This is the 4rd NUC model I have purchased for the university I work at (the other models being the NUC5i3RYH, NUC5i5RYH, and NUC6i5SYH) and it has been a charm to work with. I ordered 14 these to update a teaching lab. I chose this model mainly due to cost but also because of availability. I would have rather purchased a model with a full-sized HDMI port on the back but I wanted at least a NUC5i3 model, and the NUC6i3 models are too expensive and seem to be having some reliability issues.Each of the 14 I ordered was equipped with 8GB of Crucial DDR3L memory and a Samsung EVO 2.5in ssd (the M.2 version simply cost too much), and then attached to the rear of a 24in monitor. The end result is a very nice package that I am hopeful will last 5-7 years.One wish: That I could have found a 6-12in length HDMI-to-miniDP cable. The shortest I could find was 3ft and that simply clutters up the back of the monitor/NUC combo.
