I thought the differences between i5 and i& processors were more to do
with the handling of video encoding/decoding and display.
On what do you base your statements regarding audio editing?
I use several computers here, my Windows Desktop is an I5 along with my
iMac, so what am I missing when it comes t audio editing.
People on this list I'm sure have been using Sound Forge with machines
which came out earlier than I5 machines did and I'm sure there are
plenty of people on list who are using Dual Core machines and
successfully using Sound Forge or whatever editor they prefer.
I always thought the key to good audio editing was a good reliable hard
drive or even a SSD these days.
Anyway getting back to the point of the Nuc, its going to be a media
ceter here so no, not much audio editing will take place if any though I
am thinking of using it as a broadcasting hub too.

It is an i5, which sucks for audio editing. It is doable, but not as
responsive as an i7. I can understand your interest in this machine.
Macs are overpriced and underpowered compared to high performance
Windows machines.

Interesting you took it that way as its vastely different from a Mac mini,
try configuring a Mac Mini yourself and see how you get on <smile>.
The only similarity between the Nuc and the Mac Mini are the size of the
machines really, even the entry level Mac Mini is more expensive than a
Nuc though having said that the Mac Mini is pretty much read to go out of
the box, all the user need do is set up keyboard and display.
There are other computers similar in size to the Nuc and Mac Mini and
perhaps the most famous of these is the Samsung Chromebox.
I bought one about a year ago and I won't go on about it here because it
really doesn't have any audio qualities worth speaking of apart from a
headphones socket and it can play audio but its not the power house like a
Nuc or a Mac Mini, the Chromebox relies totally on Google to run.

These machines are no pretenders, they’re proper Intel machines, much
the same as your Desktop or Notebook but one hell of a lot smaller,
perfect as the audio/video hub in your lounge room because of their
size, put them literally anywhere, can you imagine a desktop machine
taking up room in your family living area which could otherwise be
occupied by seating, coffee tables or whatever other comforts and
furniture a lounge room has these days?

Very well said. Why buy a pretender.

Seems too expensive for something you have to add lots of things to,
like your ram and storage. Buy the Mini and be done with it.
