Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK review

Tiny, quiet, power-efficient and fairly quick - the best barebones PC we've ever seen

We're impressed with the Intel NUC. It's tiny, silent, uses less than 8W when idle and 24W under load, and makes a great media centre or unobtrusive general-purpose PC. It's not cheap, at over £500 once you've added the necessary bits, but it's a...

Intel NUC D54250WYK mini PC review

This latest incarnation of Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) platform, is an evolution of the Ivy Bridge-based PC we reviewed previously. The D55250WYK updates the processor to a fourth-generation "Haswell" model, as well as providing many other...

The D54250WYK is a big improvement over the previous generation. It's much faster and no-longer are you forced to choose between wired Ethernet or wireless connectivity. With four USB 3.0 ports, it has good connectivity for such a small PC. Note that...

Intel NUC 13 Extreme (Raptor Canyon) review: A very impressive mini-PC

Got to find a way to fit in an RTX 40 series card.

Fantastic performance in a small-form factor ; Provides more scaleability than past NUCs ; Tool-less design ; Open mesh design allows for good airflow

No RGB ; It's not a small NUC ; Not for DIY beginners ; PSU not able to support RTX 40 series cards

Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast (Serpent Canyon) review: Arc has entered the game

We finally get to see Intel's Arc A770M in action.

Powerful for its size ; Whisper quiet ; Arc 770M shows great promise ; Attractive price value

Large external power supply ; Games that support XeSS are still low

Intel NUC 12 Extreme Kit review: More firepower to an already excellent mini-PC

Also known as Dragon Canyon, the Intel NUC 12 Extreme Kit is essentially a refresh of last year's model – using the same chassis and internal layout as its predecessor.

Retains the smart design from NUC 11 Extreme Kit ; Offers better performance value than its predecessor ; DIY appeal

Still no glass window ; Intel CPU only ; No PCI 5.0 support (gasp!)

Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit review: A fun mini-PC for DIY enthusiasts

The Beast Canyon is a reminder that Intel - sometimes - do have great ideas.

Smart design ; Great RGB implementation ; DIY appeal ; Can work with power-hungry RTX 3070 and 3080 GPUs

No glass window ; Mesh sides will not keep out dust and small particles ; Intel CPU only

Intel Hades Canyon NUC review: Dead impressive

If you don't mind the weird design, Intel's Hades Canyon packs a lot of power into a very small space

Tons of connectivity; Great performance; Tacky skull LED can be deactivated

Supplied without RAM or storage; Comparatively high power consumption; New model possibly coming soon

Intel’s latest NUC device combines an 8th-gen quad-core processor with an AMD Radeon RX Vega GPU, resulting in a device that’s surprisingly capable for a mini PC. The patient may want to hold out for the forthcoming upgrade, but if you just can’t wait,...

Intel NUC Kit (Haswell edition) review

Intel updates tiny PC barebones kit with processor, faster graphics and more ports

The chip of choice in Intel's revised NUC Kit is a Core i5-4250U. Its key feature is the updated HD Graphics 5000 core in the system on chip (SoC) package, which is a big leap forward from the HD Graphics 4000 core included in older NUC processors.
