Mistake with NUC and such was focusing on high end market where these boxes cost +$1000 and such. No one with that kind of money is buying a NUC. But making affordable sub $500 boxes that are good enough for their price certainly has customers for. Now that Intel has its own GPU lineup, making new relatively powerful iGPU should also be within the realm of possibility, no?
Yep, I agree. When I did buy one, it was a low-end model (Intel NUC 5 with Celeron) that I originally used as a basic NAS, then for basic tasks (Web browsing and music on a lightweight Linux-based setup), and now serves as a relatively low-end thin client (sort of like in the realm of Dell Wyse 3000 series). If I wanted a high-end PC, I would rather build a custom desktop PC so I could get the expandability I would want. To be fair, I used to use laptops as my main PCs before eventually realising that I should just have a desktop instead and remotely access it from a laptop or tablet when I'm not home and want to run resource-intensive apps.
Third party vendors didn't have intel's diplomatic pricing for their own special products, which means the competitive edge will be more viable without any kind of intel certification royalties

The ammount of times i hear about "we knew it was lead, but decided it cost more than $0 to get rid of it" storys. Is approaching blantant "let them eat lead" levels
It’s because you can’t buy them anywhere. Only Amazon had them consistently available but from strange 3rd party sellers in bundles. They don’t even sell them at Best Buy stores. Not even Intel retailed them from their website. Fail. Unbelievable.
The NUC format absolutely has a lot of benefits, APUs, especially AMD ones have enough graphical performance nowdays that they content with last gen dedicated ones, making a pc case redundant. Intel ones really aren't very appealing though, being more expensive and more limited
I considered them but it was expensive to add all the components to the barebone units. Some Optiplex Micros and Thinkcentre Tinys have similar power but cost less than even the barebone NUCs.... on the used market i mean. If you buy new from Dell it's always like $400 more than the ones on ebay.
Amazon being the largest retailer in the West doesn't quality for being a very large "ONLINE PLATFORM". Not even their AWS business doesn't quality them for being a very large online platform because AWS is for OTHER businesses. So, I get their point. Companies like Google is a VERY LARGE online presence, you know with their Google landing page just like what MSN has, along with mail services, RUclips and other services that people use to sit and pass time on. No, I wouldn't classify Amazon in the same way as Google, Microsoft, META. It's not the same kind of business, with the exception of their streaming services for video. This is going to depend very much on how EU laws are written in this regard. And Govt. officials are sometimes pretty aggressive with their actions only to find out they're wrong.
They drop the NUC when I was finally considering buying the next gen meteor lake NUC. Lol. Excited to see what the mini pcs are going to offer in the next 2 years.

@@TehKaiser True, but the Mac Mini are not upgradable in that you can't swap DIMM modules to expand RAM, or swap NVME or SSD drives for larger capacity drives, or even attach an external GPU.

Intel should create a new Nuc style computer in the style of Apple's M2 processor. Having an APU with a lot of cache and RAM built right in would be tiny and very capable, given how good onboard graphics have become they would make for truly excellent low to mid range gaming systems.
Imo, the main problem with NUCs was, most people who wanted a mini pc, aren't looking for necessarily the most high end device. For NUC money you could get a ryzen APU mini pc with lots of storage. Its just a better deal.

AMD GPUs now have AV1 encoders and they work well, it's just that stupid ASS reviewers only test AMD GPUs in games, or part of them only test gaming performance.
@@johndoh5182 What leads you to think NVIDIA cares about Intel competition in their least profitable market segment? And if they do, why doesn't it extend to AMD's overall much more credible threat to that segment?
@@johndoh5182 "I also think Nvidia wants to kill out Intel from this market and they'll do a bit more for their 5000 series GPUs in the lower and mid range tiers so people will be happy again."
holy shit lmao
That's what they wanted to insinuate so you would click on the video. It's not an accident.
Intel should create a new Nuc style computer in the style of Apple's M2 processor. Having an APU with a lot of cache and RAM built right in would be tiny and very capable, given how good onboard graphics have become they would make for truly excellent low to mid range gaming systems.
well, that's what meteor lake is aiming for, powerful cpu raw power but also Ultra capable Arc integrated graphics
Intel should just put an AMD APU in their NUCS.
Those virtual set frame drops are annoying. Please fix.
Lotta dropped frames at the end?
Yup.
Over in New Zealand the cheapest nuc was over 2000nzd, it just wasn't a viable option for the price.

Imo, the main problem with NUCs was, most people who wanted a mini pc, aren't looking for necessarily the most high end device. For NUC money you could get a ryzen APU mini pc with lots of storage. Its just a better deal.
Is it just me or were the last 2 stories a bit choppy?
