This is my first venture with an Intel NUC and I am very satisfied. I was looking for exactly this kind of a unit. This has got lots of power in a very small footprint. I had to set the BIOS to Legacy boot from UEFI but that was easily accomplished. Fairly easy to put together. Be careful when installing the NvME chip with the little screw to fasten. Need jewelers screwdriver for that. It was easy to install POP_OS! Linux. Everything works well. I would recommend. I went with the Amazon recommendations for 16GB of Corsair RAM and 256 NvME SSD Samsung drive. Very quiet and runs cool.
