Intel Exiting the PC Business as it Stops Investment in the Intel NUC

This could be especially bad for India as none of the other manufacturers seem to be particularly interested in India as a market. NUC was at least available. Currently an NUC is my primary home PC on which I do all my work. It’s really tiny, takes practically no space on my desk, and provides a smooth experience at a very low power draw. I’ll miss the Intel NUCs.

I think they were targeting the Zero and Thin Client segment. Its hard to beat Teradici in that segment.

Do check out the [ASUS PN range of USFF PCs](’

Does this come with a Vesa bracket ? This is one thing I really appreciated with the NUCs. You just attach it behind the monitor and forget it is even there.

It does!

Intel and ASUS agree to term sheet to manufacture, sell and support 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems product line and to develop future innovative NUC systems product designs.

Hmm.. I wonder what it really boils down to, given Asus has its own product line.

Wow, bought RNUC12WSKI50Z00 (my primary work horse) couple of months back, bought a NUC11Pro last year, have 2 other NUC 5th Gen. And was planning to buy a NUC10 i3 to deploy a linux server for a client. Any alternate Asus suggestions ?

There’s no reason to not buy NUCs, Intel/Asus will continue to provide support and warranty. A company stopping a certain business doesn’t absolve them of their existing contracts. The discontinuation date for 12th gen NUCs is 2025, meaning they will continue to provide support and warranty at least till 2028, and mostly for longer as the warranty is from the date of purchase and not restricted by date of discontinuation.

ASUS has published a dedicated NUC overview page:

Now that we’re not even allowed to see X’s without login, would be nice to at least have some context

As you can expect, the URL points to the same page I [mentioned earlier](’

NUCs at Intel Innovation: Quick Update

I did not want to create a new thread but thought to point it out here. While I could not locate the exact SKU, I only found a reference of it [here](’

). I believe this BXNUC10I5FNHWA5.99CFCK is the same as -

A review of an identical model and can be found here -

And since Asus supports the Intel NUCs after they bought it over, the support page is here -

However, please do your due diligence before installing any driver or Bios from the above link. Perhaps @@Titokhan can throw some more light.

I was looking for the exact SKU, not the family description. Wasn’t sure if this is a genuine Intel product or an outsourced version specific to India and the Next Billion program (or whatever it was called then). I later found out you need a login to view all SKUs in a given family, I suspect to reduce traffic. I did find that page you linked, but no drivers are actually required. No plans to update BIOS either as this thing is Bitlocked. I wasn’t planning on keeping the Windows install, but it looks like now I might after all.

The drive is the very nice Samsung OEM unit that comes with decent laptops, and though Gen 3x4 only does have excellent endurance. RAM is somehting quite forgettable, it will be replaced with a 16 or 32 gig kit later.
