Good device but some things to know

So got this device after a great deal of searching. It just arrived yesterday but can already highlight a few pros and cons. Pros It was extremely easy to set up. Took around 5 minutes maybe less. It’s extremely quiet. Plenty of usb space for connecting other devices. Compared to other sellers who provide the same specs or allow you to customize this one is a better deal. Even When compared to buying the parts separately (Ram, SSD, etc) this device costs about the same. Cons (or need to know) There is no audio. Fortunately I have enough Bluetooth devices around that this isn’t an issue but found it quite odd that sound wasn’t internal and not sure it was made clear. While it is dual monitor capable you have to buy another dongle, hub or adapter to connect it. I opted for the hub as it provides more ports. I don’t think any of these things should deter a buyer but they are things you should know before buying. Overall a great device and highly recommended.

The obvious choice...even for Mac users!

Long time Mac user...reached end of my rope with their hardware options. Have a 43” 4K monitor and just needed a work machine setup for web use. This little box exceeded my needs x10 and with Synergy app I’m able to use the same wireless keyboard and mouse (separate purchase) to run this and my MacBook Pro laptop (sitting next to this setup). Don’t hesitate...get it. Windows 10 is just like OS X and let’s me do every single thing I do on Mac except for iMessage (which I run on my iPhone or laptop sitting next to this box)...all for a fraction of the cost of comparable Mac gear.

Worth having

If you someone like me that things cute and simple, its a powerful small beast. Highly recommended

Simple, small and great performance

Pairing this NUC with a large wall monitor in a meeting room to aid in video conference meetings. With a wireless keyboard, cameras, speakers and mic, you are set for a virtual meetings.

Small, silent but powerful!

Very quick setup . Setup as a Plex Server and streams very well. Virtually silence even when ripping DVD at 650 FPS. Win 10 pro activated without a hitch. Very happy!
