The front/ top is incredibly plain with just a hard drive activity light and a power on button which lights up when the device is on.
Here is a closer look at that button and LED light.
On the bottom we have some detailed multi-lingual information, some non-slip rubber feet and some ventilation.
This side has a single USB 2.0 port while the other side is totally blank.
The rear has the DC power input, a Kensington lock, two USB 2.0 ports, two HDMI 1.4 outputs and integrated Gigabit LAN.
Each of the feet doubles up as a screw cover for the screws that hold the casing on, we will be stripping the NUC down on the next page!
Anyone interested in seeing a hands-on with the device can watch the below video where Andy Ruffell unboxes and discusses the Intel NUCDCCP847DYE.

It’s not for me personally atm. It’ll be a long time before I warm to something like this. If it goes from strength to strength and drops in price it could be viable.
Yeh that is basically what it needs. About a 30% price reduction to make it more attractive. I’d take a normal desktop system or laptop anyday.
These are turning out to be quite popular in the corporate space. More then enough power to do most tasks and support depts. love these as it is easy to just swap out when one goes wrong, resulting in little user downtime.
