Greetings. I have two desktops at my office but I want to sell them and get something small due to lack of space and was thinking about the NUC from Intel.

 

All I need them to do is:

* run a couple light software programs, typical of a small business

* print

* connect to each other via wired LAN

* browse the web

* be reliable

* boot and load programs as fast as possible (therefore SSD)

 

Budget is 1,000 euro for both. Also, windows 8.1 would be optimal.

 

Would you go for the NUC's? If yes, which one? i3 or would pentium/celeron be enough? If not, what other would you recommend? Thanks!

Seek and you shall find.

Dell optiplex micro. Better support and about the same price.

Haven't used those, but they look like a fantastic option. Good find.

Why not Windows 10?

 

I'd personally go for a core i5 NUC since they don't sell the core i3 or Pentium models anymore.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Oneplus 6 (Early 2023 to present) | HP Envy 15" x360 R7 5700U (Mid 2021 to present) | Steam Deck (Late 2022 to present)

 

Mid 2023 AlTech Desktop Refresh - AMD R7 5800X (Mid 2023), XFX Radeon RX 6700XT MBA (Mid 2021), MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon (Early 2018), 32GB DDR4-3200 (16GB x2) (Mid 2022

Noctua NH-D15 (Early 2021), Corsair MP510 1.92TB NVMe SSD (Mid 2020), beQuiet Pure Wings 2 140mm x2 & 120mm x1 (Mid 2023),

Windows 10 will cause problems to my main software. They do sell i3 and Pentium in Greece. i5 will go over my budget.
