Perfect for Roon ROCK

Configured with:

I needed a mini PC to run Kbuntu Linux and this unit fit the bill. It is mostly for applications and a bit of light gaming. I have 2 x Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMMS, a Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD and a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD installed. All is working well so far. Note this is the 3rd NUC I have purchased and I really like them.

I bought this NUC to run audio software called Roon. It is working perfectly. It was easy to assemble and configure. It runs cool.

Amazing

This nuc is awesome. I bought it to replace a functioning macmini that was not performing as fast as I needed. I was tired of apples immoral lock-in practices and decided to go back to building my own system that supports running Linux. The hardware is great. I7 CPU is very fast along with all the other attached module. WIFI bluetooth etc... I am running 3 displays with no problems. I maxed out the nuc to the fullest which is 64GB of ram and I was still under $1k with hard-drive + ram. Very great value for the money. I will be buying nucs as my main computer moving forward. The form factor is perfect for my desk. Small but packs tons of power + speed

Couldn’t be any happier! High quality product received as expected. Excellent customer service by ProTech 365. They are super responsive and incredibly accommodating. Thank you!!

It took quite a while for me to figure out all the hoops I had to jump through to get a Pop OS live USB stick to boot with the NUC 10. It definitely will not work for Linux live USB sticks out of the box. I guess it is fair enough, since they mainly advertise support for Windows. But due to the poorly designed UI in the BIOS setup, it was a pain the get the settings all just right to allow the Linux Pop OS USB stick to boot. I simply could not get it to boot at all in UEFI mode, even thought the USB stick was set up with a GPT and UEFI boot. I tried Linux Mint as well - no dice. There was nothing wrong with my USB drives - they booted fine in other computers.

Im happy with the size and build quality of this device.
