Review: Intel Next Unit of Computing barebones desktop PC

Kforce

Poor review

The Pi / NUC comparison is of no value. Pi excellent for education, unusable desktop m/c.

NUC excellent non-gamer unit, i replaced a noisy budget tower PC (£250) with the NUC + 1Tb NAS.

Much lower power, faster, silent, 10x smaller, rocket boot time.

Setup looks great bolted on back of monitor with wireless keyboard/mouse & allows much better flexibility than a all-in-one pc (& cheaper).

Setup 4Mb 1600 RAM+128Mb mSata SSD, total cost <£300.

The reviewer would better serve their readers by focusing less on packaging, benchmarks & odd comparisons.
