Wait for Kaby Lake or Apollo Lake NUCs

I actually might, very interesting thanks Anon

They seem awfully overpriced considering they aren't even fully kitted out under most circumstances. I think they're only somewhat relevant considering AMD typically offers the best bang for the buck.

You'd probably get a far better deal building something based off the Asrock deskmini or something like that. At the very least, you could get equal performance for far cheaper or superior performance for about the same price.

Why not get the Skull Trail one. The Apollo lake will be much weaker.

this is the only nuc worth considering, if it's not being used as a thin client.

It's a bit bigger, hence less portable. But still pretty small. I will look into it.

>>57453145
Shame it looks so tacky.

The Intel Nucs are far overpriced. Get a Best China Quality Nuc instead.

That looks horrible.

Have an i5 intel nuc forget which gen 1 or 2 gens old I bought for a media centre in my main theatre room.

Thing has been absolutely bullet proof and done every single thing I've asked of it. Never had one single issue.

Honestly considering when I finally scrap my gaming PC getting one and just mounting it on the back of a nice 27 4K monitor now I no longer game.

Depends on what you're wanting to use it for, mine is a Firewall.

Don't buy the Skull Trail NUC because Skylake is outdated and can't hardware decode HEVC Main10 or VP9 Profile2 10bit like Kaby Lake can

Also Skull Traill is $600+

Didn't know about this, will upgrade my esxi box from a haswell nuc finally. These things are great for little homelabs <3

You can replace the top lid with a plain one. It seems nicer, imo, because it's not so tall as the ordinary NUCs and it has the best hardware. It looks like a router, yeah, not so sexy, but still it's a very useful PC for such a small footprint.

I would get one just for work, myself. Considering you can replace parts easily, that's also good.

>>57453384
It's the one with the best hardware tho.

>28W i7 Processors

It looks like Intel wants to sell underpowered cheaper versions, they're desperate for some market.

Compare that to i7 at 45W TDP. You can't possibly get the same processing power at almost half the same power in one year. So they're selling a diluted version for consumers.
