The good:0. The NUC is tiny - virtually weightless1. 4-Core 8-Thread i5-8259U CPU with a powerful iGPU (although not comparable to an entry level GPU like NVidia MX150 )2. Extremely power efficient - so you can use this PC for any 24/7 workloads such as Media-server or HTPC3. Thunderbolt-3, USB 3.1, Built in Wi-Fi with out protruding antennas, Bluetooth 5, HDMI4. VESA Mount option - I finally managed to drill holes into the back of my monitor (which actually doesn't support VESA mount) and successfully mount the NUC5. Very Quite even under extreme CPU stressThe Bad:1. Very Expensive - Indian retailers are selling these NUCs with an additional margin of anywhere from 5 to 10 thousand - The package doesn't include power chord which supplies power from from switchboard to the power brick. Need to shell out 300 bucks extra for this.2. Even if you choose to buy at this price, you still need to buy your own Windows 10 copy, RAM and SSD or NVMe SSD or a Hybrid HDD - this takes the whole budget beyond a custom built PC which can be more powerful in this price range3. The NUC is not up-gradable, the big let down is you can't simply plug-in PCIe devices like you do on a desktop PC4. The NUC is powered by a power brick which almost in size equal to the NUC itself, this is annoying to manage5. No Power backup - if any glitches in power the NUC instantaneously turns off, leaving your applications in a compromised/corrupted state6. 4K support over HDMI is limited 30Hz, this is not enough for real 4K HDR  streaming from Netflix or Amazon prime7. CPU is soldered into the motherboard, so you can't simply swap the CPU with a better CPU from futureIf Intel is serious about the consumer experience, then they should focus on the below1. To integrate the power brick into the NUC itself, help reduce the cable clutter2. Whatever the battery backup that Intel can offer in these NUCs, it should do that immediately to allow the users gracefully shutdown the machine in the event of power failure3. Cable clutter - VESA mount is only useful if you offer shortened HDMI/DVI cables to the monitor4. As the NUC iGPU is not up-gradable, Intel might need to seriously consider offering more powerful iGPUs, the Iris Plus 655 falls short on many common workloads5. Not sure why AMD is not offering the similar CPUs, if they do, then Zen2+Radeon based AMD iGPUs could turn out to be a better option than Intel NUCs.From My experience, I strongly feel that these NUCs are very expensive with same old cable-clutter with little to no gains on the tiny form-factor advantage as Intel projects.1. It's better to go for a Gaming Laptop which gives you the same benefits as NUC with no cable-clutteror2. Go for a Custom built PC if you can live with the cabling mess but with extra boost in specs.or3. If you really insist on NUC, then better go for 8th gen i3 version instead of i7 or i5, it's Rs. 11,000 cheaper than i5 version with negligible performance drop while still being a beast.
