    Blows Mac Mini away...

    Blows Mac Mini away...
    Having owned an Intel i5 NUC since 2015, I was looking for an i7 model to attach to the back of a monitor in my office. At first I considered only small-form-factor (SFF) computers with discrete graphics cards: Intel's Hades and Diablo Canyon NUCs, PCs from Shuttle, Zotac, etc. Ultimately, the issue came down to whether it was worth an additional $1000 to have a discrete graphics card on a VESA-mounted-to-the-monitor PC.The cost of a small-form-factor PC with a discrete GPU is high. You'll spend $2000-plus for a moderately powerful PC . So do you need a discrete graphics card? If so, and cost is no object, consider Intel's Hades Canyon or one of the lesser-known manufacturers. For most gamers a smaller gaming desktop will serve better at much lower cost.If you're looking for a tiny PC to run as a home media server, this could be your machine. There is a bit of intermittent fan noise, but it's almost unnoticeable.Initially, I wanted a PC with discrete GPU for photo editing. Photoshop is one of the few non-gaming applications to benefit from fast graphics. But the cost of a small-form-factor PC with a discrete graphics card finally turned me to this little machine, and I'm happy with the purchase.When I bought this, Amazon had it on sale for $360. In addition to the NUC, I bought a 1TB M.2 SSD for one slot, a second 1TB SATA SSD for the second larger enclosure, two 16GB sticks of RAM (for 32GB total ) and Windows 10 Pro from an online source. Total cost was under $900. I attached the NUC to my monitor via a VESA mounting bracket (included in the package from Intel).It's a fast little machine--seemingly as fast with Photoshop as my SurfaceBook with discrete GPU. The m.2 drive blazes, and because there's a Thunderbolt 3 port, I was able to transfer files with blazing speed.Honestly, at the price I'm not sure I could have done much better in a desktop with equivalent specs.One final note: I considered the Apple Mini, but it's not in the same ballpark as this cost-wise. A Mac Mini i5 with 8Gb of RAM and a 256GB SSD is $1099. That's a lesser processor, one-quarter the RAM and one-eighth the storage for $300 more. Add the options necessary to make the Mac Mini equal to the machine I put together (8th gen i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD) and the price on the Apple Store is $3299! Don't believe me? Check it out yourself--and that's a Mac Mini with Intel's UHD630 graphics rather than this computer's Iris Plus Graphics 655.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Small but Powerful Mini PC
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018
    This mini PC is definitely worth my money as it delivers more power than I expected. It is easy to install and has various IO ports and runs smoothly. Note that the i5 8259u used in this model is even more powerful than i3-8100! I noticed that on the benchmark websites before I made the purchase. And there has been a YouTube video comparing this NUC 8th gen i5 with hackintosh build against the i3 Mac Mini 2018. It shows that this smaller intel PC is even more powerful than the Mac mini! In some applications the NUC is almost 35% faster than the Mac mini.

    The cooling is ok. You can’t expect it to be as cool and quiet as a custom PC with a high TDP cooler. But it does a good job and the temperature looks reasonable. It is around 36 Celsius when idle, around 55 Celsius when running light weighted applications. And the highest temperature is around 80 Calcius for intensive computation tasks (when the fan noise becomes significant). I don’t see an obvious throttling issue, and usually it runs at almost full turbo boost speed (3.7GHz).

    In one word, I really love this mini computer and find it really capable and competent for my need. The only pity is that the price dropped by $40 one week after I bought it.
