This Intel® Next Unit of Computing PC is powered by a 5th generation Intel® Core™ i3 processor on a 4-by-4-inch motherboard and enclosed in an Akasa Newton S Solid Aluminium Passive cooling case.
Using an ultra-compact design the Intel® NUC packages a fully scalable, computing solution in the smallest possible form factor. This new generation computing device provides a flexible, customizable engine to drive digital signage, kiosks, and intelligent computing for small spaces, or anywhere else you can imagine.
With a solid state SSD disk drive, and being totally fanless, there are no moving parts. No noise, just total silence.
With no fan or air vents there is no build up of dust inside, so zero maintenance is needed. The large passive cooling surface enables the CPU to run at 100% continually without overheating.
The HDMI port on the NUC uses the small mini-HDMI connector. If you need a mini-HDMI to HDMI lead, please select from the options. We also have adaptors for VGA or DVI ports in the options list.
We can configure this unit with up to 1TB SSD or 2TB HDD and 16GB DDR3 Memory. Combinations of M.2 SSD and SSD/HDD are also possible, so you could have an M.2 SSD for the system drive, and a large hard drive for storage of media.
Please contact us if you want a custom configuration not in the options lists. We can also pre-install with Windows or other Operating Systems.
If you choose the Windows installation option, as well as installing on the internal SSD drive, so it is ready to use out of the box, we also include a USB memory stick with the Windows installation, so you can repair Windows or rebuild Windows from scratch if you need to. You also get the standard Windows DVD and licence key sticker.
You need to supply your own Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. Please contact us if you need any recommendations or want custom additions bundled with your order.
