    Keep in mind this is a bare bones Nuc.
    No HD or ram included from what I can tell.

    • Danny441 on 27/02/2017 - 14:53
      +1

      Correct, as with most NUCs, this is barebones and you will need to supply your own RAM, HDD and Operating System.
      Note that this NUC only supports 1x SODIMM DDR3L 1.35V.

      • cobalt on 27/02/2017 - 22:53

        Has anybody found a good price on compatible RAM? I'm looking for 8GB.
        Compatibility list is here: http://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/boards-and…

        I'm having difficulty finding many suppliers of these particular models, and what I see is more expensive than I expected.

        • Danny441 on 27/02/2017 - 23:34

          How much is 'more expensive than expected' ?
          Futu via eBay is selling the Kingston KVR16LS11/8 for $90 and the other eBay 20% voucher brings that down to $72, which is a reasonable price considering the current shortages.
          Honestly, most applications will only require 4GB, so consider if 8 is really necessary. The 4GB Kingston sticks are about $36 with the current eBay sales.

        • bargaino on 28/02/2017 - 05:43

          Then get 4GB. Even 2GB is usually plenty for most purposes on one of these. You are not going to be running VMs.

        • james2k on 28/02/2017 - 12:32

  • Make it so on 27/02/2017 - 14:45

    Maybe I don't understand correctly, but if it has HDMI 1.4, are you sure it can have "4K video support"?

    • Danny441 on 27/02/2017 - 14:48

      HDMI v1.4 supports 4K Video at 24FPS, HDMI v2 can support 4K Video at higher framerates, eg 50 or 60.

      • Grok on 27/02/2017 - 14:57

        The new 7th Gen NUCs have rendered all the previous models obsolete as a media player with their HDMI 2.0 port.

        With good Full HD TV sets becoming scarce why would an enthusiast buy a NUC that can't handle 4k properly?

        • Raynes on 27/02/2017 - 15:01

          It can handle 4K @24FPS, perfect for video media. Why would you require any higher framerates @ 4K?

        • rhangman on 27/02/2017 - 15:07

          Could also just buy an ODroid C2. Cheaper, smaller, supports Plex and Kodi, HDMI 2.0, 4k hardware decoding, HDMI CEC, etc.

          HEVC encoded 4K video (3840×2160, 30 fps, 80 Mbps) is handled fine, with the CPU ~40%

          HEVC encoded 4K video at 60fps is a step to far for this machine, and can't be outputted via HDMI anyway.

          @BTRaynes:

          24FPS is too slow, a NUC can turn a TV into a PC with a 4K display, why would you want such slow frame rates on everything you do and watch?

          @SamR:

          you do know that since the beginning of time every single movie you have seen has been shot in 24 fps. A movie and a game do not share the same qualities.

        • Raynes on 27/02/2017 - 17:52

          @SamR:
          What 4K@60fps media are you watching?
          Are you referring to 4K@60fps games on this mini PC?

        • sween64 on 27/02/2017 - 17:59

          @BTRaynes: No way you can game at 4K on an i3 with on board graphics.

        • Raynes on 27/02/2017 - 18:51

          @sween64:
          That's my point.

          Wooosh!!

        • jonathonsunshine on 28/02/2017 - 04:44

          @SamR: agree in that 24fps is kinda too slow for general computer usage. And a lot of sd/hd is 30hz which looks terrible at 24.

          You'd wanna run it at 1080/60 most of the time i think.

        • Grok on 28/02/2017 - 12:22

          @jonathonsunshine:

          "You'd wanna run it at 1080/60 most of the time i think."

          Then you are at the mercy of how your 4K TV handles the resampling, most would be good but all?

          Then you would have to change resolution to 4K to watch a movie but only if it was encoded at 24fps. Most if not all people would just run it at 1080p/60 and not be even aware of it.

          This NUC is pretty cheap so the point is probably moot but if you are going to splash some serious cash on an i3 or i5 NUC why not spend a little more and buy a 7the Gen with HDMI 2.0?

        • netsurfer on 28/02/2017 - 20:43

          HDMI 1.4 is capable of 4K BUT @30Hz max.
          HDMI 2.0 is capable of doing 4K@60Hz.

          And the "misinformation" about 7th gen NUCs HDMI 2.0 rendering all previous models obsolete. That's not true. The 6th gen NUCs can do 4K@60Hz, you just need a mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 cable (a decent one which actually supports 60Hz). The 7th gen one has HDMI 2.0 which means you don't need the special cable. There is actually more to the 7th gen NUC making it better as a media player (but that has more to do with better hardware encoding support).

