Ready-to-use mini desktop for office work

This Intel NUC6i5SYH arrives with a dual-core i5-6260U processor, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD already installed. Windows 10 Pro is pre-loaded so the system is operational straight from the box. It targets students and home-office users who need a compact, quiet computer for everyday productivity.

Aluminium chassis with front and rear I/O

The black-and-silver enclosure holds two SoDIMM slots, one occupied by the supplied 16 GB module and one free for expansion up to 32 GB total. Front-facing ports include two USB 3.0 sockets and a headset jack; the rear adds two more USB 3.0 ports, mini-DisplayPort, HDMI and gigabit Ethernet. A 3-in-1 card reader, Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 handle removable media and wireless peripherals without extra dongles.

65 W adapter and integrated graphics set

The 65 watt power brick limits sustained turbo clocks, so heavy multi-threaded workloads will throttle below the 2.9 GHz maximum. Iris Graphics 540 drives 4K video playback through either video output but lacks the 3D throughput for modern gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering. Buyers who need discrete graphics headroom or more than two display outputs should look at larger form factors.
