Intel NUC 12 NUC12WSHi7 Wall Street Canyon Mini Computer 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260P, 12 Cores(4P+8E), 16 Threads, 18MB Intel Smart Cache, Intel Iris Xe Graphics,32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Win 11 Pro

Fantastic option for light 3D design, including small Revit models.

I keep computers for a long time, but I recently saw a friends Mac Mini and I got jealous - even though I never buy Apple products. I am so glad I discovered this tiny powerhouse. After booting Windows and convincing myself that I wanted to keep the computer, I installed Fedora and set it up the way I like. With 12 cores and 32G of RAM, it makes an awesome QEMU/KVM host. The machine is sleek, quiet, fast, and rock-solid. The BIOS interface gives you fine-grained control, unlike (for example) Dell machines. Im a coder and this machine is perfect for me.

I had a little trouble with delivery. The first shipment got lost in transit. Amazon was great and got a replacement out to me ASAP. Set up like a charm and works great for file server in a peer to peer network.

Had an initial issue with the windows hdr setting defaulting to on so graphics looked bad. Once I fixed that, it was great and graphics were beautiful. Games load fast. No lag playing diablo immortal with graphics maxed. Was skeptical but ended up loving it. It really is that small. I have small hands to give you a sense of scale. No heat build up. Performance plus tiny footprint is a winner. Customer service and tech support are excellent. Just added a screen shot of diablo iv. I was not sure how it would run but it is great and looks wonderful. I have most of the graphics settings on high.

My little NUC arrived as I took it out of the box, I noticed a rattle inside unit. OH NO!!! I am not saying unit would not work with the lose something inside, but why take that chance.

Small, and smokin fast. Whats not to love.

performs better than expected, I run it 24hrs a day with out any overheating. Has ample storage as well as active memory, all solid state. very quiet.

I’d like to note that an NVME with a heat sink will not fit unless you remove the SATA bay. I have a 2TB nvme and 64GB RAM running Proxmox with several VMs on this thing.

Straight out of the box it was very easy to setup the computer and it has been working very well.

Overall I could not be happier with my purchase. I am utilizing this PC within my homelab. It comes with Windows installed and is easy to dual-boot with Ubuntu. It is very quiet overall and is incredibly powerful. Im running ~16 containers (one of which is a hardware-accelerated Jellyfin docker container) and it is set to pass 20% CPU utilization. Perfect for even demanding tasks
