SimplyNUC, Inc.Reviews of simplynuc.com

A product I could not find elsewhere at a reasonable price. A solid product, less expensive than the competition but more expensive than I wanted to pay; however, my client didn't mind in the least. Overall, a good experience. I cannot give five stars at this time because I am waiting on feedback from my client about the product.

Overall a good experience but a couple minor issues. First, shipping was initiated twice and the first tracking number was nullified but kept in communication and caused some confusion. Second, My attempts at fresh installation of Win11 repeatedly failed. There's no indication whether the issue was with Windows or the NUC itself. Eventually I did a search and found out there was a well known issue with Intel's latest network chipset and the non-trivial solution involves manual intervention in the Windows installation process, which may not be easy to understand and execute for a common consumer. Maybe a note regarding this in the package would have helped, but then it may scare off some buyers. Anyway, the end-to-end experience was not as smooth as I'd hoped for.

The tiny NUC replaced a server-board-based system with a pair of Xeons that I had been running since 2007, probably had a volume of 2 cubic feet. The new NUC is somewhat faster than the ancient Xeon system, which had been upgraded many times. The reason I am not giving 5 stars is that audio output initially did not work under Ubuntu/Kubuntu, I had to reconfigure the logical linkages in the audio system. Also, once in a blue moon, the system will boot to a lockup, although I don't remember that happening since my latest BIOS update. Good system, overall. BTW, I've been programming anything programmable since about 1970, estimated to be among 500 most intelligent humans ever to exist.

First order had a glitch with funds transferal but they resolved it in a timely manner. Second order was placed on a Thursday and it arrived Monday noon. Bought a new monitor hooked it up and powered up. Everything came up working. The only configuring I did initially was to put in my network password to have internet. The Ubuntu looks good and is sufficently functional but i will be spending much time configuring to the way I want it. So far it has been easy and Gome's HELP has been helpful. I'm being spoiled.

Fast shipping but survey is a bit spammy. -1.

Good customer support and good perfroming product in the end. However, when the product arrived one RAM stick was not well seated and caused boot failure. I fixed it by reseating RAM myself and it booted well after that.

The service was great until I received my NUC. The power cord had a euro plug and I had to splice a us cord.

Shipping delay otherwise good communication.
