Intel Core i5 NUC (Broadwell) $289

[Patrick]

Thanks to @Patriot who sent me this one: Intel NUC NUC5i5RK | Amazon $289.99 right now. Newegg is $330.

Time to upgrade some of the older NUCs.

Unfortunate that it's m2 only -- I would have liked to use some of my old 2.5" drives.

Nice find but if you have a 4k TV and expect to get 60fps out of these they won't until Intel releases their next generation. The CPUs that have a "U" in them have a hardware flaw that prevent playback at 60fps. The Intel forums are a buzz with this as the product documentation specifies 4K @ 60fps.

I have an NUC 1 gen older and absolutely one of the best pieces of equipment I bought a couple years ago. The thing run my Ubuntu and Kodi flawlessly and then some.

+1 for NUCs.

If only I had 4K @ 60fps content

if the one with TPM was on sale...

4K content == 40" screen to get work done...
