Hey everyone,
I was able to get the NUC5I3RYH for $285 delivered, however I'm having a little buyer's remorse. I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck while at the same time use small efficient hardware. I'm going to be using my existing Intel 330 120GB SSD with Windows 7. I already have a Dell U2415H w/ AC511 soundbar on order and have the two 4GB KVR16LS11/4 in my possession. The usage will be MS Office (Excel, Word, Access), accounting software (Quickbooks, MS Money), and some web browsing.
In your opinion, is it worth paying the extra $100 for the Broadwell i5 NUC, given my usage scenario? Or will the performance difference be unnoticeable? It sounds like browsers, and software in general, will start to leverage the GPU more and more, so that makes me feel better.
