My NUC was delivered today, just 24 hours after ordering: a small box (approx. This box is full of function descriptions, technical information and "INTEL NUC" everywhere, no doubt it's the original. Putting the NUC in the middle of my cluttered desk (two laptops/three monitors/one docking station) was a breeze, took less than five minutes to plug in the NUC, turn it on and get to work.The first 20-30 minutes is the W10 dedicated completing the setup.

The % numbers are percentiles: the proportion of computers already tested in the PassMark database (+1MM) that are underperforming in this case. Not bad for a little guy worth $500.
