Intel NUC 11 NUC11PAHI5 Panther Canyon Mini PC, i5-1135G7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Mini Computers Windows 10 Pro for Business Home Office, Support 8K/WiFi 6/4K Quad Display/Bluetooth 5/Thunderbolt 3

This thing is tiny, which is awesome. It was quick and easy to plug everything in and get it set up. I’ve been using it for about a month and have had no issues.

Had high expectations however the pc lasted 3 weeks before the motherboard died. Getting it replaced is complicated and it takes time. A waste of money.

I was looking for a replacement for my aging third generation i7 desktop computer that I knew would not run Windows 11 when it is officially released. After exhaustive research, I decided to get this NUC11. I chose to buy a unit already configured with RAM, SSD and Windows 10 Pro from Geek+ instead of buying the NUC kit and doing it myself. Intel warrants the NUC for three years but Geek+ warrants the RAM, SSD and OS for three years. By the way, the copy of Windows 10 pro is fully licensed and activated. I read reviews on some other brand micro pcs where people had issues with Windows activation. It is nice to have someone to call for support if needed. If fact, I had a few questions after receiving the NUC so I shot an email off to Geek+s support email address. I was pleasantly surprised when I quickly received a reply back from Cathy who is Geek+s Sales Manager. She saw to it that all of my questions were answered quickly. I would rate the after sale customer service as exemplary.

I got my hands on the Intel NUC 11 NUC11PAHI5 Panther Canyon Mini PC from Amazon, and oh boy, this little thing is a server superhero! Its so small and cute, yet it packs a serious punch when it comes to running my Discord bot and juggling virtual machines.

I’m replacing a 7 year old computer. I wanted something that would be somewhat ‘future proof’. The Intel NUC version 11 has the forward-looking features to stay current longer than most.

20221220 Update

This little NUC has all the power Id ever need for Office, web browsing with way too many tabs open, and the occasional HD movie. I couldnt be happier with it!

Core i5 with 8 threads, 16GB ram and 256GB storage all with Windows 10 Pro. For the money that is a good deal. Yes none of this is the best in class, but you are get a current gen NUC that can be upgraded and Windows 10 Pro is worth about half the cost of the computer. This is worth the buy if the specs meet your needs.

While an impressive product, what was also very noteworthy was the Sellers sales support. Not only did the Seller (Geek+) take the time to fully understand what I was seeking, they also proactively informed me of a newer model that just became available on a special offering! Being (forgive the term) old-school with relationships - and unlike so many stores these days that focus more on the transaction than the actual purchasing experience - this Seller really stood out. They could have simply sold me the older, more expensive model - but they instead cared about improving my solution. Id definitely seek them out again other similar solution needs...

I am security conscious and very concerned buying a PC from a third party. I did not have any problem and the build of the barebone PC was uneventful. My only criticism is that the seller opened the box to put their company sticker on the PC. I believe NEW means an unopened box.