        • bargaino on 28/02/2017 - 21:00

          @netsurfer:

          HDMI 1.4 is capable of 4K BUT @30Hz max.

          Does this depend on the TV? Is it possible that particular TVs require hdmi 2.0 for UHD, even though it is theoretically possible with 1.4?

        • netsurfer on 28/02/2017 - 21:35

          @manic: If your TV supports 4K@30fps, then HDMI 1.4 is okay (the TV should since a lot of 4K movies are 24/25fps). For media consumption, 30fps is okay for most people. Anyway, the CPU+GPU is incapable of handling 4K@60fps so there is no point of this particular NUC to have HDMI 2.0 (tests have shown that it struggled to decode 4K/60fps videos). HDMI 2.0 is required for 4K HDR.

          The biggest issue with this NUC is the CPU (for me anyway).

        • Grok on 01/03/2017 - 10:57

          @netsurfer:

          Mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 cables seem to be finicky and have issues from my quick "research".

          My point about "obsolete" was for enthusiasts, why not spend $100 more on a 7th Gen and minimise all the issues? You will save a large part of that just in not requiring a special cable.

        • netsurfer on 01/03/2017 - 12:21

          @SamR: If you are buying an i3 or i5 or i7 NUC, obviously, you would normally choose the latest gen. If you have a 4K HDR TV, then HDMI 2.0 is important (if the mini display port to HDMI 2.0 is an issue).

          However, this 7th gen NUCs mainly just address some HTPC issues. Also, only i3 ones are available right now. Performance wise, the increase is minimal (with only i3 benchmark results available right now. Hopefully, i5 with an improved GPU will be better).

          The HDMI 2.0 support for the 7th gen NUC isn't native. This is from the NUC blog:

          The Kaby Lake SoC does not support HDMI 2.0 natively, but instead Intel has added a LSPCon that will convert the DisplayPort signal to HDMI 2.0.

          Bottom line, if you have the 6th gen NUC, you really need to think twice about upgrade to the 7th gen NUC. Kaby Lake's performance boost is minimal (compared to the 5th gen to 6th performance boost). The HDMI 2.0 support in 7th gen isn't native either (it's via DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 conversion).

        • Grok on 01/03/2017 - 13:19

          @netsurfer:

          I agree on all your points.

          My point though was about a new purchase, I would not even update a 4th Gen NUC HTPC unless I had insurmountable 4K TV issues.

  • Rumbaar on 27/02/2017 - 14:54

    So would have to purchase storage and OS?

    So a Roku device would be more cost effective, for media streaming?

    • scrimshaw on 27/02/2017 - 14:59

      It needs DDR3L SODIMM RAM ($30~40)
      and a storage medium (could be a thumb drive, SD card or a 2.5" drive)
      That is the bare minimum for a working system

      You don't need to purchase an OS, as there are dozens of free open source options to choose from.

      and yes, Roku boxes typically go for $100 or less… Mibox for e.g is a great option if you want to just stream 4k content without frame drops, and if you want some kind of console-quality gaming there's the Nvidia Shield.

    • Danny441 on 27/02/2017 - 15:02

      Correct.
      If it's just for streaming with Roku supported apps, that would be cheaper. An Intel NUC is generally used when you want to start using KODI or similar, which supports Local Content very well.

    • syousef on 27/02/2017 - 15:06

      Talk to me when Roku supports SMB shares. I have found DLNA to be a nightmare with a large library across the network.

      • Rumbaar on 27/02/2017 - 15:40

        Yeah, I use EMBY for my media delivery. Which works at the app level on multiple devices, including Roku.

        DLNA is last resort, for any content streaming. But that being said, EMBY as a DLNA server also can help a lot with library management.

    • MasterScythe on 27/02/2017 - 17:00

      for purely media streaming? You're right.

      But with this, its a full mini PC.

      And those things you list (storage, ram, and OS) can be gotten for free from a broken laptop.
      The OS isn't exactly legit that way, but you can use a Linux OS.
      Ubuntu is super 'user friendly' now for web based content and media, I use it on all my elderly clients PC's.

    • jonathonsunshine on 28/02/2017 - 04:46

        That's neat.
        Last time I tried to do anything like that, I had up to 3 seconds delay between skipping tracks, and over 20 seconds initial cataloging each time I start the car.

        Totally unacceptable really.

        Kenwoods seem to manage best, I get about a 10 second catalog and 1 second between track skips, but it's still no winamp instant skip…..

    just got these for $4 more last week with the LOVE20 code… if you're using it as HTPC, be aware that there's interference with the USB 3.0 ports and the logitech receivers. It can be fixed with an extension though, which unfortunately, is a bit unsightly.
