## Description

Intel NUC Kit NUC6CAYH is built with a quad-core Intel Celeron processor, delivers cost-efficient Intel-level performance in a fully customizable kit that makes it perfect for basic 4K digital signage, PC replacement, or thin client. This kit gives you the choice to install the OS, memory, and hard drive you want so you can create the exact system that you need. New features include a dual-array front mic and a multi-color LED ring so you can customize your NUC with the look you want. And there's 4K display support via a full-sized HDMI 2.0 port, so you can have 4K digital signs at a cost-eﬀective price point.

Review: Wonderful product for media center use - I wanted to wait until after I had this product for a couple of days to get a feel for it, and that time has now elapsed. I will likely re-visit this review in the future, due to some minor expected issues due to it being a new product. For what this system is, it is incredible. This is a complete system (including windows 10 license), with everything you need to get started. And, it is upgradeable, which for most use cases I would highly recommend pursuing. I was quite surprised at how well the system ran with just the included 2GB of ram. When I had the system connected to a 1080P display, I did not have many complaints with the 2GB, however I could tell some things were a bit sluggish than they otherwise should be and memory usage hovered very close to maximum. Switching over to my 4K tv, though, and I REALLY will need more. (I have placed an order for two 4GB sticks to max this system out while getting the speed advantage of dual-channel. You could also go with a single stick of 8GB for a huge boost, you would just be missing out on the interleaving gains). Basically, when using 4K output, especially when attempting to play videos, I was seeing dropped frames any time I did anything as intensive as moving my mouse. When everything except the video was still, the system was fine, using very little processing power despite playing 4K video. And about that 4K video out. This is a bit of a caveat at present, but in another month or two I expect this to have been resolved. If you use Microsoft's Edge browser, you will have no worries. Hardware accelerated VP9 (youtube) and HEVC (everything else 4K) will work just fine. If you use Chrome, however, you will need to do a workaround to force the browser to use hardware acceleration. I am not going to get into the details of how to do this, but know that there has already been a code commit to unrestrict this, it is just a matter of waiting for it to filter into the released version of the browser. (This restriction on VP9 decoding in Chrome had been put in place from the Skylake generation of CPUs, which for a time supported a hybrid GPU/CPU decode for this codec. It turns out it was very buggy, and so Intel recently removed support for it from the driver, but not before Chrome took their own step of blacklisting accelerated VP9 decode on all Intel graphic chipsets.) It is worth noting that even before I took the steps to force-enable the VP9 decoding in chrome, the system was able to mostly handle up to 1080P 60FPS content with very few drops. 4K, however, definitely required the hardware acceleration for smooth playback. Other than the small amount of included RAM, the other obvious limitation on this system is in the included disk, which is actually effectively seen as an internal MMC card. This means serialized writes and relatively poor performance. I have not benchmarked it specifically, but the flashing activity light was very prolonged in its activity while I had it as my primary storage. I was fairly quick to install a SATA SSD in the system and clone the internal storage to it. Since then, disk activity has gone way down and responsiveness has increased. During my install of the SSD, I ran into an issue that surprised me from an Intel system. Specifically, I was unable to get the BIOS to detect an external USB CD drive as a boot device. Routinely when I use a new system, I will boot to a Linux live cd to clone the disk image for backup purposes. I tried two different optical drives, both of which I have recently used successfully in other systems, and in both cases this new NUC could not see them, despite selecting appropriate BIOS options to enable legacy booting. I ended up using a bootable thumb drive to accomplish my disk cloning task, so the USB booting in general clearly DOES work. I would expect this USB CD boot issue to be resolved with a future BIOS update. (The system as I received it included version 0027, but I upgraded it to the latest 0029. I experienced the CD issue with both releases.) I will revisit this review after I upgrade to dual channel 8GB ram, as I expect that will greatly improve things. My only other experience with NUCs is a skylake-generation i3 NUC (NUC6i3SYH). That NUC clearly has a more powerful processor than this one, as evidenced by it software decoding 1080P 60FPS vp9 with lower than 50% processor usage, whereas this one pegs out and drops a few frames attempting to do the same. (As I mentioned earlier in my review, this won't be an issue anymore in the near future as more programs get updated to take advantage of the hardware accelerated decoding, however it does show a limitation regarding other cpu-intensive tasks.) The included wifi module worked perfectly, seeing both my 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks. For remote control, I paired it with a Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus Again, I went with 5 stars not because this product is perfect, but because the only issues I have currently experienced are perfectly expected for a system at this price point that is brand new to market. Additionally, I expect the issues that it does have will be addressed in the near future. This is also coming from the perspective of intending to use this system as a media center on a 4K television. If I were expecting to use this system for gaming or as a daily driver, I would likely have come to a different conclusion.
Review: Worked great for six days, then died. - When it worked, it met my expectations. The most demanding thing I needed it to do was stream HD web content. It did that fine., even with only two gig of ram. Up until it failed, my only beef was that 32gig is not enough to accomplish a windows 10 update. I threw in a spare 100 gig hd, cloned the OS to it and did the update. Once I finished that and got rid of everything I would have needed to revert back to the old version, the OS could fit back on the original HD. When I cloned the OS back to the original drive, it never powered up again. It took ten days to get a refund. By then, it had gone up in price by $24. I decided to buy a different brand with the Celeron J4105 processor, which supports 4k video @ 60fps, twice the storage and 4 gig of DDR4 ram. With the $20 off coupon, it only cost $210. I turns out the failure of the Intel unit was a blessing in disguise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet, compact small desktop replacement - modern workstation
*by A***R on February 13, 2020*

