Intel NUC 7 Enthusiast A Mini PC with Windows 10 Intel Core i7 2TB HDD 32GB Optane Memory 8GB DDR4 Gunmetal (BOXNUC7i7BNHXG)

I got the i7 Optane version and I found that it would have been better to get the SSD version... the Optane works very good though with an older type hard drive that spins which came in my NUC... it started up fast but not much speed on other things that would use the hard drive... so I disabled the Optane and put in a SSD... that makes a huge difference and it's very fast all the time now... I was confused about the Turbo Boost feature and was told by Intel that it's built into the CPU and does not require the Turbo Boost software like one of my other PC's.. it has to be enabled in Bios though.. you should update the Bios soon as you can after starting it up and there is an update for it at Intel... it has a Thunderbolt port on the rear that can be used for booting external USB drives and again, you have to enable it in the Bios... I included a photo for size comparison and in the photo is this NUC and the fan for my desktop CPU... the NUC is very small but powerful..

Working great. Small, powerful and runs much cooler than I expected. If you looking for a small tiny PC with power and storage and dependability, this is the one.

Purchased this for my RV while out of state on Contract. Actually, did a lot of work on it for my contract and also for personal use. Worked great for about a year, then started to get Overheat Warning until the Hard drive failed. Sent it in under warranty, first replacement again had overheat issues. Returned the replacement and received a third unit, it also starts having overheat issues. It limps along but I can not depend on it to do any meaningful work. It is a VERY compact design and I think that the heat management is under designed for an i7 chip. In order to get the compact design they used a thin heatsink, this small fan that does not move enough air if the heat sink is not properly attached to the chip. I was lucky the first unit lasted as long as it did. There is no room to add additional cooling fans. I am going to go with a mini profile computer next where I can add additional cooling fans to blow air over the heat sink.

Very nice computer. But you MUST update it on intel.com (very simple) either it work slowly.

I freaked my wife out with this little box. She thought she was getting a tower and when she opened it on Christmas morning she looked at me like I was pulling a joke on her. It was easy to set up and is fast and quiet! I'm going to get one for myself when I have the cash and you will need it because these are not cheap. Get one if you have the cash, you won't be sorry. It's a workhorse pc not a gamer!

Arrived DOA, But It's not my First NUC to Buy. It's the first DOA. But for the money, I decided to go with a ITX build instead.I would have liked to see this unit run at its full potential though. A shame!

Product received with expired Master key. Contacted Intel but they are saying reach out to merchant. Product not as described could not download any software from Intel website.

I bought this for a friend to be the backbone of a 4 camera security system. The only thing running on this box is Windows and Blue Iris with 4 POE cameras attached. Even without Blue Iris running this thing will freeze whenever it wants to. It is the most frustrating thing to spend this kind of money on something that constantly freezes. The part that is even more frustrating is that the security system is located at their lake place which is almost an hour away. So you get the thing running and before you can get home it is no longer online because it has frozen. So yet another almost hour trip to get it back up and running only to drive an hour back to find that is is not online again. The distance makes troubleshooting virtually impossible. I have updated BIOS, drivers, etc. I have tried to disable different things all with the same result. Sometimes it will work fine for hours and sometimes it will freeze before it can even fully boot up. I am going to have to cough up the money to buy them a new machine so that I can personally own this little block of frozen junk. I don't have a use for it at my place, but I cannot leave their lake place unprotected. I would not recommend this to anyone and if you are in the market for a Nuc, I would strongly suggest you look closely at reviews and work it hard in the beginning and if it freezes once, do not think you can fix it. Return it before you cannot return it anymore.

SCRIVEVO: "Le caratteristiche sulla carta sono ottime ma poi - le porte sono messe male: solo 2 usb sul fronte, se metti mouse e tastiera sono finite - la porta audio davanti impiccia - appena fatto aggiornamento si è cancellato il programma per gestione video intel: reinstallato ok ma poi facendo tri aggiornamenti si blocca tutto - scalda molto DOPO POCHI MESI... Pessimo acquisto, lentissimo, si spegne senza motivo, scheda video che va a scatti ed assolutamente instabile

Los mejor en tamaño, precio y rendimiento. Veloz, tamaño reducido, versátil y además con software variado incluido de forma gratuita

Great little unit. Lots of power. Initially planned to stick 16or 32GB of RAM straight away... but after 6 weeks of use... I'm kinda happy with the 8GB. The Optane helps greatly I'm sure. Will need to increase RAM when I start adding VM's but for just one instance of Windows the 8GB is more than fine...even using Chrome as browser. Hardware is great. Small. Solidly built. Well laid out. So compact and tiny. This is my first home Windows machine in 10+ years, replacing an old 27" iMac and loving it all so far.. on 32" inch screen.

Al inicio excelente!! A la semana se congelaba la imagen y ya no funcionó por lo que la devolví. Gracias.
