Intel Barebones in december?

[rossi94]

Intel already presented the NUC Barebones in the past. In december consumers should be able to get these small PCs.

Both PCs will use the Core i3-3217U (2 x 1,8GHz - 3 MB cache - 17W TDP) with Intel HD 4000 Grafics, mSATA SSDs and SO DIMMs. The price-specific-speculations are about $300 - $500.

Top or flop? Tell me your oppinion. :lol:

Very interesting....

Would be nice for rendering on-the-go and/or an HTPC.
I'm actually quite interested in this

Give it some VESA mounts and the low end version would be pretty perfect for an office environment. Failing that, a copious helping of Blu-Tack.
Shame there's no USB3. The chipset can support it, so I wonder why they vouched for Thunderbolt? I know it's theirs and Apple's love child, but USB3 is far more widespread in terms of peripherals and such.

Still, it's interesting to see Intel creating end-user products such as this.

As long as this isn't overpriced this could be very very interesting

This could be Really Interesting....

very interesting indeed

This mini-pc would be so much more awesome if it were in a Scooby-Doo lunchbox. However, it would perform better if it were in a Speed Racer lunchbox.

Exactly my thoughts, It's out of the way and easy to setup. Just hide it behind the monitor and get some wireless pripherals, clean and simple.

Now i want to buy one!

It would be even better if it came with a discreet GPU like a GTX-660M or something like that
Still I'm extremely interrested. Would still be a nice upgrade from my current system. Would need to buy an HDMI Monitor though.

HDMI monitors are pretty cheap these days. If youve got an HD tv it probably has HDMI inputs. My 42" Hd TV has 3x HDMI and I got it out of a pawn shop for $295aud. Uber for gaming on from across the room. Im no longer tied to my desk. \0/ win \0/

If they made sata interface 3.5" ones i would buy 10! What a beast that would be for folding

I think one of the reasons for thunderbolt could be the possibility of external graphics cards in the future. Thunderbolt is quick enough for that sort of thing.

 

[rossi94]

Also as a fast multidisplay interface, or for several hard drives, thunderbold can handle more than one device per port.
