Intel NUC NUC8i7BEH Mini PC/HTPC, Intel Quad-Core i7-8559U Upto 4.5GHz, 16GB DDR4, 128GB SSD, WiFi, Bluetooth, Thunderbolt 3, 4k Support, Dual Monitor Capable, Windows 10 Pro (16GB Ram + 128GB SSD)

I purchased this from e-retailers and it applies only to them. They offer a 3 year warranty which is not practical because the product combines an Intel product with their own added memory, drive. etc. When I had a problem with the NUC itself (no Bluetooth) they told me to deal with Intel directly. That would mean removing the components that they added and I paid for.I asked them to replace the NUC and send the defective one back to Intel. They refused because this item is not in stock. Yet it appears to be in stock today on this page.I asked them to remove their components and send it back to Intel on my behalf. They refused because I need to deal directly with Intel.So, I learned my lesson. While I was asking them for help, I was able to get the Bluetooth running with a driver update, toggling the BIOS Bluetooth setting a couple times and a few cold boots. It is my good fortune that I don't need to take this apart myself and send it back to Intel.Next time, I will just buy the components and do it myself. Buying like this with an impractical warranty is just frustrating.The Intel product is good so 2 stars.

i'm rating this 5-star because now that i've purchased and installed a ssd the nuc works great... however when i first ordered the nuc i mistakenly ordered it with just the 1tb hdd, no ssd, which meant it arrived with windows installed on the 1tb hdd.it's hard for me to believe that in the year 2019 a modern hard drive can be as painfully slow as the 1tb hdd that came with this nuc, it was so ridiculously slow that i was sure something must be wrong with it - but after running a series of hdd tests it passed as perfectly healthy... thing is, even as a storage drive (no os) it's absolutely horrible, moving folders/files to and from it is a joke, so you can imagine how miserably it performed as an os drive.anyway, the 8i7beh is a great box, just make absolutely sure that you select a ssd in the options section... in fact if i had to do it over again i would not have selected a hdd at all, just a sdd, and either purchased an internal hdd elsewhere, or used an external usb hdd which would run circles around the included 1tb hdd.

I bought this specifically to put vmware on it so I could run lab systems. With a little bit of work I was successfully able to do so and this little box is running headless - with nothing but ethernet and power plugged into it.I replaced the HDD so I can't comment on the Windows portion of this system.The only caveat I would offer is with the video. Since it only offers HDMI and USB-C you need to ensure that your monitor has these inputs. I got an adapter and it didn't work but I was able to complete my install by using my TV's HDMI.So far everything is running great and I would highly recommend to someone who has limited space but still wants a powerful machine.

This tiny computer is a power house! I'm absolutely impressed with this Intel NUC unit with one exception- Windows 10. This operating system has issues! Ours thinks it's installed in a laptop. Despite all sleep and power settings our screen times out after 1 minute. One! Annoying when you're trying to cook from a recipe, or do anything at all, that requires you to step away for 1 MINUTE. We have kids. I can barely navigate to the website I'm after w/o being diverted by the kids' needs. Only to come back to the black screen and have to log in all over again. Thankfully the NUC boots up super fast. It's still a frustrating issue. The best solution I've found so far is to keep music playing, which counts as activity, and will then follow our screensaver and power settings. We mounted our NUC onto the wall using its included VESA mounting plate. Located behind the wall-mounted monitor, and using wireless keyboard and mouse, it looks very clean with power outlets hidden behind monitor as well. Very happy with our new home unit w/ minor gripes about the OS.

The short version of the review is that after a week of playing around with various monitor and cable combos it finally was (almost) stable running 2 monitors. As I finally was able to bring the unit online for its 1st real day of work (I am a telecommuiting software developer) about 2 hours in one monitor started blinking, cycling on and off every 3 seconds or so. Shortly thereafter came a blue screen of death, from which it never recovered. This crash was so massive both my USB extender and KMB switch (both have been rock solid dependable for years) started flashing ALL their lights and refused to work until powered off for a solid 10 minutes. The NUC never booted again, EVEN after creating a usb boot drive (which worked on a much smaller NUC I use solely for as a media server)Ugly! Installing the hard drive from the fried NUC into the my smaller one yielded no pulse whatsoever. Not only did it zap the HDD, it seems to either a) have affeceted the BIOS or b) the BIOS had an issue booting from USB from the startAdditional observations: The mics (dual mics! wow!) worked sketchily, when they worked at all. The fan, which runs even at light loads, is remarkably audible for such a small unit. The HDMI port is flaky (also true of my small NUC). Any potential NUC user should keep in mind: these are kits that look nicely specced on paper but in fact generate a tremendous amount of heat for their form factor, especially if you get an I7 version running 2 monitors, several extra devices, etc. The companies putting these things together are not looking for 5 or 6 figure unit sales from IT departments but more like 50-200 from consumers. Be careful.

Great little computer. We basically purchased this as a hub solution for our TV. Works great, boots fast & surprised me how good the graphics are without a massive graphics card (to be fair, we aren't gamers so I'm not speaking to that). The processor is that good. For our Blue Ray, streaming & sound this little dynamo works like a charm. Planning on another version of NUC for our music recording studio.
