Intel NUC kit D54250WYK - Intel Next Unit of Computing - with Intel Core i5-4250U CPU fourth generation (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

So I would describe my first experience with the Intel Core i5 with NUC (BOXD54250WYKH2).
When ordering the kit I immediately paid to the equipment with power cord - why must really reinvent the wheel every manufacturer, where already a bunch of standard cables lying around?
Since the device was intended primarily for testing purposes, a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM, and a wireless network adapter yet purchased and installed.
The constituent assembly went after loosening some screws be simple, and, only when installing the wireless adapter you should know that the built-in housing antenna cable with a type tape is wound together. If we try to use force to connect the ports, it can quickly render a filigree connections interrupted. So, first carefully remove the tape in this case.
The operating system is Windows 8.1 Professional with Hyper-V for one to two concurrent virtual machines. A still from the last converted on SSD laptop leftover SATA hard disk serves as a data warehouse for ISO files and less important programs.
The NUC can be screwed on the monitor in order to aggravate seizure with a supplied frame.
So you also eludes an advantage when you're frequently on the road and, for example, for training and demonstrations do not always go like hold on the laptop - portability. One can take the part, switch on and remotely control your desktop (if you previously changed the firewall rules accordingly). Especially in foreign wireless networks still not always easy, because then helps a highly portable, the NUC and the controlling laptop known Wi-Fi hotspot continue to just quickly customize the configuration without connecting a monitor and keyboard.
TeamViewer Remote works without a connected display due to a bug apparently not.
This somewhat unusual connection format (Mini DisplayPort and mini-HDMI) makes the selection of a suitable cable (of course not included) a little more difficult - I have finally decided to Mini DisplayPort.
Who runs the risk that the monitor is to be connected only controlled via VGA, should make sure that the adapter includes this because mini DP to DVI via an additional adapter to VGA is not working.
If one has circumnavigated the small rough edges, you have a solid tool that brings sufficient for most purposes computing power for an average price. (Only for true 3D gaming and if necessary for any internal expansion cards is for special purposes, you should then but choose another platform.)
