Sleek, shiny, and with a smaller footprint than a wireless modem, the Intel NUC with the 4th generation Intel Core i5 processor is at home in your living room, your office, or your media center. The new Intel NUC packs more features into an even slimmer form factor. The Intel NUC comes complete with Intel HD graphics 5000 to ensure a brilliant HD experience, Intel Quick Sync Video for fast video encoding, and Mini DisplayPort 1.2 for driving 4K displays. Couple this with a stereo/mic jack along with four USB 3.0 ports and an infrared sensor for your remote control, and you can create a home entertainment system, a gaming machine, a digital jukebox, or all of the above. You can immerse yourself in movies, TV, or games in 4 square inches, without the need for discrete hardware. The Intel NUC: as small as a game controller, as powerful as a dragon slayer.

Superior Processing And Graphics
The D54250WYK is equipped with the 4th generation Intel Core i5-4250U processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, automatically allowing processor cores to safely run faster than the base operating frequency for short durations to maximize performance. It also features visibly smart graphics, using Intel HD Graphics 5000 to provide amazing performance and visually stunning graphics for immersive gaming, media editing with Intel Quick Sync Video, and HD playback with Intel Clear Video HD Technology (Intel CVT HD).
Pros:
- Love the design and it seems to be built really well.
- Was very fast.
- When you opened the box, it played Intel's theme music. Cool, I guess.
Cons:
- No digital coaxial/optical output, only HDMI for audio. You can buy devices to split the signal, but that's extra money. It also introduces weird HDMI handshaking issues (even with Dr. HDMI).
- The onboard NIC was flaky. I'm a professional network engineer and I many different types of networking gear in my house, of varying grades. I couldn't get the NIC to reliably connect to anything. Link lights would come on for a short while, then they'd go off. Manually setting my switch to use 100Mbps/Full Duplex was the only thing that got this connection moderately stable, and that would take anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes to fully negotiate after boot time. I tried many versions of drivers; the behavior was the same.
