Intel is sunsetting its NUC business

We have decided to stop direct investment in the Next Unit of Compute (NUC) Business and pivot our strategy to enable our ecosystem partners to continue NUC innovation and growth. This decision will not impact the remainder of Intel’s Client Computing Group (CCG) or Network and Edge Computing...

For office and browsing, YouTube, can't see anything wrong with it. I am waiting for 23H2 to deploy (comes with 22H2) and then will run Atlas on it. 8Gb is a little low, so an upgrade is planned.

I was planning on using it as a music transport and server, but the fan is a little noisy for that sort of application. Plus, the dead 8i3 NUC it was replacing has sprung back to life. I have three NUCs now, one more than I actually need.

I want to replace the old desktop at home with something simple for the parents to operate. I like the portability part but my only concern is the older generation. They will mostly use the system for browsing internet.

It's more than enough hardware for your use case - just pop in couple of 16 GB RAM sticks and you should be set.

I picked up this NUC a week or so ago, looks like the sale price is still active. I actually bought it at 25k, then noticed price had dropped to 20k.

Honestly, while these NUCs are great for their tiny size, owning them for about 8 years has been a bit of a headache. I’ve got around 4 of them, and every single one has had the power button fail after 2-3 years. Plus, they need really good ventilation to work properly.
I don’t think they’re built for the Indian weather, and trying to fix them yourself is a nightmare.
On top of that, they start slowing down after 2-3 years, so I had to install Windows 10 LTSC just to make them run a bit smoother. But honestly, Linux Mint seems to run way better on these little machines
