Hi!
I just ordered the Intel NUC D54250WYK2 With Core i5 4250U 1.3 GHz, 120GB msata SSD and 16GB RAM.
That was before even actually knowing what this unit is good for. My lady is sick of my old desktop doing service in the livingroom as HTPC, so when I found about thos NUC I didnt care much about what it would do, 'coz I know it will do everything that my old desktop does atm, and I hope it Works even harder.
So, have someone in here tried out this Version? At the moment I only got a fullHD TV to Connect it to as far as Picture is concerned. But can this system deliver 4K Pictures if I get a 4K TV? I thought the HDMI2.0 was a must-have for 4K?
Sorry for my bad English..
BTW: I was planning on running Win7x64 ultimate as OS on the Box because that's a OS the ladyfriend and the Girls(10 and 15) knows from the precent system With the same OS With XBMC as "HTPC-engine".
PS: I hope this is the right thread..?

The family should never see the operating system on an XBMC install. Use openelec!

chromium already is integrated into unofficial addons
torrent clients also exist
teamviewer for sure not ...
(PS: In linux world one uses ssh - no need to click arround anywhere)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I do not need Teamviewer for XBMC.
I need Teamviewer to help out With other Things happening when I'm away for work for weeks in a row when the lady of the house is turning Purple and just wants to attack the Whole hifi-rack With a chainsaw.. If you Catch my drift..
This NUC is for 80% of its time going to run XBMC, and for that use the Teamviewer is not required(I hope). But for the other 20% of its usage there may occur problems(from experience) where a solution like Teamviewer is needed. And again, since that system is a bit familiar to both the lady and the kids I hope to continue using that one..

Use ssh. Much more efficient, you cannot click anything in OE anyways.

Hi guys,
I experienced a weird issue yesterday.
I was playing youtube videos with the youtube addon, but each time I press "stop" to stop the clip, screen goes black and the TV says "no video signal".
Pressing the power button powers down the NUC but it reboots already without doing anything and with no video output signal.
Rebooting a number of times doesn't change anything, but using the remote android application to launch anything (serie, film, even music) switches the video output on.
I have a 3410 using HDMI, on Openeelec 4 Beta 1, and I never experienced this in any other classic situation.
Would you think it would be linked to the addon, the NUC, the OE Bêta?
I thought about upgrading the Bios too, but seems like v25 doesn't change much from v24...
Anyone would have experienced the same?

@ focke_oeuf
just tried to reproduce this. No problem for me. It's working as it should.
I also use Nuc D34010 with openelec 4 beta.
