History of Intel NUC mini PC Documentary

This documentary of the Intel NUC mini PC has four interviewees giving their thoughts on the Intel Next Unit of Computing from its beginning in 2011 to the present day. Various topics are discussed such as how the Intel NUC team was formed, launch of the first units, what they're used for, the failure of Intel Compute Stick, lack of marketing and the eventual partnership with AMD for Radeon graphics.

Rob, thank you for taking the time to showcase a product that changed the direction of computing for many. The NUC platform has served many people well for years and opened the door to the entire segment.

I recently picked up a Bean Canyon second hand by chance and it has literally replaced my desktop that I have been lugging around every time I have to move, Love it!

[LittleJoePeep]

Great documentary and nice to see the project was something the team really enjoyed. Nice work!

Just watched this again and it is still one of the best History videos, well edited. And not much has changed.... yet (to be continued)

One of the most interesting things I've ever seen on YouTube. Thanks, Rob!

This documentary is very informative, thanks for posting this. I had bought a nuc for personal use and ended up buying another one for my eldest. What grabbed me was it had a Intel core and it was tiny, the features on it were great, expandable memory and features and being a Small unit being able to take it with you etc benefits are not only brilliant but also very useful. Thanks for Designing this amazing product. Cheers

I still hope for Phantom Canyon to become a reality...Hades Canyon was such a neat product and deserves a refresh.

Im buying my first nuc for officework since i sold my gaminglaptop to a buddy of mine for $650
A j4415U nuc from AliExpress paired with 13.3" portable monitor feels a lot like laptop these days
And both of that only for $199 is still a good deal

10:05 Bonus points for the developers who know a good soundtrack to work to.

This is amazing, this really shows the Intel dysfunction has already been present in the past. Current gen processors blowing up is just an extrapolation of their corporate culture

[MorganEdgy]

A proper mini documentary for a mini market

[jacqueshilo]

Very professional, informative, and engaging. 10/10 would recommend

EVERY classroom in my school has NUCs combined with a video projector. It’s just normal at my school

[wavenskie]

It's the Intel Compute Stick that I bought back when I was in College the reason why I bought 3 Intel Nucs i7 today now that I can afford them to use in my business. I hope that people can see the potential of a tiny PC so that the market will grow and doesn't died down.

I saw one of those small pcs and almost shit myself. It’s insane how small they are yet pack so much powet

[wzk]

NUC is getting too big in size. I really need it as small as possible powered by USB C and not needing a special power brick.

[MrHsv]

My Nuc just decided not to turn on.The light is on the motherboard though. Any ideas what could be wrong with it .It's had minimal use.Its about 18months old .Thanks
