The editors liked
So small. Much tiny
Haswell CPU and HD 5000 GPU keeps power consumption relatively low while offering good performance
And these offer plenty of video encoding and decoding features that make it good for HTPC use
Easy to assemble
Nice range of multi-m
Very compact
Runs quietly
Much-improved port selection
Tiny form factor. HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. USB 3.0. Haswell technology.
The editors didn't like
Not as cost-effective as building your own
A quad-core option could make this an attractive mini-server
But it doesn't have one
Very limited expandability
Expensive considering no memory
Hard drive
Or OS included
No room in this model to use the SATA port on the motherboard
Price does not include storage or RAM. Limited expandability. Sluggish graphics performance

Lovely and small, Excellent build quality, Supereasy to build into, Low power and low noise
Still a little too expensive
Intel's first attempt at a truly small-form-factor PC, the NUC, left us wanting more performance and cutting-edge connectivity. The second-generation model, D54250WYK, uses a more-powerful version of the newer Haswell technology to far better effect. Now...
Intel has revised its micro-desktop to deal with all of the criticisms levelled at the last version: more complete connectivity, better media centre friendliness and, of course, the lean Haswell processor. It really is now the ideal media centre micro. A...
Abstract: Kit, £295; Board, £268We’re big fans of Intel’s NUC products, and it’s easy to see why: these tiny motherboards can be used to build tempting low-power machines that can be used as desktops, media centres and much more, and they are so small they c...
