Intel NUC 12 Pro Business Mini Desktop, Intel Core i5-1240P (12C/16T, Up to 4.4GHz) Mini Pc, 16GB DDR4 RAM 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, 8K/HDR/WiFi 6E/BT5.3/7x24 Hours Quiet Operation/Windows 11 Pro

This device replaced my 5 year-old, larger desktop. My motivation was to have a quiet, small form factor and more powerful machine for home use. The initial Windows 11 boot up was smooth and I easily installed all the applications I used previously. This included a 2004 version of Quicken and 2010 MS desktop. To increase the overall memory capacity I added a separate 500GB SSD, see photo, to increase the overall memory to 1TB. In addition, I purchased a CD drive to assist in application installation and some Thunderbolt 4 to USB 3.2 adapters. You will also need to purchase a power cord to connect the transformer to you home outlet. This evidently frees Intel from having to have different version for international sales. All these items are available on Amazon My current setup Front USB 3.2 – unused USB 3.2 – unused Back: Thunderbolt 4 - SSD Thunderbolt 4 with USB adapter - camera HDMI – monitor HDMI – unused USB 3.2 – mouse USB 2.0 – keyboard RJ45 - Unused Wireless – printer What I really like is the large number of high performance connections. This provides a lot of flexibility for new devices. For example, I can easily connect my slide scanner or CD drive to the front when needed. I’m not a gamer, so I can comment on that performance aspect. The most processing intensive application I perform is 35mm slide scanning. This requires multiple scans per slide, specifically visible light, Infrared, for dust removal and a third scan to remove inherent scan jitter. The scan time is much less than my previous I5-8400 series processor. It’s also very quiet, even when the fan runs occasionally. Overall it looks sharp, performs well and is very well made.

I bought this system to run a 3-monitor display networked to another main computer. I was impressed how easy it was to setup and how fast, and silent the system was. This system has an incredible array of USB ports and will support 4x4k (60hz) displays! But the description said 16GB of memory. When I check the system components, it said 8 GB of memory. I wouldn't buy from this vendor again. But Amazon couldn't give a credit for the memory, so I had to return the product. But I will buy another from another vendor. This 12 Gen Pro i5 is an incredible value. I am not sure why they wouldn't offer a 32GB+512 storage. I don't want to mess with the kit version.

The Intel NUC 12 Pro with the 12th Gen Core i5-1240P has been a great addition to my workspace. Its quiet operation was a surprise compared to an older NUC I had that sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I had been looking for a more expensive fanless case NUC, but glad I took a chance on this. Smooth and easy setup, no issues. The compact form factor doesn't seem to compromise on performance, and the 16GB DDR4 memory ensures responsiveness. A great choice if you're looking for a quiet, easy-to-use, and efficient mini-pc. Seller was great, good packaging, no complaints.

I have purchased dozens of these NUCs over the years and I have no idea why most people wouldn't buy this form factor. The only reason to get a full size computer anymore is if you need a gamer video card. Even then the new Iris XE graphics on this unit is very powerful. These NUCS have built in everything - Wifi, Bluetooth, Thunderbolt, 4x4K screens or an 8k, and Windows 11 Pro to boot. waitloan store delivered what was promised on time and the product outperformed my expectations. This is how business should be - great job guys!

Everything was perfect!!!

I bought this to replace another computer for our photobooth. Man thus thing is powerful and fast. Has enough ports for anything you need. Highly recommend this mini PC. It's quiet and small. Fits anywhere.

If you're looking for a small and powerful computer, this is a system that does the job well. I've purchased a couple of these NUC systems to work on light and intensive processing powered applications. These units are also stackable! I would buy again from this vendor.

I've been using this product daily for the past 6 months now without issue. I love how small and portable these are. These mini pcs are great for putting up in various locations around the home or office. With the proven reliability (at least from the device I have), I am thinking of ordering another one.
