NUC is specifically Intel's "Next Unit of Computing" mini PC form factor, but I use it pretty generically to refer to PCs of the same size. For example, Gigabyte calls their BRIX.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/overview.html They're very small, power-efficient mini systems that can mount on the back of a TV or monitor using VESA 100. Intel's NUCs range from Atom-based CPUs all the way to the latest Skylake i7s (Kaby Lake announced). I use some i3 NUCs on TVs/monitors for PC-based video playback, but they could and do replace lower-end PCs and work desktops. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DSinc Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2016 5:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Lopaka's Desk project from a few months back Greg, What is a "NUC?"
