Intel is abandoning the coolest thing the company makes.

Damn, this is a sad day for the homelab.

The article says Intel is working with partners to “continue NUC innovation and growth”, so we will see what that manifests as.

Lenovo or HP mini PC would be a much better bang for your buck.

They’re also a lot bigger and don’t really fall under the same miniPC classification.

They’re not a lot bigger than a NUC. My HP mini PC’s footprint is like 8"x8"

And NUCs are usually 4x4. That’s literally half the footprint.

Edit: a quarter of the size. This is why I don’t do math before coffee.

Unless space is the absolute unchangeable primary concern than the size difference doesn’t matter.

Okay, sure, but we’re talking about inches. 8x8 isn’t a large footprint. Don’t be obtuse. Also 4x4 is 1/4 the footprint of 8x8.

Don’t you mean a quarter of the footprint? It’s half the size per side.
