The era of the mini-PC is certainly upon us. We?ve recently reviewed a considerable number of these compact, palm-sized systems and have certainly been impressed by what's on offer. Numerous brands opt use Intel-based systems and today we are to turn to this hardware giant (courtesy of CCL Computers) to investigate what they have to offer by way of the new lineup of NUC kits.

The NUC Kit NUC5i3RYK is a petite computer system which takes advantage of Intel's Core i3-5010U. Under today's review configuration, CCL Computers are supplying 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 and a Crucial MX2000 250GB SSD. By all accounts an initial look at the hardware specification, features and size allude to a rather exciting piece of kit!
