i’m rating this 5-star because now that i’ve purchased and installed a ssd the nuc works great… however when i first ordered the nuc i mistakenly ordered it with just the 1tb hdd, no ssd, which meant it arrived with windows installed on the 1tb hdd. it’s hard for me to believe that in the year 2019 a modern hard drive can be as painfully slow as the 1tb hdd that came with this nuc, it was so ridiculously slow that i was sure something must be wrong with it – but after running a series of hdd tests it passed as perfectly healthy… thing is, even as a storage drive (no os) it’s absolutely horrible, moving folders/files to and from it is a joke, so you can imagine how miserably it performed as an os drive. anyway, the 8i7beh is a great box, just make absolutely sure that you select a

They offer a 3 year warranty which is not practical because the product combines an Intel product with their own added memory, drive. etc. When I had a problem with the NUC itself (no Bluetooth) they told me to deal with Intel directly. That would mean removing the components that they added and I paid for. I asked them to replace the NUC and send the defective one back to Intel. They refused because this item is not in stock. Yet it appears to be in stock today on this page. I asked them to remove their components and send it back to Intel on my behalf. They refused because I need to deal directly with Intel. So, I learned my lesson. While I was asking them for help, I was able to get
