That is only good for the most basic normie tier shit.

yeah well i would use it for browsing and webdev and some light photoshop and sometimes for watching movies, thats all. no gaming
Depends on the model

ah yes, i was thinking of something with a i5 cpu + 8gb ddr4 + ssd. thoughts?
right now i have an old pc running a budget amd duocore from 2011.
I bought a NUC a few years ago, one of the dual core i5 units, I upgraded it to 16 GB of RAM and I use it as a shitposting machine mostly and for RDP
I figured it would be enough but it's barely able to run a browser with plugins without the fan going bonkers
I'd go for something with a full desktop CPU and proper cooling. Or at least proper cooling, which the NUC doesn't have
Might have been alright for running a display kiosk in a mall or a security camera network, I dunno

What's the budget?
>>61870503
something between 300 and 400. i already have a good ssd drive
>>61870460
Perhaps the newer models are better, maybe even fanless
doesn't have to be a nuc btw but yeah something small and as little noise as possible
NUCs are great. I've got two in my low-power homelab, and I also set my aunt up with one as a desktop.
If you don't need a graphics card then go for it.
Go for it. I've been using an Ivy Bridge one as a router since forever, and a Haswell one more recently for general use.
As long as you're fine with laptop speed, they're pretty great. Tiny and reliable.

We talking about nucs or white guys?
would buy an asrock desk mini 110
for cpu i would go with the new pentium or i3, ram 8gigs and then your ssd.
cheaper than the nuc but also small and low power.
Would a NUC be good enough to run shit like minecraft, gmod and sims 4?
For my little sister

Minecraft probably. Fan would go bonkers Probably be better off custom building a machine as a NUC is designed just to be an office workstation
Its basically a laptop without all the features of a laptop.

Yes
