NUC, Small PC but Awesome
Saturday, May 2, 2015
A few days later, I'm testing a device Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) new board. Even in the box is still written Pre-Production Engineering Sample. So still a production sample, yet in production, may not even be sold widely.
If summarized in a few words, then Intel NUC computer that I use a small chili with the ability to roughly 75% of Servers Quad Xeon E31220.
Overview of Intel NUC.
The outer display is very compact Intel NUC once. Even equipped with a hook to put on the screen behind the digital TV / monitor. Adaptor used is ordinary laptop adapter, with voltage 19V with 65W power.
For connection to the outside world, Intel NUC is equipped with three USB ports. Two is being a single USB 2.0 USB 3.0 so it can perform high-speed data transfer at all. We can include a USB keyboard and mouse to operate the Intel NUC.
LAN connector used is Gigabit Ethernet. I check using ethtool this device has the ability to auto negotiation 10Mbps / 100Mbps / 1000Mbps full duplex, so very fast.
In Intel NUC body mounted antenna that can be used for Wi-Fi wireless Internet connection to hotspots.
Gorgeous from Intel NUC is the absence of a VGA connector. That there is a built-in HDMI connector Intel® High Definition Audio 2 subsystem configuration with 8-channel (7.1) digital audio via HDMI 1.4a output. This means that we can use Digital TV with an HDMI connection as the monitor. For those who still use VGA, can buy a VGA to HDMI adapter and this is also going well.
Intel NUC has two SO-DIMM slots for memory 1333 / 1600MHz with a capacity of up to 16GB. Incidentally Intel NUC I am trying to use the memory to 8GB.
