***** Hey Daron - Just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be able provide a full i3 vs i5 review as my i3 unit has suddenly stopped working! Working with the returns/replacement policy but I wanted to give you a heads up that although the review I promised (about 2 months ago lol) still isn't up - it's unlikely I'll have one now due to this issue. Apologies - hopefully you can still find other interesting videos on my channel! :)
Hi! Thanks for this very informative video. I have laptop 2.5 inch hdd, which will fit in the i5 model that I have bought, my concern is will the system boot from that old hdd? I have windows 8 running on dual core processor with 2 gb ram in old laptop hdd.
The Tech Chap TV Also the drive that I am talking about is not empty it has old laptop's information in it still! Would i have to format it or it will work without formatting?
Glauco Chiyaki Sesta Hi! The RYK has the smaller chassis size, but you are limited to the M.2 storage. The RYH has the larger (taller) chassis size, but provides for expanded storage via a HDD/SSHD/SSD. Which you choose is entirely dependent upon your intended usage & storage needs. So identical other than the RYH is bigger and can fit more traditional hard drives.
+Liam Hanmore you can do either. Its optimised for 64 i suppose as you can install 2 dimms of ram (depending on the size of each stick you could have 32gb for example)
+guily6669 That day is nearly here - the new Windows 10 phones coming in the next month or so have this very ability, to dock with a monitor and become 'almost' full desktops! It was announced at the most recent Microsoft conference where they unveiled it alongside the new Surface Book.
+The Tech Chap TV Yeah, I saw it. It looks cool, I wish I had one, but I'm stuck with my quad core android phone which suck, I don't see what's so good on android for everyone to talk about it. Hell even my desktop turns on faster and I open 10 or more web pages in the time android would be asking the pin
Still waiting for your i3 and i5 comparison. Thank you! Great video.

The Tech Chap Hey! No worries about the video.. thanks for all ya great videos
Great vid. Which wireless keyboard and mouse are you using and how well do they work with the NUC?
Skott62 Thanks! I used these two goo.gl/RQrK5J
They worked well!
Thanks for fast unboxing.... that should be a standard for these videos.
David Valdivieso Cheers i'll bear that in mind for future videos!
Great tutorial, thanks. One question. Does this device has a fan installed? Is it noisy?
Where's the follow-up comparison video you promised of the i3 vs i5 NUC, huh!?

+purnima anand Np glad you enjoyed it! Yes it should boot no problem :) Would highly recommend investing in an SSD though
The Tech Chap TV Ok! Thanks!

You thinking about getting the intel compute stick anytime soon?
pommy192 Yep - I'll be giving it a go pretty soon!
Hello there! Can you please tell what the difference is between the RYK and RYH models (I couldn't figure it out by reading the Intel website)?

Great, thank you for your prompt and comprehensive response!

The Tech Chap TV Any results?

64 bit or 32 bit ?
Depends in what OS you install, that's where you choose 32 or 64.
is the hardware meant for 32 bit or 64 bit?
+Liam Hanmore you can do either. Its optimised for 64 i suppose as you can install 2 dimms of ram (depending on the size of each stick you could have 32gb for example)
Ok thanks ill sub 2 u :)

Blake Bias yes, for example minecraft
