I used this for building a music production / DJ system. I'm very happy with the portability, performance, size, and overall design of the NUC. I put together a system with 32GB of RAM (I just searched for the type Intel listed) and a Samsung Evo 960 SSD. The build itself is tiny and durable so it's very portable which is great because I want to eventually set up a custom case for it with the DJ controllers. The performance issues I was having on a laptop went away so I'm very happy. The Skull Canyon went beyond what I had expected for something of its size and so far has been a great system for me, it could be the RAM or the lightning fast SSD but I notice zero stutter or jitter in general tasks that could stall a decent desktop workstation.
