Intel passed NUC baton to ASUS
(www.tomshardware.com)
I like the beelink and minisforum nucs more than Intel branded.
I have a beelink and its been a great pc.
I have in on backorder to use as my plex server
I known this us a few days old but just wanted to chime in. I've been enjoying the "1 liter/mini pc" trend in home lab/server lately. I got myself a couple of hp elitedesk mini 600 g4's for $120 each on ebay, they have an 8th gen intel i5 and support quicksync. If you're patient you can find similar mini pcs for around the $100 price range, they're generally cheaper than nuc or nuc clones and since they're big name brands (hp, lenovo, Dell, etc all have a version of them) you can find parts for them easily on the used market.
I saw some of the HP and Lenovo mini PC's on ebay, etc for a decent price. I went with the BeeLink because of the deal I got on it. $250 USD for a 10th gen i5, 16GB RAM, and a 500GB M2. Figure I would spend the bit of extra money for an more up to date proc and extra RAM. I tend to keep machines for a VERY long time so I wanted to start at a good spot.
You got me looking at these since I've been thinking about upgrading from my raspi w/ 2 ssd raid. Think this is a good deal to accomplish that?

I bought a HM80 a while back and am very happy with it. It replaced an Intel i5 Nuc, Would purchase again.
Definitely a fan of Bee-link. That's what all my lab compute is now.
I enjoy seeing all the new ASUS hardware but I’ve never had luck with their service department. For the past decade, any time I’ve dealt with them it has been a less-than-satisfying experience
Bro get your artichoke off the nuc
Funny how Asus swept that from Gigabyte who had already a similar product line
Asus also has a similar line. Just they carry and market this line of products in limited countries only.
It is also not that odd to see Asus grabbing the Intel NUC business. Intel NUCs have been contract manufactured by Pegatron, the OEM manufacturing spin-off of the original ASUSTeK Computer Inc., whose majority shareholder is still ASUSTek.
Ah, I see, didn't knew about the Pegatron bit. Thanks for the info!
And the ASRock Deskmini range. I'm currently using one with an older Kaby Lake i7 as my Docker host.
