your comment about why a 120 W power brick got me to thinking. back of the napkin power budget: 2 x TB4 at max Power Delivery = 30 W i7-1360P @ turbo = 65 W Gen4 SSD = 3-4 W 4 x USB Type A at max power = 20 W Yeah, that little box can use the power.
The NUC has one particular positive for me, and admittedly it might be a bit niche. My workflow requires I use a Mac, so I have a Mac Mini Pro; my wife however, pathologically hates MacOS and prefers windows, so she has a i7 NUC. So on our desk we have both machines and dual monitors, thunderbolts go to the Mac, HDMI's to the NUC. Just pop the required wireless keyboard and mouse out of the desk drawer, plus the power button on whichever machine you need, and away you go. Two tiny computers and a tidy workspace. Works for us!
Still blows my mind how small PCs have become. I started on a Tandy PC back in the early 90s with HDDs that were 4x bigger and 10x heavier than this thing.
I love these little things. We don't have an IT person at our location so we send everything to corporate for repairs. These are easy to tear down and ship. Super convenient.
Just bought this for a great price in Germany to replace my aging laptop used to work from home. As I have almost never used the screen, made no sense to get another laptop. This has more than enough power to my use and it is so small that I can take with me as backup instead of my heavy laptop. I didn't understand why was this so cheap (411 Euros), for what I remember Intel NUCs were so expensive in the past!
Pretty much every factory floor computer I've seen recently has a Nuc.. it's basically just enough computing to be a terminal and to handle some runlog and tool interface functionality. Great for when you just need to have a computer station!
Everything is great about the NUC except for the fan noise. It's nearly on all the time. The fan frequently ramps up even when opening folders during very light load.
Same - searching madly for spare fan or some new intel nuc of 10th gen i3 (was available under 150 dollars all in) to salvage parts as intel nuc is discontinued and honestly want my new 13 gen to work for over 10 years. Heard their fans alone are too pricey,
ooo thanks for another great review, Lisa! I was waiting for the next NUC to come out, but it somehow slipped under my radar, so I'm glad your review was suggested as usual ^_^
One thing I love about the Intel NUCs are the easy access to the RAM & SSD. Such a clean and fast setup. The only other competitor is the Beelink brand for easy and clean spec access. Miniforum UM690 is nice for gaming at home, but I wouldn't want to use it for small business with over 10+ employees. Too slopy with sticky corners.
Shame they removed the microSD card slot on the side, I use it on my NUC. I hope they bring it back with 14 Pro. I really like the NUC formfactor and design
if it would be powered by type c it could replace laptop = powerbank + NUC + portable display & keyboad & mouse = and you can work from any table anywhere.
I've never owned a NUC because I tend to go with other brands of mini PCs. But I've considered one of these for my father. He's in his 70s now, doesn't game, and just wants something to run the latest Windows on. Oh, bhphotovideo carries NUCs and tends to have good prices on them.
I've bought several of the Beelink versions off of Amazon and they work great. Set up two for my mother who is in her mid-60's and one for my mother-in-law, who's in her 70's and not very tech savvy.
Never been an apple fan but i bought a mini m1 and put windows on Mega fast can do video editing no problem makes me wonder why i did not do this earlier 2 systems in one mega fast
Been looking for a back up comp, other than my laptop which seems to be in constant use just not by me, that can keep me on the internet in case my mid tower develops problems. These mini's seem like they will fit the bill. P.S. Subscribed!!
Always marvel the "C" suites who chuck a good idea out the window, then announce they're looking for the "next big thing" they've never done before, such as EVs and robots.
SUGGESTION: I would really appreciate it if you could make a video about using a hardware key with iPhone, iPad, Mac. I read another horror story on Macrumors that has me thinking about upping my security game, but I can’t find a decent video that answers 2 question; 1. Do you need the key every time you unlock the phone? 2. Can you use your pass code for the phone to reset the Apple ID password? 3. Are there other problems with using the keys, other than losing them? Everyone wants to show you all the different keys, and how to set them up, but not if they actually work.
Here in Europe the barebones NUC 13 Pro i5 tall variant is priced at about 450 EUR. That's about $500 USD. Probably the ONE thing that is cheaper here than in the US.
@@joshpayne4015 Got mine, i5, barebone for 525 € in Romania. But I've notice some variants have i5 alder lake and others raptor lake. I've got the raptor one
I've had 3 NUCs. It's a great computer concept but as mentioned, dedicated graphics isn't part of the package. So it's not a great photo and video editing box. But... I have moved on to an Apple Studio and it is much better. That's not and apples-to-apples comparison, but the Mac Mini is a suitable comparison.
The funny thing is that the new x86 handheld gaming devices are coming out at around this price, with Windows included. If you could just dock that thing with extra ports to an external monitor, you’ll have both a gaming handheld and a mini pc.