What it is: I needed a small form factor computer for amateur radio use and this system is perfect for me, It is silent, only needs a 6 inch by 6 inch footprint, uses a solid state drive and it came with enough RAM (8Gb), to run all of my radio software and it has WiFi and Bluetooth - but no optical drive. It has enough USB ports to add external devices and with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse you have a very portable system. I use an HDMI 32 inch display which lets me run half a dozen apps on the screen simultaneously or I can easily switch from one to another and monitor several on one screen without having to toggle them - just click on the frame of the screen you want to work. Other features include a laptop style power supply, (but no batteries that wear out and need replacement after they pass their charging cycles threshold like laptops), enough USB 3.0 ports to meet your needs for external devices, a fast SSD, plenty of RAM but not upgradeable in this particular model, preloaded with Windows 10 Pro - not the home version. I have two four port USB 3.0 hubs plugged into it so I can have 8 external devices connected to it and that is a lot of flash memory capability as well as an avenue to add external disk drives and DVD/BluRay drives. This can become a very serious amount of storage that is readily accessible. Need to go somewhere and set up your system? Put it all in a briefcase (except for the display) and off you go with it, simple, lightweight and portable. What it isn't: It isn't a screaming fast gamer's system but there are more powerful NUC platforms available, and as you get more powerful versions there will be some fan noise as these systems all have internal cooling fans - which means eventually it will suck in dust and then it will not be as quiet or run as cool, so the more powerful varieties will need occasional cleaning. Basically even considering the CPU is a middleweight it does a remarkable level of tasks and it does them well. There are more powerful NUC systems from Intel for sale if you need an ultra powerful system however in this case less is more and it does serve the average user's needs very well. Intel did their homework on this one and I have found it to be all I need without going overboard. One reason I think this system is so capable is the small size of the system board - it is a tiny board compared to a laptop or conventional desktop system which has an advantage in that all the components have short paths between them - the smaller the distance the quicker it is covered. Miniaturization at this level means you get the performance of a machine with many times more RAM and a faster clock speed and greater bus capacity in a machine you can put virtually anywhere. Unless you are working on projects that require some extreme level of computing cycles per second , and most of us do not require that level of performance, the NUC6 is a great compact solution, and it is the basic starting point in a family of compact systems that can be 4 times faster, have a more capable CPU offerings, and have many times more storage and RAM in a very minimal space requirement. There are NUC systems that range from the NUC5 to the latest and most powerful NUC10 so there is a range of capability and expense for every need and budget. I worked on computer systems that range from mainframe to midrange, from mini to the earliest PC platforms and have serviced every platform on warranty in the hands of business and individual consumers going back to 1978 and this little NUC platform is one of the most impressive I have ever seen when it comes to value and performance with a minimal volume of space. It even comes with a bracket for mounting it on the back of a display if you want an all-in-one type of system. This is truly the Next Unit of Computing in my opinion.
