    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, when upgrading in the future, will go for the slimmer size :)
    Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2020
    It's really a perfect device size & performance. Definitely love it.
    All the respect for Intel for producing the great NUCs.

    I handcrafted a hole in my Ikea desk, so that it sits and fits perfectly hidden (maybe that's the reason for the below!).

    The only downside is that it gets hotter on hot weather days here in Cairo, Egypt.
    So unless I have the air conditioner on, the CPU temp can reach 90 celsius degrees while playing games such as CS:GO on steam.

    Wig that said, would definitely recommend Intel NUC.

    2a. actualización (2 meses de uso):
    Al final decidí no regresarla pero definitivamente los artefactos gráficos son un defecto. Intentaré recibir soporte del manufacturador en México y compartiré la experiencia.
    El HDD es horriblemente lento y la Optane de 16GB tiene un desempeño muy disparejo, exacerbado con un uso misceláneo de programas y/o varios usuarios registrados en la PC, cada uno con su perfil como es en nuestro caso. Recomendaría una Optane más grande, si fueran accessibles, pero a los precios que manejan las de 32 ó 64 GB, es más barato actualizar a un SSD de 500 GB, incluso uno m.2 NVMe (sólo soporta 2280 u 80mm de longitud), que es es lo que terminé haciendo. Cloné el disco, configuré el BIOS para arranque rápido y la PC quedó irreconocible; arranca en 15 segundos y el desempeño es incomparable. No se en qué estaba pensando Intel al venderla sólamente con el HDD de 5400 rpm y tan cara (USD$550 es el MSRP, me parece, aunque la he visto por $400 del otro lado).
    Dado el tiempo y dinero extra que he tenido que invertir en modificar el sistema, ya no la recomiendo más, a menos que deseen los gráficos discretos dedicados y no les importe actualizar el disco duro. Una opción un poco más barata o menos cara, según se vea, es la NUC8i3BEH barebone. Compré una y es más silenciosa. Le puse 16 GB RAM pero puedes ponerle hasta 32, me parece. Y con un SSD, vuela; mucho mejor que el desempeño de caja de esta NUC8i3CYSM, incluso con un NAND SATA de 2.5". Aún no pongo a prueba el desempeño gráfico.

    1a. actualización (2 semanas de uso):
    Aparecen artefactos gráficos al estresar el CPU y GPU. Opino que es un defecto, pues el Tjmax del Core i3-8121u es 105 °C y de la Radeon 540 no especifica, pero observo temperaturas máximas de 90 y 70 °C respectivamente corriendo DBFZ en configuración gráficas máximas, lo cual está en rango y suficientemente debajo del punto donde el CPU se tiene que desacelerar.
    El juego corre a 60 fps con caídas de rendimiento (debido al HDD) severas; en gráficos medios, las caídas no son tan severas ni duraderas, pero las hay, especialmente al cargar una pelea y en las escenas, y no afectan tanto durante la pelea casual.
    Este defecto podría afectar la productividad, por ejemplo, al renderear un vídeo o una animación o al hacer streaming. Es posible mitigarlo, manteniendo la unidad relativamente fría; CPU debajo de los 80 y GPU debajo de los 60 °C a ojo de buen cubero. La solución térmica ya viene con empastado, así que la única manera de mejorar las temperaturas sería destapando el sistema, lo cual queda fuera del uso común. Tal vez cambiando el HDD por un SSD que emita menos calor... la diferencia podría llegar a ser significativa.
    Ya tramité mi reembolso y estoy contemplando aún ejecutarlo, pues fuera de ese defecto, el sistema se desempeña muy bien y otros juegos más viejos y/o menos demandantes, corren bien, sin tartamudeos.

    Reseña inicial:
    La compré para la educación primaria de mi sobrina y estoy satisfecho. Corre DBFZ en 'medio' (que le encanta ^^'), así que para sus tareas está sobrada. El GPU es básico, pero más que suficiente para muchos juegos no-AAA y obviamente emulación.
    Ojo! Tuve que conseguirle un módulo Optane para acelerar el HDD de 5400 RPM con el que viene pues éste es penosamente lento. La diferencia de tiempo de arranque y respuesta es como el día y la noche, con el módulo acelerador.
    Tengo la duda de si es normal, pero el ventilador siempre está corriendo, aún sólo en espera. Tendré que hacer un monitoreo de baseline de temperatura y RPM (a distintas cargas) y asegurarme que no se desacelere por temperatura (no creo, pues el aire expulsado no es tan caliente). Luego, asumiendo que el CPU viene con un pad térmico solamente, se puede reempastar. Otra opción es utilizar las herramientas de Intel para ver si se puede 'tunear', para mejorar el ruido sin afectar el desempeño. Ya reportaré.
    Debajo de los 10K, me pareció buena compra. Conseguí el Optane de 16 GB barato, así que no estuvo tan mal. Se puede conseguir, usado, alrededor de los $200 pesos.
