The i5 NUC is more than capable of handling the basic day-to-day office tasks. Incredibly easy to set up, super small and saves space on any desk, and unbelievably quiet.

20221220 Update

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.

I update my review to clarify that the memory coming in the unit is indeed DDR4. I initially mentioned that it was DDR3 because the frequency I read was 2667 MHz instead of 3200 MHz (the maximum freq. spec for DDR4). However, the max frequency spec for DDR3 is 2133 MHz not 2667 MHz. Therefore the memory is indeed DDR4 so I made a mistake in my initial review which I want to correct in this updated review.

The Intel NUC has state of the art technology in a very small form factor.

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.

The Intel NUC 11 Mini PC is a powerful and versatile computer thats perfect for home use. Nowadays I almost exclusively use my work computer, but for personal media streaming, paperwork, and social media I prefer to take it off of corp. When my old laptop died, the NUC 11 was the perfect, affordable replacement.