Can I power the nuc with the same usbc I use for the monitor? I have a Dell monitor which powering my laptop and I have 1 cable solution for data and power . Is this possible?
Intel boxes make a lot of sense in business settings because of the support and build quality. Home users are better off looking at a cheap Ryzen box like a Beelink; quieter, better for gaming and an awful lot cheaper
Please Mr Intel, put two ethernet ports on them. Please Mr Apple watch this video and realise how your Mac-Minis could be so much better for ease of memory and storage upgrades.

Great review Lisa!
Do you know, the muffin man?
The muffin man? The muffin man!

I love the form factor only wish I could find one for gaming that doesn't cost an arm and leg
There are lots of other companies offering the same (if not more), for less money

Very Professional and Very Nice at the same time!
They had SD card connector on a side, so I liked the previous generation more.
Server the Home tested it and under load it will exceed 90 watts, thus the 120 watt power supply.
Shame they removed the microSD card slot on the side, I use it on my NUC. I hope they bring it back with 14 Pro. I really like the NUC formfactor and design
Do you really need it? buy a $3 USB reader if you really need it..
There will be no NUC 14 except if Asus does something about it
if it would be powered by type c it could replace laptop = powerbank + NUC + portable display & keyboad & mouse = and you can work from any table anywhere.
That was the only missing point. But now they discontinued the whole NUC - a shame!
Love the ports. Is there a good second market for these types of NUCs in 18 to 24 months?
Wish nucs had two nics...It would be the perfect home lab machine! I think one of the older models did
USB ethernet adapters are cheap
NUC i7-1360P vs i7-1260P - what's better? Or is there no significant difference?
Are there two radio bands on this unit? I don't think I heard anything on this... probably blinked. Thanks

I have intel 10th gen NUC, fan comes on during idle. Over heat toaster. If you get one of these you need cooling solution.
I’m excited for the first NUC with TB5. That will change the game!

So if it has two M.2 slots, I can put a smaller card in for the OS, and the other larger slot for the main storage?
That's funny, I said "Oh snap" today when I saw snap the company stock tank 13% after earnings 😂
What world are you living in? Intel stock was up 4% yesterday
Is it still no USB-C PD port, right?
I love NUCs.
So did I, until intel pulled the plug on the NUC division.
Imo, This kind of PC would be useful if it came with battery with atleast 5 hrs of backup, then it would be able to replace most laptop needs.
Except the laptop has a portable display, who's going to carry displays around, Lol,
This lady is cool as hell.
Love the shirt!
why watts? pd and monitors
that power supply's size really defeats the form factor.
nope
This won't really be "portable" until it comes with the option to be poweed by a USB-C laptop charger.
what price ? en Français please
❤❤❤❤❤
They got the form factor just need to get the price down.
Is it support 2 4k 27 inch monitor?
My NUC8 I7 can’t,
I had to reduce resolution bc BUS can’t handle that much graphic data with shared memory using Linux
