Ultra Compact. Ultra Impact.
Think you know what small
can do? Think again.
A revolution in ultra-compact device design,
Intel® NUC packages a fully scalable, computing
solution in the smallest possible form factor,
complete with the Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™
processor. This new generation computing
device provides a exible, customizable engine
to drive digital signage, kiosks, and intelligent
computing for small spaces, or anywhere else
you can imagine. Intel NUC also has triple

display
capabilities for multiple monitoring
and display, along with Intel® vPro™ technology
which lets your IT service provider remotely
manage or repair your system. With that kind
of power and size, you’ll rethink what’s
possible. Because the only thing more amazing
than Intel® technology is what you’ll do with it.
Superior processing and graphics
Visibly smart graphics using the 3rd generation
Intel® Core™ i5-3427U processor equipped with
the integrated Intel HD4000 graphics to provide
amazing performance and visually stunning
graphics across a triple display conguration.
Advanced technologies
Based on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™
processor, you’ll get embedded security that
helps keep threats out, user identities and
credentials safe, and clients and data protected.
If that wasn’t enough, this processor is also
responsive to your users’ computing needs,
while delivering the manageability you’ve
come to expect from Intel vPro technology.
