原文:I've been on the fence deciding to buy this kit since it was introduced earlier this year. More rightly so due to the added cost of memory and the NVMe drive (neither of which I had on hand). At that neighborhood, one might consider a laptop with the same processor, right? Yup, I decided to buy t
he 2018 Dell 15 2-in-1 first because everything is already integrated. I still kept thinking about the Intel NUC even after I got the laptop. Don't get me wrong...It's a great laptop. So, what do I think of this NUC?I absolutely LOVE it! It's small. It's quiet. The BIOS options are insane! Excellent multi-system/console emulation performance. Hackintosh works - kinda. It's well built - it's deceiving heavy because of that. It's energy efficient - Wemo Insight tells me it draws 30W at idle (take it for what it is worth). It has a slew of ports. It blows away all the other computers/laptops I own. Yes surprisingly that includes the Dell 15 2-in-1 with the same processor. Unless you're coming from a top of the line gaming PC, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised what this unit has to offer.I highly recommend it!UPDATE: 8/16/2018I’ve been using the NUC as my primary workstation for the last few weeks. I still have absolutely no regrets buying it. I did upgrade the wireless card with a Intel 9260-AC with Bluetooth 5 since the unit came with an older one. New card cost about $25 or so (no biggie). It was plug and play. Windows 10 detected it without any issues. Love it (FYI you can’t upgrade the wireless on the Dell 2 in 1).Fan noise? Don’t let it deter you from buying it. My desktop with an Nvidia GTX was much louder than this one. The only difference was that the desktop was under my desk which muffled some of the fan noise. I have the Intel nuc sitting between my two monitors now. It’s not as bad as most people/reviewers make it seem. If you want to play AAA game titles and want the NUC to be whisper quiet, you best look into a water-cooled desktop. Expect a little fan noise under load and you’ll be fine.UPGRADABILITYOther than the NVMe, memory, and wireless card, there’s not much you can upgrade. I personally don’t think that is a negative. Just buy the max memory from the get-go and upgrade the wireless/NVMe when prices come down. I looked back on all the years (20+ years and being in the IT career)...I’ve rarely had to upgrade much of anything in my devices. When the machine was too slow, I just bought a new one.That leads me to my next point. When you’re ready to upgrade to the next big thing, I can foresee so many uses for this unit. You can reconfigure it as a mini set top box, NAS, firewall, dev box, emulation station, etc. the possibilities are limitless.Other cool features:- you can reassign the LEDs in the front for other functions instead of power, hdd, network. You can set each independently as CPU load, power load, and afew others. Or you turn them all off.- the unit already has a slew of ports on the front and rear. To my surprise, there are more internal connectors in case you want to expand it with a custom DYI case mod. If you have access to a 3D printer, that is certainly a possibility. You’ll need to supply your own cables but they look standard.- having 2 m2 slots for your NVMe drives is super convenient. I have one configured for Linux/OSX and and the other for Windows 10. Switching between the 2 OS is way better than using bootcamp via OSX.I haven’t tried testing vSphere on it. If there’s enough interest, I’ll do it.There’s nothing like this on the market in this form factor. I’m seriously considering buying another just so I can play games in my living room. It’s that good!

译文:自从今年早些时候推出这款产品以来,我一直在犹豫是否购买。更恰当的是,是由于存储器和NVMe驱动器的增加的成本(我手边都没有)。在附近,人们可能会考虑一台具有相同处理器的笔记本电脑,对吗?是的,我决定先买2018年的戴尔152in -1,因为一切都已经整合好了。即使在我买了笔记本电脑之后,我仍然在想英特尔的NUC。别误会我…这是一台很棒的笔记本电脑。我觉得这个NUC怎么样? 我绝对喜欢!它是小的。它是安静的。BIOS选项太疯狂了!优秀的多系统/控制台仿真性能。Hackintosh工作。它建造得很好,因为它具有欺骗性。它是节能的Wemo Insight告诉我它在空闲状态下会产生30W的能量(取其值)。它具有多个端口。它把我所有的其他电脑/笔记本电脑都吹走了。是的,令人惊讶的是,这包括戴尔152in -1处理器相同。除非你是来自顶级的游戏PC,我想你会惊喜的发现这个部门所提供的。 我强烈推荐它! 更新:8/16/2018 在过去的几周里,我一直使用NUC作为我的主要工作站。我仍然毫不后悔买了它。我确实用英特尔9260-AC处理器升级了无线网卡,因为它的处理器是老式的。新卡大约25美元(没有什么大不了的)。它是即插即用的。Windows 10检测到它没有任何问题。喜欢它(顺便说一下,你不能在1英寸的戴尔2上升级无线)。 风扇噪音吗?不要让它阻止你购买它。我的桌面有一个Nvidia GTX,比这个声音大得多。唯一的区别是桌面在我的桌子下面,这掩盖了一些风扇的噪音。我现在把英特尔nuc放在两台显示器之间。这并不像大多数人/评论者说的那么糟糕。如果你想玩AAA级游戏并想让NUC安静下来,你最好看看水冷桌面。在负载下会有一点风扇噪音,你会没事的。 可升级性 除了NVMe、内存和无线卡之外,没有什么可以升级的。我个人不认为这是消极的。只要从一开始就购买最大的内存,并在价格下降时升级无线/NVMe。我回顾了这么多年(20多年,从事IT行业)……我很少需要升级我的设备中的任何东西。当机器太慢时,我只是买了一台新的。 这就引出了我的下一个观点。当你准备升级到下一个重要的东西,我可以预见这个单元有如此多的用途。您可以将其重新配置为一个迷你设置顶部框、NAS、防火墙、开发框、仿真站等,其可能性是无限的。 其他很酷的功能: -你可以重新分配led在前面的其他功能,而不是电力,硬盘,网络。您可以分别将它们设置为CPU负载、电源负载和 其他一些。或者你把它们都关掉。 -该单位已经有一系列港口在前面和后面。让我惊讶的是,如果你想用定制的DYI case mod来扩展它的话,会有更多的内部连接器。你需要自己提供电缆,但它们看起来是标准的。 -有2平方米的槽为你的NVMe驱动器是超级方便的。我有一个配置为Linux/OSX和另一个配置为Windows 10。在两个操作系统之间切换比通过OSX使用bootcamp要好得多。 我还没试过测试vSphere。如果有足够的利息,我就做。 市场上没有这种形式的产品。我正在认真考虑再买一个,这样我就可以在客厅里玩游戏了。那就是好!
