Pro's
Very compact (can sit behind a TV or use very little desktop space)
Relatively powerful as all use Intel iCore processors (i3, i5, i7)
Built-in HDMI, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Intel graphics, and USB 3
Quiet
Con's (considerations really)
Can be relatively expensive and require some computer expertise
Requires OS, HD, memory, monitor / keyboard (unless purchased pre-configured)
It should be noted that he newest generations tend not to be discounted. Windows 11 requires Gen8 or above. Mine were all purchased pre-owned and all work extremely well. the Intel store on Amazon is a great place to begin looking.
The cooling is ok. You can’t expect it to be as cool and quiet as a custom PC with a high TDP cooler. But it does a good job and the temperature looks reasonable. It is around 36 Celsius when idle, around 55 Celsius when running light weighted applications. And the highest temperature is around 80 Calcius for intensive computation tasks (when the fan noise becomes significant). I don’t see an obvious throttling issue, and usually it runs at almost full turbo boost speed (3.7GHz).
In one word, I really love this mini computer and find it really capable and competent for my need. The only pity is that the price dropped by $40 one week after I bought it.

The only knock I have right now with the setup is installing Windows. It has been a few years since I setup a computer: my most recent computers have been preconfigured laptops or the Byte3. I bought the regular USB Windows Pro from Amazon, so I assumed it would at least have the drivers for network access. It didn't, so I could only setup my local user folder. The setup itself did go pretty quickly (but another word of caution is that the USB drive is not very good...it was pretty hard to get it in a USB port: you'd think that paying $140+ on the Software, Microsoft could supply a better USB stick). So once I found out Windows didn't have the drivers, I figured most the time would be driver installs and Windows updates. Intel does have a full driver pack that you can download. I thought I'd be able to install all drivers and that would be it. But the graphics driver wound up taking awhile: it kept giving error messages that my computer wasn't the right processor type. It wound up being that I had to keep on installing Windows updates until I had installed the latest Fall Creator's Windows update. That update also gives you HDR options in the display options.
For video use, this NUC is very quiet. My everyday Lenovo laptop is much noisier (I've looked inside it and have seen fairly small fans and the ventilation isn't as great). The most intensive tasks I'll do is 3D animation. This NUC does have specs that make it good enough to be some more cores for a network render (since rendering is most about just number of cores you can throw in). The renderer will also push all cores to 100%...so I'm sure by that point I'd hear fan noise (but I'm also sure it won't nearly be as loud as a dedicated server or workstation).

I’ve connected it to my TV via HDMI and this has allowed me to not only have a fully functional computer but also a smart TV with the ability to stream or play local / internet content without any restrictions.
I use a wireless keyboard and mouse combo with it so there’s literally no sign of a computer sitting near my TV until I switch it on. You have to buy a separate power cord as the box doesn’t come with one, so keep that in mind when you buy this.
