I will say that there are a lot of confusing stories about NUC out
there. It's a combination of multiple operating systems, multiple
versions of NUC (with greatly varying Intel chipsets), multiple BIOS
versions and differing expectations.

In terms of that last point, of course someone who expects perfect
movie playback at 23.976Hz has different needs than someone who cannot
see the difference.

Overall my view is that the NUC is overhyped, and in NZ is overpriced
(as is much of our tech gear).
