Intel's NUC for Everyday use

[Meowrcenary]

Which one would be best for photo editing (beginner), e-mail checking, online shopping, and watching videos on youtube/netflix at 1080p? Might do a bit of gaming, but nothing past the Super Mario days.

Are they Good systems? Or would it be better to build a cheap PC?

Thank You!

look into a system with a real mb and a g cpu or an i3. if you need more power from a cpu you can replace it. with the noc your out of luck.

The CPU used on NUC is mobile based Intel chipset. So, the mobile i3/i5 processing power is not as strong as desktop i3/i5 Cpu.

NUC is meant for Portability & Keep your desktop Table out of hassle.
It's basically a Notebook in small box who wants to works only in PC.

You can built a Strong Gaming Desktop with the price of NUC i5 , which will give you much better Performance.

I even bought a i5 NUC with a 27inch monitor for my MOM. Since she is a light User[Mail,Browse,Movie Watch] & not into Gaming & , she enjoys it very much.
