The i3 NUCs are equipped with Intel Rapid Start Technology, ensuring you are quickly up and running, and Intel Smart Connect Technology to keep you up to date at all times.

Product Differences

Apart from the differences between the i3 and i5 models mentioned above there is also one other major difference. Two of the available NUCs have an “H” at the end of their model number. This means that they are able to accommodate a single 2.5” hard drive or SSD as well as a M.2 SSD. The benefits of this is being able to have an M.2 SSD as the boot drive and a 2.5” drive for storage. This increases the height to 48mm compared to the NUC that only supports M.2 SSDs which are 32mm tall.
