Intel NUC 5i5RYH Mini PC Review

Small, yet good. Intel has offered small desktop PCs for a long time now. We wish to test their latest installment: the NUC with its brand-new Broadwell chip. In the following in-depth review, we will delve into its features and performance.

Attractive price-to-performance ratio, Good case, Nice connectivity, Decent performance, Various upgrade options, Compact power adapter, Low noise and temperature emissions

Small mini-PCs are proving that they have the right stuff and can beat conventional tower PCs in office use. In fact, home, office or internet use are all ideal for these small companions.

Intel BOX NUC5i5RYH

Love it. Installed Fedora 26 Server with no problem what so ever.

Only one slot for a standard HDD so have M2 installed on the board then mount another disk in the chasis.
