Intel NUC 10 NUC10I5FNHN Frost Canyon Mini Computer 10th Gen Core i5-10210U, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 6MB Smart Cache, Iris Xe Graphics (NUC10I5FNHN 16GB+512GB)

Big disappointment with this one; cannot even get to the BIOS.

Configured with:

Its a small and quiet Windows machine. It has 32gb memory and 1tb ssd and connects to 3 27 monitors. My main computer for development. The one on the right is an Intel NUC 8 running Linux.

These things are great. I use mine for a power-efficient test bed for Python code and database applications. I generally run process-intensive applications at one time, and the NUC has no problems keeping up. The fan can wind up a bit, but its quieter than my laptop. Just give it some space for air flow and youre good to go. Great for 2nd machines, media players, test benches, or lightweight virtual hosts.

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

This was a barebones kit. I got my own RAM and SSD, everything went together fine and the NUC even took Linux without a headache. Just make sure that you update your BIOS before trying to install ANYTHING, even Windows. I had the memory, storage, and OS installed in less than 45 minutes and have had zero issues with anything.

Zippy and quiet just what I needed. Creating a home lab with a type 1 hypervisor I have an ESXi 6.7 key so I will most likely go that route. Bought a second to mess around with not sure what OS but I put ubuntu 19.10 on this, for now, was up in less than an hour. I went this route for ease of use and was not disappointed. 12 threads so its seen as 12 cores @ 1.8mhz. 64GB 32X2 Samsung 2666, 1 nvme 1TB Samsung 970 evo+ m.2 all this is on the approved vendor list so no compatibility issues. Seems like it will make a solid platform to practice real-world virtualization. I was going to build an threadripper server but decided to go more modular.

The full-sized SD card slot is non-functionally intermittent. I would have rather they stayed with the microSD slot.

Finally, I have been looking for a small pc to use as a tv media/gaming pc. I tried an hp elitedesk with a ryzen 5 pro with vega 11, and a 9th gen i7 zotac magnus pc nvidia 2070 (wifi/hangup issues) . This is how I have mine set up.
