Intel NUC5i7RYH Broadwell-U Iris NUC Review

Over the last couple of years, mini-PCs in the ultra-compact form factor (UCFF) have emerged as one of the bright spots in the troubled PC market. Intel's NUC systems are one of the most popular in this category. The lack of graphic prowess in the NUCs...

The final aspect that we talk about today is pricing. The NUC5i7RYH seems to be available on pre-order for

Powerful Little Unit

I have worked both with the NUC and the BRIX from Gigabyte and, with this gen (based on Intel's 5th gen procs), I prefer the NUCs from Intel over the BRIX for a number of reasons. After putting each together I noticed the construction and layout of the...

Compact, Powerful, Easy Setup, Can Play Games

None, so far

This PC died on me, and this is a common problem

Buy something else.

Ultra small and quiet, high performance for such a tiny size

It seems the Intel NUC PCs are just poorly-made or badly-designed or both. Search Google for Intel NUC won't turn on and you will find over 117,000 results ; My particular NUC died over just over a month of use. It won't turn on at all, and now I'm...

Fantastic Server

30W peak power consumption makes my wallet happy. Probably going to buy another unit.

I bought this as a cheap power efficient server to replace a loud 1U in my closet. I've been running Xenserver on it since day 1 and it's been amazing. Zero performance issues, even running 4 VM's under decent load. Super cool and no noise ; It's...

It uses a mini-hdmi connector and that wasn't mentioned in the newegg spec. Took an additional day to get up and running because I needed to buy an adapter

Too many issues to warrant buying

Its a nice size and is pretty solid

IR does not work, bios access issues, really serious boot issues where it just won't pick up the boot device, strangely dependant on what TV or monitor its plugged into to actually work. Check the forums and you will see many people with these sorts of...

Perfect HTPC

As the device is available for longer, driver support in Linux distributions will become more common and thus an even easier setup for a novice user. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone looking to do HTPC, home compute, or even...

Small form factor, easy installation, and excellent BIOS functionality. Excellent power for the size and heat. I find the fan is never noticeable in ambient environment sounds, and even less when used in conjunction with home theater. SSD fits in the...

I had to use a later version of Ubuntu because drivers are not yet available for the Iris as of 07/12/2015. You need to get the fastest 1866 ram you can find. It is worth the small difference in price, but should still be noted. I would not recommend...
