Hi!
An Audio Engineer friend of mine has been following this discussion and
sends comments regarding Kelly's statement below and Mini PC machines thus.
Hmm; ignoring all the emotive garbage, there *is* at least *some* truth
to the statement, inasmuch as the I5 isn't a patch on the I7: no

I have to disagree since it is a matter of what you wish to do with the machine.
What I mean by that is that you can buy Macs that are high powered and are more
than capable for audio and video editing.
However, if you decide to buy a budget machine, then that is what you get, an
under powered
I thought the differences between i5 and i& processors were more to do
with the handling of video encoding/decoding and display.
On what do you base your statements regarding audio editing?
I use several computers here, my Windows Desktop is an I5 along with my
iMac, so what am I missing when
It is an i5, which sucks for audio editing. It is doable, but not as

Macs are overpriced and underpowered compared to high performance
Windows machines.

Interesting you took it that way as its vastely different from a Mac
mini, try configuring a Mac Mini yourself and see how you get on .
The only similarity between the Nuc and the Mac Mini are the size of the
machines really, even the entry level Mac Mini is more expensive than a
Nuc though ha
I was simply going by the fact that this is made to look like a Mac Mini and
that is all. Smiles.

These machines are no pretenders, they’re proper Intel machines, much the same
as your Desktop or Notebook but one hell of a lot smaller, perfect as the
audio/video hub in your lounge room because of their size, put them literally
anywhere, can you imagine a desktop machine taking up room in you
Here here.
Very well said. Why buy a pretender.

Yes you’re right about the review, there are different models of Nuc around it
seems, the review was focusing on a Quad Core i5, there are Duo Core models and
they are cheaper, certainly they would provide the functionality most people
would need.
The memory you could probably install yourself
Well, the prices quoted in the review were a whole bunch more than $75.
If you have the help or are competent to install the memory and
storage, then $75 plus that stuff isn't a bad deal.

Seems too expensive for something you have to add lots of things to,
like your ram and storage. Buy the Mini and be done with it.

Okay, here’s something that is similar to the Mac Mini machine we’ve been
discussing on list, a review is linked to below.
I’m very tempted to set one of these things up myself but be warned, this
computer is not for those who want something up and running in 2 seconds as you
have to build it u
