Intel NUC 7 Business Kit (NUC7i5DNK1E) - Core i5 vPro, Short, Add't Compoenents Needed

I'm used to using the NUC7i3BNK but this one had same day delivery and I needed 3 of them quickly. These are used for basic office use, I put a 128GB M.2 SSD in them (I load the images on them through a USB adapter using Acronis True Image), 8GB of RAM and Win10Pro licenses. Been using the NUCs for this purpose for 3 generations now with no issues.This NUC is VERY similar to the NUC7i3BNK (same CPU, Graphics, WiFi, TDP, Form Factor, and Warranty) except the DNKE does not have a 3.5mm Headphone/Speaker jack, does not have a yellow USB charging port, and has a 2nd HDMI port instead of USB-C.

This is a perfect Mini-Server. I use it to host a CentOS Environment for developing websites. It's faat, quiet and just perfect for what I need.

Anyone complaining about the fan noise must have the hearing of a 3 year old! I rarely notice it, and if I do, it's still more quiet than typing on my keyboard. Also, this box had no issues with installing a flavor of linux; which I can't say the same about other SFF machines I've tried.

It's so good developer machine.- tiny (smaller then CD)- Powerful computing (compare my laptop. i7-5600U)This NUC enough to Build and Test programs. (not 3D Application)

A great small form factor PC for the cost. I’ve purchased many NUCs for work, but I will caution this latest model is a bit noisy (fan) compared to prior generations. It’s not significant, but it’s noticeable. Minus one star for that, otherwise another winner from intel.

I bought this for a small desktop application--word processing and spread sheets. It work fine for about 30 days and then it refused to boot. This included not even opening the Bios page.As an addendum, I can't get anyone from Amazon to help with the return or the replacement policy that I purchased.

I used the crucial memory (16gig) and the 960 EVO NVME M.2 (250gig). Installation requires a small Phillips screwdriver and couldn't be simpler (4 screws in the back, one smaller screw inside to fasten the M.2). Ubuntu 18.04 installed in about 15 minutes from a boot-able USB stick. I have yet to notice any fan noise under normal loads; this a quiet unit. Everything works immediately including Bluetooth and the AC511 Dell soundbar on my monitor.

I bought two of these to extend a test cluster for my home lab. They both came sealed in new packaging. After plugging in a M.2 SSD and a 16GB stick of RAM, they booted via USB fine. I have them stacked up under my desk now (they have rubber feet that allow a few to sit on top of one another -- I wouldn't stack more than 4 or 5 of them tho). It would be nice to have vPro support on these (it doesn't), but I can't complain given the price.
