Yes, you need to add memory and a SSD, in same models you can add and Msata SSD and a 2.5" Harddisk simultaneously

So if the base is $380, a decent SSD is $100 and memory is $70 (which is REALLY high) we are looking at $550 for a recent, very fast Intel i5 processor, 32GB of RAM or more and a screaming fast, current SSD desktop? It's not "OMG how did it get so cheap" but it sounds like a good deal to me, overall.

The problem are the expansions, you cannot add any PCI Express so you cannot change the Graphic card, sound card, add Sata drivers...

But don't get me wrong, I love Intel Nuc, I think my next desktop computer at home will be a Nuc.

I wish that AMD got into this game and made a similar unit themselves, too. The Intel NUC is a bit like the Raspberry Pi of the PC world.

Main problem with Nuc It's the price, It's about 20%-30% expensive than a normal desktop or Laptop.

It's 30% of the price? Isn't that a good thing? Why is that a problem?

is it really though?

MS had a special (yeah it was a special) on a Dell XPS 13 i5 yesterday for $670.

That's a very good deal. But the NUC is around $380, right? Sure it needs memory, but that's cheap. I'm not saying it is a better deal if you need a laptop, but if you are looking for a desktop how many machines are in a similar price range? Especially once you start deciding to get an SSD in them?

Google Notes or Google Keep ?

I mount one for a friend this Christmas.

Inside the Nuk an i5 with 1Tb 2.5" hd, 256Gb Sdd Msata2 and 8gb memory.

It runs very very very good, He uses Photoshop with this computer.

It's a nice choice.

Really Ubiquiti is doing impressive hardware. Also I like very much Mikrotik, cheap, and very powerful.

Here (Spain), in my company, we used to work with Sonicwall, but we found some issues and sometimes poor customer support and change brand. Client to site and SSL VPN was not free (only included one or two licenses, it depends on model)

I think one of important questions is Sonicwall is an UTM, acts like firewall, router and also security appliance. Acts also like a powerful load balancer. This lasts parts are also very important for me.

Now we work with Cyberoam, very powerful hardware, cheaper than Sonicwall (half the prize), includes reporting (CR25 up, hard disk inside), free SSLVPN, stable, and fantastic support. We are happy with them. Now is part of Sophos company, I hope the brand will continue this good work in future, and no surprises with the new owner, Sophos.

Thanks for you help.

PD: Parece que no soy el único español por aquí

It does not have good quality but chrome remote control it's free.

Sorry for my english level.

Yes i need 6 ports 1Gb.

I like Pfsense because is easy to learn and manage.

I see Ubitiqui as a great option but more complicate to install and with less support, and unfortunately i dont have enough time to install it.

I need at less 5 lans in the firewall to manage differents networks. Ubitiqui dont have it.

Company, at end, let me buy the Pfsense.

I'm thinking in this model.

Any other best option ?

Perhaps in minor Surgery, if you have a real problem, like cancer, there will no waiting, and of course It's Free

I do not know one way or the other.

The only real person I ever heard speak about it was a co-worker who moved from the US to England. They hated the system over there for elective type stuff.

A real example.

Last night I feel bad and with Flu, using Internet I get a date with my doctor this morning, doctor told me It was just a cold, She gave me the prescription for the medicaments.

I go to the pharmacy and bought the medicaments with a 80% of discount thanks to the prescription, I spend 2 €.

Of course visit the doctor is free.

I love this system.

It's difficult to me understand why some people in US don't want a public medical service, really difficult.

I have heard many stories of people having to wait a long time for procedures in other countries.

If you are lucky to have good insurance in the US, there is no waiting.

Perhaps in minor Surgery, if you have a real problem, like cancer, there will be no waiting, and of course It's Free

So glad to live in Canada where we don't have to deal with the complexities of the healthcare system. Almost everything is taken care of.

I can say the same in Spain.

I'm not sure about the hotfix but you can get around this issue by using the substitute command. It's really similar to net use

subst x:\localpath drive letter

So, if I wanted to substitute c:\longpth\toolong as a drive I would use

Subst c:\longpath\toolong x:

Use this command to shorten both paths and you will be all set

It's what I do when I've this problem.

It's curious that MS programs like Robocopy can handle long paths.

I'm pretty sure there are long paths that even Robocopy can't handle.

Good question.

I don't know the limit, I have used it for paths with more of 300 characters without problems.

They want to force you into their cloud service

Acrobat DC is still available without a subscription as a standalone product.

Correct, they just change the nomenclature and add Cloud support.
They have unified the mobile and computer App.
