and keyboard). Only annoyance was that the slim version was slightly more expensive than the bigger one that can take a 2.5" drive.
