5.0 out of 5 stars Great Linux desktop workstation.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016
I am really pleased with my NUC N3700. I added 8GB of Kingston SDRAM and a spare laptop hard disk to begin. I eventually plan to use this NUC as a quiet low-energy headless home server. Connected a keyboard, mouse and display. Easily updated the Intel BIOS firmware from version 031->048. Installed Linux Mint 17.3 (Rosa) from a bootable USB flash drive. The default Linux Mint kernel (3.19) supported the Realtek Ethernet port but did not have a driver for the Intel wireless / bluetooth hardware. It was a simple straightforward process to upgrade to a later version kernel (4.2.0) from the Mint software repository. After reboot the wireless hardware worked perfectly. This NUC is fast enough and very usable as a general desktop workstation.

I did try at first installing Debian GNU/Linux testing (Stretch) but ran into several issues during installation: systemd-ifupdown conflict, unreliable video display sync, non-free firmware version alignment, etc. After a couple of hours, I had to give up. Linux Mint just worked.

Absolutely great product! Runs Linux Mint with great driver support and really works well. Lightweight, small, inexpensive, low-power--this machine has a zillion uses. It has been reliable and really a pleasure to use. For quite a while I thought the NUCs were overpriced, but I am glad I decided to give it a try--they are a great value for the money.

The first thing to keep in mind is that this product does not come with a hard drive/operating system/ram. All 3 would need to be obtained additionally. If that is not something you are comfortable with doing, you may want to look elsewhere. It is very easy to take apart. 4 screws are on the bottom, that you need to remove. Once the top comes off, you can install your ram and hard drive. I had an extra SSD laying around (2.5 in) so I placed that in the computer. I then went out to Microsoft's website and downloaded the Windows 10 media creation tool which is pretty slick. I placed a the usb stick in another computer already running Windows. Once downloaded, the tool formatted and created a bootable Windows 10 installer. I then connected the power cord, usb keyboard and mouse and turned on the device. It powered up, detected the usb stick and began installing Windows 10. Install went quickly and I was up and running it less than 45 mins. The device has built in wifi, bluetooth, so you really only need the power cord. You also can mount it on the back of a TV using a VESA mount which is how mine is.

What I use mine for is scanning files, Office, Internet, printing, It handles all those tasks very well. I do not play games on it so I cannot say how that experience would be. It fits my needs fine and I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This model has a lot bang for the buck.

This model has a lot bang for the buck. Pentium with 4 cores, and 4 3.0 USBs, SD slot and VGA. It's a Barebones, so I added 8gb ram and a 250gb SSD Drive. I bought Windows 7 and upgraded that to Windows 10.

After all the trouble I had with W7, I'd have been better off just buying W10 for the extra $35. Windows 7 does not understand USB 3.0 and I had to copy my W7 disk to a bootable USB and inject the drivers for 3.0. That took a little bit of Googling and a lot of sitting around. I'd rather have just gotten the W10 disk.

I use this primarily for Web Browsing, It play videos just fine. I have heard that the latest games will choke it, but I don't play games so that's no problem for me. It comes with a VESA mounting plate and I mounted on the back of an old widescreen monitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its definitely one of the best price/performance NUC right now!
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2015
I bought this NUC together with the Kingston DDR3L 8GB Ram. Installed it together with a spare Intel 120 SSD and tried installing windows 7 on it. Its a nightmare to install Windows 7. The usb3 dont work without proper drivers installed into your windows 7 installer iso. I went ahead and install windows 8 instead. Windows 8 installer is straightforward though. I am updating the OS so that the windows 10 upgrade appears before i upgrade to windows 10.

I owned a Brix N2807 i bought last year, comparing 2 NUC together, This NUC5PPYH beats N2807 hands down. Its much more responsive and faster. Build quality wise is excellent, installation of RAM and SSD is very hasslefree.

I havent had the chance to plug it to my 4kTV to test the video@4k yet.
1080p streaming and video playback so far didnt disappoint me.

Do take note if you need to install windows 7, you need to read up the workaround from Intel or just google for "NUC5PPYH windows 7 Installation". There's a few guides that show you step by step what to do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Positive To Say About This NUC
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015
I have heard great things about the Intel NUC brand of computers but am having trouble finding anything nice to say about this one and I will be returning it tomorrow.

Pros: Can't think of any.

Cons: The fan is very loud, not what you want when you want to use it as an entertainment PC.

There is no USB 2 support (other than on the motherboard and it is not a standard connection). Consequently, you will have a hard time installing Windows 7. Windows 10 installed with no problem.

It boots very slowly even with a SSD.

Most annoying of all, the USB 3 Ports have radio signals that interfere with your wireless keyboard and other USB 2 Devices. Had I done my research I would have known this. If you want your wireless keyboard, in my case the Logitech K400R to respond properly, you need to put the dongle on an extension cord to move it away from your NUC. Adding extension cables to a small form factor PC kind of defeats the purpose of owning one.

Make sure you Google NUC and Wireless Keyboard Problems unless you want to move your dongle away from the computer.

Please read the reviews on other sites before making the same mistake I did.
