Although this forum is about problems and troubleshooting, and I have some tiny issues of my own, I would like to congratulate the Intel team for the D54250WYK.
It is exactly what I needed and with 8GB memory, 240GB drive and Windows 7, it absolutely makes my day. What a great purchase I've made! I am glad that I waited a little bit and did not jump on some of the first generation NUCs. Intel definitely got their act together with the D54250WYK - I don't see any negatives.
I am also particularly impressed with the customer support from Intel in this forum, making it a great experience indeed.
Thank you Intel employees!!
