Intel Grass Canyon NUC BOXNUC5PGYH0AJR Desktop with HDMI, VGA, Intel HD Graphics, USB 3.0

This is a great little computer for $248 that I paid for it. Keep in mind this comes with an entry level processor, the Pentium N3700. Its faster than a Celeron, but still considered entry-level. Also, it only comes with 2gb of RAM, so if you plan to do more than just basic computing (web browsing and word processing) then I recommend you upgrade to 8gb which is very inexpensive. I purchased an 8gb RAM stick for $25! There is only 1 slot for RAM so you won't be adding to the existing 2gb, you'll be replacing it. 8gb is the max the system will take (but that's plenty). 64 bit Windows 10 OS pre-installed. Only 32gb of storage but I added a 512 SSD. Its very easy to add an external hard drive it just slips in to a slot at the top. No experience is necessary to perform this upgrade. Also includes VESA mounting hardware so you can mount the computer to the back of your monitor so it literally takes up no space at all! (See image for illustration) You won't even know its there! This computer is fast, efficient, small,and affordable. It is slightly faster than most entry level processors, and is plenty fast for the price. However if you plan to do a lot resource intensive things like photo/video editing, web site design, gaming etc I may suggest you look elsewhere (like an Intel i5 or i7 or a Mac). But for 75% of the worlds population this computer is more than adequate. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I've known and trusted Intel for decades so I knew that the quality and innovation would be there. I wish that I'd thought a bit more about the 32G. ssd, though..I've doubled the ram (cannibalized from the laptop that I had to replace) and added a 1T Hdd..I'm using the nuc at this moment. I've migrated Windows on to the new Hdd but, my one frustration is that I can't seem to find the right way to eliminate it from the original 32G..so that I can update properly and boot from the new drive..oh well..it's a challenge.

Just unboxed it a few days ago so still setting up, but main thing to note: this SKU does NOT come with SATA and power cables. You have to use Intel's special cables though, due to space constraints within the case. You can get them free by going to [...]. I'm also running into a problem where the mSSD isn't recognized by Windows Hyper-V Server after OS install, but that should be resolved by just installing the OS to the 1TB SATA I bought.

A couple of complaints first.1. No SATA/POWER CABLES IN THE BOX TO CONNECT A 2.5" HDD2. When I attempted (CAREFULLY) to remove the 2 GB SODIMM to install a 4 GB SODIM, one of the plastic retainer arms snapped off. I wound up using a piece of tape to make sure the SODIMM stayed put.So not an auspicious beginning. I made sure to do the first large updates (Build 1511 Upgrade) right away so there would be enough space on the 32 GB boot drive to do them. The little NUC seems peppy enough for everyday computing tasks but is no gaming box by any means. It will do Minecraft, however. If Intel comes through with the cables in prompt fashion, I might bump the review up one star.

I purchased this item a month ago and it is doing the entry level PC job pretty well, you will be required to leverage it by 8Gb RAM and an SSD/HDD if you want to get the most of this box.This machine comes with preinstalled Windows 10 home on internal slow eMMC storage. It was a headache to install Windows 10 on SSD disk that I purchased separately due to uEFI boot enabled in bios. So my tip would be the following: from BIOS disable uEFI boot and enable legacy boot instead + disable internal eMMC, do all this BEFORE reinstalling Windows OS on attached SSD/HDD disk, otherwise your disk will not boot.Note that you will be required to return to its original settings if you want at some point to boot from eMMC (i.e. your original OS installation).Overall the device provides great performance - powerful video streaming and other tasks for home use.

Installed Debian on the eMMC, put /home on a 2TB spinner replaced the 2GB Ram with an 8 and this is a great Kodi box for me. Enough power to Handbrake and sips juice. Great all around home computer as long as you are not a gamer.

We use these units to interface with cash register systems. We don't need a lot of power but we need them to be rock solid stable and work 24/7/365. These Intel units fill the bill. Set it and forget it stable.

I have just set it up and works very well. Easy set up and love the App interface via BT for alt keyboard and mouse. Does not have lots of extra junk SW which is great. Just the basics and works well. Like the nice compact box. Well thought out and designed.

This product is easy to setup and easy to use. It is very fast and works well with any mouse or keyboard.It comes with Windows 10 home was already installed making it very easy to start work right away.

L'appareil est vendu avec 32Go de disque SSD avec Win10 préinstallé. Il ne reste plus que 27 Go sur le disque 13Go occupés par Win10. Après mise à jour des pilotes Intel, l'occupation du disques est montée à 19Go. La mise à jour de Win10 a nécessité 20Go de disque libre pour s'installer alors qu'il n'en restait que 27-19=8Go !

一応ベアボーンキット扱いですが、追加パーツ無しでそのまま使えます（マウス、KBは要りますが）VESAマウントキットも付属しているのでテレビ裏に付きます。裏側で作動しているため、ファンの音も聞こえません。処理能力も問題なく、メモリーとSSD増やせば写真現像程度ならこなせますね。今現在メモリー8GBに増やして、使ってなかったSSDをデータ用に増設して快適そのものです。電源ボタンだけは押した感触が無く、表示もTV裏で見えないため、少々不便ですね。

事務所でscansnapでの取込と、スキャンデータをevernoteへ同期するために使用しています。メモリとストレージは変更していません。ネットワークドライブにデータを保存しているため、まだ12GBほど空き容量があるのでこのまま使えそうです。CPU性能が低く、メモリも少ないため、メインマシンに比べるとスキャンの処理が遅いですが、スピードは求めていないのでさほど苦になりません。常時起動の状態で1ヵ月ほど使っていましたらフリーズしましたが、その後一定間隔で再起動するようにしたら問題なく動いています。用途を限ったスピードを求めない処理用には省スペースで安価で最適だと思います。

屋内の廊下で使っています。ほこりが多少気になったのですが、問題なく使えています。最初ほこりを防ごうと箱に穴をあけて使っていた所、熱により少し調子が悪くなりました。後からそれが原因とわかりはずしたところ、ほこりは問題なく無事使えています。毎日７時から１９時でコンスタントに動かしています。長期的にこれで使えています。
