I was able to get Windows 7 installed but i had to use Legacy boot check which it says to disable in the pdf file for Windows 7.
Openelec was still a no go for me no matter what options i tried. Just locks up after selecting install from usb boot stick.
If i can get Windows 7 (64bit) drivers along with HD audio working and (or) Openelec supported I will be one happy camper.
Thanks for you help....

does somebody want to run some kind of benchmark? the only one available tus far (the one for n2810 on cpubenchmark) looks pretty suspect and I'm curious about how it would fare against a celeron 1007u or 1037u mini box

A real shame this doesn't have mSATA. There's mini-PCI express but according to the specs it does not support mSATA. I think I will wait until they release one with both mSATA and 2.5": don't want the slowness and inconvenience of having the OS and media on the same disk.

There must be hundreds of posts about people wishing the NUCs had a 2.5" over mSATA before this one. Intel releases 1 NUC out of about a dozen that have mSATA and your wishing this particular one had mSATA?!

"A real shame this doesn't have mSATA. There's mini-PCI express but according to the specs it does not support mSATA. I think I will wait until they release one with both mSATA and 2.5"
The design of this NUC model is all about driving the overall cost down. Having both SATA and mSATA support would raise the price. That's also the reason you get only one HDMI port and no DisplayPort. This design is the low-cost, entry level, HTPC and/or workstation model.
That being said, my ideal usage model for an HTPC is a NUC with both mSATA and internal SATA support. That way I can run my OS on the mSATA and have a large, cheap platter SATA drive for media and recorded TV storage. For that you'll want the i3 board in the tall case (releasing very soon). It gives you the best of both worlds.

when it says that DTS-HD passthrough will be supported soon, does it also mean that we will be able to passthrough TrueHD and other HD audio?

Hi Jason.
Thanks for joining the forum. Burning Questions that come up repeatedly on here, that would be great for Intel to answer:
1. Can you submit a test to cpubenchmark.net so we can compare N2820 vs Celeron 1007U ?
2. What does DTS-HD support in the product literature mean ? Passthrough only or decode?
3. Will there be passthrough for TrueHD, DTS-HD HR ?
4. Does the graphics hardware contain the 23.976 fix in the Haswell NUCs? <== this one is the most asked.

I've passed on the questions from this thread to the team. I'll post as soon as I hear back.
