The Intel Ultra Core 7 155H processor powers applications with six Performance cores while eight Efficient cores and two Low Power Efficient cores handle background tasks. The Performance cores have a base speed of 1.4 GHz and can be boosted up to 4.8 GHz. A built-in Neural Processor (NPU) accelerates AI workloads.

There are two dual-channel DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM slots available, supporting up to 96GB. There is also an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and an M.2 2242 PCIe 3.0 x4 slot.

A front-facing USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port allows you to transfer up to 20 Gb/s with compatible devices. The front panel also includes two 10 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. The rear panel includes two Thunderbolt 4 slots, a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, and one USB-A 2.0 port.

Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) support provides access to the less congested 6 GHz band with compatible wireless networks. The 2.5G Ethernet port provides a fast and reliable wired internet connections.

Enhance your workflow by connecting up four displays through the dual HDMI and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

[Yes] I have owned two previous NUCs and I am absolutely delighted with this one! It's fast, well-built and runs cooler / quieter than my earlier NUCs. One thing you might want to know is that I had a few hiccups with installing both Windows 11 and various Linux Distributions, as they are still rolling out support for this NUCs latest hardware. Yet, I am sure that they will soon have this corrected. Over all, I was able to get both Windows and Ubuntu Linux working beautifully on it. 5

[2x HDMI 2.1] 12 cores, 16 threads..then add 1 TB M.2 SSD & 64 GB RAM..all in a package smaller than an old-school alarm clock. Open by loosening the four feet screws & very carefully open it up so as to not rip out the ribbon cable connecting the two halves. I wish they had models with at lease three network connectors so I can roll my own pfSense firewalls. 5

[5.3] I got this NUC to supplement my Synology DS918+ NAS that has been struggling with transcoding high bitrate Plex videos. It's such a joy to work with, so easy to access the expansion slots. It also sips power when idling, and doesn't really exceed 90W at full tilt. Also, you can customize the color of the power RGB LED in the CMOS setup. Just gotta dig for it. I'd include photos but apparently the review system here won't let me. 5

[3.07 lb] Using this as a desktop replacement. It works great! 5

Harrison	22/08/2024
[3.07 lb] Works perfect for my use. Just need windows 11, SSD, and ram and you are good to go. Just be aware the drivers are now from ASUS since they are the new company that is making the NUC. 5

[3.07 lb] This machine replaced the aging NUC5 on my wife’s desk. I set it up with enough DRAM and storage that she should be set for another eight or nine years. Very smooth assembly and software setup, great performance on the usual office apps, extremely quiet. 5

[2x HDMI 2.1] I see one reviewer had issues with the WiFi at first. The key is to download the Drivers in advance, if possible, to a thumb drive (BIOS update, Chipset, LAN, WLAN, Audio, Graphics, etc). As we know, Gen-13 is Intel's final offering. (I also own the i7-1370P version, increasing core and thread count.) Gen's 11-13 use a P (performance) cpu instead of a U (mobile) cpu. I also own gen 8 and 10 units and they function very well. The latest units are very robust and utilize updated protocols. The OEM manufacturers are already charging Much more, so it's time to find an Intel while they're still available. I have compared this NUC13 i7 unit to many other mini PC's on the market, but the Intel NUC has, I believe, the best (and updated) features overall including TB4 and USB4, WiFi AXE. And the M.2 SATA port is an added bonus. 5

[Yes] Using this as a desktop replacement. It works great for that purpose no issues. 5

[2x HDMI 2.1] The Intel NUCs hit in (almost) every way for a mini PC. If you can use a small but powerful machine, definitely consider one of these. Here at B&H I got the barebones i3 kit (without the drive or any memory) and installed MS Windows, memory, and the drive myself. Two tips for self-installers based on the other reviews: 1) Pressing the power button for three but not four seconds takes you to a menu allowing you to set options like boot order, make sure LAN is turned on, etc. 2) If installing Windows 11, you might only need to download the wireless driver to a USB and run the driver installer from there after Windows install to get connectivity. Afterwards, Windows Update will help you take care of the rest of the drivers, BIOS updates, etc. 5
