I know of a company that uses NUCs in each of their stores (Fast food chain, fairly hostile environment for computers). These NUCs are running Win 10 Pro, hosting Virtual Machines under Hyper V, and are mission critical in their operations.
I believe they have had one NUC fail in 2 years, and this was due to an SSD failing. Ed.

Still use the VM in the cloud but wanting something local for other things. These units looks like they are super-flexible, small and easy to move etc On Thu, 9 May 2019 at 15:28, Stephen Price <step...@lythixdesigns.com <mailto:step...@lythixdesigns.com> > wrote: I have the skull canyon nuc which is a beast, but the fans are quite loud even when you out it in quiet mode. M.2 drives and powerful cpu. There is a newer model which has an AMD GPU on board but I am not sure if it's any quieter. Probably not. There are some fanless models too which would be super quiet but tend to be lower specs. I had one die recently. Well it shuts down if it gets too hot so in hindsight I wonder if fans would have prevented an untimely death. Also have a couple of these in my wife's office as desktop pcs and they are great. Low cost and don't take up any deskspace, and lots of monitor options, most can have multiple screens. Did the VM in the cloud option not suit? cheers, Stephen From: Grant Maw Sent: Thursday, 9 May, 10:53 Subject: NUC To: ozDotNet It's time for a new dev PC. Someone drew my attention to Intel's NUC recently, and was wondering if anyone had any positive or negative experiences with these? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/boards-kits/nuc/mini-pcs/business.html Thanks
