Review on πŸ–₯️ Intel NUC 8 Mainstream Kit (NUC8i3BEH) - Core i3, Tall, Additional Components Required by Dan Ball

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing little machine

Samsung 970 Evo NVMe (250GB), 2 x 4GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro added. Use with LG 27" 4K Display (with HDMI) It's amazing how fast and quiet this little thing is. It's a real desktop computer. Easy to put together and works without any problems. Very fast and responsive. I use it for Visual Studio and Azure programming Office documents, internet and media consumption, including 4K video Handles everything with ease Quiet at boot and sometimes starts to hum a little under load (balanced setting in BIOS) Plenty of USB ports including a charging port Im Unlike other machines, all USB ports on this USB 3.1 Gen2, so you get the full 10Gbps speed.The Thunderbolt port also offers some level of future proofing!Must be connected to the front headphone jack or monitor/TV, if it also has an audio-out C connector on the front of the device, so you can connect USB Type-C drives and phones without adapters can be connected. Looks good too! Rowan Revain sh but ipping. I paid for expedited shipping with a guaranteed delivery date. 3 days missed. To make matters worse, Courier Tracking (UPS) didn't update it accurately so I wasted a whole evening waiting for it. I contacted Revain customer service who apologized and assured me the item would be delivered over the weekend. That didn't happen (UPS doesn't deliver on weekends) so I lost my weekend too. I'm still waiting for a shipping cost refund. However, this does not reflect the product purchased, hence 5 stars!
