Since I entered the world of PT, I have been unable to extricate myself. Every time I encounter a big movie or series, I will download my favorite. I can use the desktop to download too much power, and the noise is too loud when I download it. It directly affects sleep, so I wanted to make a low noise. Download machine.
Since it is a download machine, there is no much demand on the performance, i3 CPU more than enough; head to small, it is best to put on the desktop directly; low noise, can not affect sleep; the future may have to play as a living room computer 4K video. Looked on the Internet, there are 3 options: NAS, ITX, NUC. The NAS is more in line with the requirements, but the system is not familiar with it. We do not know if it can support Thunder offline download or Baidu network disk, and it looks like it does not support 4K video, so PASS. ITX chassis is still a big point for me, PASS. Finally saw Intel's NUC.
Coincidentally, Intel's 7th-generation NUC has just been launched. The CPU's built-in graphics card supports 4K playback. However, only the 6th-generation NUC is available in the country, and it is not known when the 7th-generation NUC will be listed.
There are two i3 levels of the 7th-generation NUC that have just been listed. One supports both 2.5-inch SSDs and laptop hard drives, and also supports M.2 SSDs, the model is NUC7I3BNH; the other only supports M.2 SSDs. , Model is NUC7I3BNK, this one is thinner than NUC7I3BNH, and cheaper 5 knives. Buy NUC7I3BNK in addition to buy memory, but also to buy a M.2 SSD, but there is an idle 2.5 inch Inventec M550 SSD, choose to support 2.5-inch hard drive NUC7I3BNH more cost-effective.
7th generation NUC configuration table:
The price of this NUC I bought is $299.99, which is a total of $399.96 for freight and taxes, of which the tax is $90. However, paying taxes is an obligation that citizens should fulfill.

The first time I see this box
NUC packaging
Open the package lid
When I took out the NUC, I was surprised. The box was small, but I didn't expect the body to be so small. How small is it?
How small is it? Look at the picture below
The NUC covers an area that is no bigger than the footprint of a single disc.
The middle yellow interface is a USB 3.0 interface with charging function.
Take out NUC
Manuals, brochures
The panel that can be installed on the back of the monitor, there is no hole in the back of my ViewSonic monitor, so this board can't be used anymore.

After unscrewing the screws in the bottom four corners, slowly lift the screws to lift the bottom plate together. Note that the FRONT arrow points to the front of the NUC, which is the side with the power button
After removing the bottom plate, you can see the 2.5-inch hard disk
Raise the hard drive seat, did not find the wireless network card, it is estimated on the other side of the motherboard. The black color next to the QR code in the upper right corner of the figure is the M.2 slot, which supports SATA and NVME.
Install memory
Installed 2.5-inch SSD, I bought 128G Yingda SSD in 14 years, at that time it took more than 700 oceans
Finally, cover the bottom panel and tighten the screws. Note that the direction of the bottom panel arrow points to the front of the NUC
Power supply, support domestic voltage
Various adapters
There is a bracket on the power supply. Press the bracket first and then push it out. Then push the second plug on the figure directly into the power supply.
The light on the power button has always been on after power on, but where is the hard disk light? Look at the picture below
The blue line is the hard disk light. The rectangular frame is bright when reading and writing the hard disk.
BIOS screen, the monitor uses the old monitor
The process of installing Windows10 did not take pictures, installed various drivers after entering the desktop, and the blue screen after rebooting was suddenly depressed. What makes me depressed is that I also turned FastBoot mode on before. In the Fastboot mode, the keyboard is not enabled before entering the system, resulting in an inability to choose to enter safe mode. There are also no options for entering EFI in Win10's advanced options. No choice but to remove the floor, take the yellow jumper next to the memory to clear the BIOS (below). What made me desperate then was that I did not have a backup system and could not recover. No choice but to reinstall the system.
Just one day before I got my hands, I haven't tried it in detail. I'll write it here first.
to sum up
This NUC head is really small, and the noise is very low (I am most satisfied with this), support SATA and NVME SSD, WIFI, Bluetooth, infrared readily available. The disadvantage is that the price is not cheap, after all it is just listed.
