According to our barebone expert
The Intel Bean Canyon is a mini computer that's suitable for use at the office. Thanks to its small size, you can place this small PC on every workplace. If there really is no room left, you can even put it behind a monitor. This way, you have enough workspace left on your desk. Thanks to the Intel Core i5 processor, you can easily perform tasks such as editing PivotTables. On top of that, the Intel Iris Plus graphics allow you to easily play videos in Full HD and 4K. The barebone has room for up to 32GB RAM; you can install both an M.2 and a 2.5-inch SSD in this barebone.
Note: This barebone is missing several key parts, such as RAM, hard drives, and an operating system.

Bought this Nuc to replace my atx box (was 9 years old) which serves as a streaming device. In addition, browsing the Internet and YouTube. Transferred SSD from old PC, with a little effort, and mounted 16Gb memory bank. Bios configured and after that this little device works like a spear.
Test performed with Handbrake, 11Gb BD file converted to Apple TV compatible 3.21Gb file in 1 hour and 4 minutes. While a stream is turned on.
Nuc addressed his cooling, but did not experience this as an annoying noise, a slight buzzing sound.
All in all, a wolf in sheep's clothing, which you can use for years after adding an SSD (or M.2 SSD) and a memory bank.
look out!! Enable legacy boot otherwise your SSD/m.2 will not be seen as a boot device! Samsung EVO 860 and higher is supported, in addition of course the Intel SSD. Other brands/types may not be able to be controlled properly.

This nuc is the last of a series of 4 that I bought as a home test/study environment. Ideal for testing vSphere and/or storage things. I had bought nuc7i5BNH before, and these are also very good, but the nuc8i5 with the quad core CPUs is unbelievably fast. This replaces my desktop pc (quadcore AMD Athlon from 7 years old with 6GB ram :) ), runs windows and esxi as VM. The virtual esx instance is as fast as the nuc7 that run it natively. In short, I'm very happy with it, and even games work very well. In short: a "great bakske" :), especially with full flash storage

Bought NUC for a very specific purpose. To install Roon Rock. Roon is a music server program for streaming and has its own Linux-based operating system for this NUC, among others.
Getting the lid off is a bit of fiddling, but once it's off it's all pretty easy. SSD in, screw it in. Clicking in memory also happened that way. Cover again. Connecting to a monitor, holding down f2 during boot will take you to the extended BIOS. I had to put the USB first to be able to install directly from that USB after a reboot. 3 minutes later the OS was on it. And since that time, the NUC has been neatly doing its job in the meter cupboard.
Very pleased with this purchase, small, quiet and affordable.
