Very surprised by the NUC.  I use it for daily surfing and streaming.  8GB Corsair, 120GB mSATA.  No wireless card as it will always be connected to the router.  Time of hardware install and OS(Win 8.1) took all less than 15 minutes.  Paired it with the Logitech K400r with no issues.  Was able to change BIOS settings right off the bat.  Love that i can hang it behind my TV.  This is really simple and i hope the way of the future.  If you just need a small unobtrusive PC, look into the NUC or others like it.
