    yes but

    after buying a nuc 13 i5 desk edition (silver and white) which i'm happy with because it runs linux, i bought this as a second computer, thinking that only the colour and generation of i5 was changing. But when I received it, I noticed that the cable was different, and the case was not just different in colour: the case and cable supplied smelled bad (like some low-end products, which are becoming increasingly common, and in my experience the smell can sometimes take a whole year to fade. I didn't take the risk --> Thanks to LDLC for the returns service (and I'm investing a further €200 for the desk edition... shame, this one was a great deal on paper).
    beyond this problem of smell, and even concerning the pretty NUC desk, the quality of manufacture seems to me slightly lower than an Asrock barebone that I had before. I also have a Zotac i3 serie C (without fan) which gives an impression of greater solidity than NUC. in other words, although it is a small computer easily transportable in voyage, I do not recommend too much to connect and reconnect it often.

    A good machine

    It works well, and is easy to use for surfing the Internet.
    I put 32GB of Ram (2x16) and a 1TB M2 NVMe.
    However, I'm taking away one star because, like the other customer review, the three-pin power cable is missing.
    Personally, as I didn't have the earth, I got a bipolar and cut a notch in the cable so that I could insert it, as the terminal spacing between a bipolar and a tripolar is slightly different.
    Finally, if you use the windows media creation tool to install windows 11, the image does not contain the NUC network drivers for windows 11. Conclusion: installation is impossible because an internet connection is required. Tip: use Rufus to create a USB key from a windows 11 iso image. With Rufus, you can check the option "remove the need for an online Microsoft account". So you can install Windows 11, and then install the network drivers (available from the intel site).

    A small computer that doesn't have to be ashamed of the bigger ones

    I decided to take this Intel NUC to replace a big gamer PC for classic uses such as web browsing or other to limit power consumption and it does the job perfectly!
    I installed 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and the whole thing runs perfectly for simple office work. I've installed 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and it works great for simple office work. But don't forget to change the thermal paste if you don't want to end up with a blower on your desk.
    I'm taking off one star because the packaging is missing the cord that connects the plug to the power supply... You have to buy one separately because Intel probably wants to save a few cents... Uh I mean be careful with the planet !
