THANK YOU BASED INTEL

And it's going to cost $500 for a box that still doesn't have any RAM, storage or OS

trash it goes
No GPU

What exactly is this thing useful for?
It seems like it's basically a laptop without a hard drive or screen.
>>55591747
That is what a NUC is in a nutshell
Except it's not cheaper than a gimped laptop
NUCs are a scam

Any idea why people are all worked up over their existence?
I can't actually envision a purpose for one that wouldn't better be served by a different piece of hardware.
>>55592089
I can't think of a single person who is actually excited other than retard Intel fanboys and trolls.
>>55592099
Well that just about sums it up.
Let's call it a day, boys.
>>55591747
for server clusters... its a mac mini clone

Are they really cost effective, as opposed to buying a bunch of Poweredges or ProLiants?
At least the rack units would have way better uptime, but worse power consumption.

The compute sticks by Intel are interesting IMO. NUC besides the first initial glance never caught my interest due to how impractical they are across the board.

Kaby lake is windows 10 only trash.

Why wouldn't they do something like a RPi cluster instead? Cheaper less power and heat.
>>55591084
So it's basically a laptop MINUS:
>A screen
>A keyboard
>A trackpad
>A battery
>RAM
>Storage
Thinking about it, it's actually amazing how fucking overpriced they are. Seems also silly that they won't put 35W or even more CPUs in those things.

RPi's are stupidly underpowered, when applied to heavy computing tasks. They have something like a 700 MHz ARM processor.
A dude built a 32 RPi cluster and only managed 10.7 GFLOPS out of it. Granted, it was only around $1.4k.
For 5k you could set up a cluster of 56 thinkpads (you can buy old ones in bulk), and with an average of 3GFLOPS per computer, that's 160ish GFLOPS of power. Much better $/GFLOP ratio.

even a pentium 4 xeon would do you justice for regular server operations
