I had a heck of a time getting the OS set up! At one point I decided to try windows. This required creating an install USB stick. I tried a Windows 7 DVD, but the installer doesn't recognise USB3 ports! I created the install disk using 8.1 from the Microsoft site, which took around an hour to download and create, but this seemed to work OK. I didn't actually get to install Windows as my product key was out of date- long story.
I also had prepared a post-install disk of Windows drivers which you can find through the Intel NUC site. This has things like the ethernet and wireless drivers to get you onto the internet.
I managed to install Mac OS in the end. I followed the instructions on [...].
I'm not techie but confident with Mac and found my way through these instructions successfully. My first go at installing failed because my copy of Mac OS installer was corrupted somehow. I thought the error was to do with an HDMI driver problem noted on the Tonymacx site, but I gave it a go with a fresh download and it worked fine.
The Hackintosh is great for my needs but there are some limitations that may affect some users. The good stuff is - cheaper than a comparable Mac (about 50%) and customisable. I don't think there are any Macs now you can have 2 internal drives. You can add as much RAM as you like when you like (most new Macs you can't do this). It is FAST! Starts up and ready to do stuff in 50 seconds. Apps are very responsive. SSD to SATA is very fast.
The downsides;
Wireless doesn't work yet - I use on ethernet connection anyway so not a problem. But, no airdrop for example.
Bluetooth doesn't work - so, I can't use my Mac bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I was used to using swipe actions on the trackpad
No CD/DVD- but this is common on new Macs too, and I bought a cheap old external for $30
Installation of Hackintosh takes some courage!
So far I can't get Photoshop to work - keeps crashing
UPDATE 2018: I gave up on the Hackintosh - was just too flaky. I've installed Windows 10 and it works very well. My only gripe is I can't get my wireless mouse and keyboard to connect and I have to use a wireless dongle to use them. This means I have to give up a USB port to the dongle. Otherwise this continues to be a great PC, fast enough for general home use.
The first two things I do when I receive this unit are an immediate upgrade of stock bios to the newest 044 and then clean install of 64bit windows 8 pro. Some thoughts as listed as follows after 36-hrs use.
1.Theoretically this nuc6i5syh is way better than my nuc5i5ryh in performance. But in fact, you won't notice the difference between them most of time in normal use. They both work great.
2.Fan noise is barely noticeable at default speed when working or idling unless you are running stress test on it.
3.Can play almost all media files including 2160p@30fps I throw at it with no hiccup. But don't expect too much more than that especially when dealing with 2160p @60p files encoded using HEVC L5.1 with MPC-HC player via HDMI, it stutters at first and eventually causes 100% CPU usage.
4.the main downside about this unit is, it has trouble reading my 128GB kingston SDXC card formatted in NTFS. Every time when popping in the card into the card slot, my x64 windows 8.1 pro starts freezing. The mouse becomes very sluggish or even unresponsive. At the same time, system has a ridiculously 60% cpu usage from 5% for no reason. and then resumes back to normal after 3-5 minutes but end up failing to access all the files on the sd card.
I do a google search and find other guys have the same problem on either 64bit windows 7 or Ubuntu. I haven't tried windows 10 yet. No ideas why. But I highly doubt the issue is OS independent and is just related to the drivers or hardware.
5.Thanks for intel continuous efforts, I haven't yet encountered WHEA error so far, looks like the newest bios has fixed the flaw which used to bother a lot of ppl in the past few months. But still need more time to prove its stability and durability.
Overall, I'm quite happy with this purchase. The little device does a great job and meets all my expectations. I think that it should have deserved 5 stars if the card reader works properly. Hopefully Intel rolls out new driver or firmware to fix this problem ASAP.

Ho optato per questo prodotto INTEL basato sulla potente CPU INTEL I5 che ha potenza adeguata anche per utilizzi più pesanti (in particolare sto convertendo tutto il mio archivio di filmati in files basati su codec H265 HEVC e lo utilizzo anche come "server" per macchine virtuali Hyper-V che poi richiamo dagli altri PC che ho a casa). L'ho completato (il prodotto viene fornito senza disco, RAM e sistema operativo) con 32GB di RAM, SSD da 256GB su slot M2 e, visto lo spazio libero rimasto (questo gioiellino anche internamente è progettato veramente bene!) gli ho messo anche un vecchio SSD da 128GB SATA da 2,5" che già avevo.
Sono almeno 5 mesi che sta funzionando 24h senza interruzioni con 2 macchine virtuali sempre attive e praticamente sempre in conversione di filmati in H265. MENTRE eseguo queste operazioni ogni tanto utilizzo KODI sul TV per riprodurre filmati 4K via HDMI.
Il PC un pò scalda (ma meno di quello che mi sarei aspettato) ma rimane sempre silenziosissimo.
L'altro giorno l'ho un attimo aperto e ispezionato per togliere un pò di polvere ma non ce ne è stato bisogno!
GRAN BEL PRODOTTO!
NOTA STRANA: quando l'ho acquistato ho provato a montare un sistema operativo Windows SERVER 2012 e... NON ESISTEVANO DRIVER INTEL COMPATIBILI PER IL CHIPSET!!
Questa cosa da INTEL non me la aspettavo e la segno come aspetto negativo.
Per il resto si sta dimostrando, rispetto alle sue dimensioni, un prodotto AFFIDABILE e POTENTE.
Firmware was updated on the model received, but I made sure to flash the latest through USB to avoid any reported problems. BIOS interface is decent to work with and enable/disable components prior to booting the OS.
Pricewise, you could find a used laptop for half the cost of a new system setup, but having current hardware running at such a low power consumption is where this system shines. Depending on local rates, cost recovery could be experienced as soon as 4 years vs. using an older desktop tower drawing 100W at idle.
Based on system specs, you could certainly use this as your day-to-day desktop system running an OS of your choice, and even manage some 3D games that came out a few years ago, but the real advantages the NUC provides is a low volume desktop computer that operates modern systems at low power. As a headless server running Linux, this box shines, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to save electricity yet run multiple media services without a hitch.
J'ai ajouté le max de mémoire, avec in gros SSD M2 et un gros SSD Sata.
Ça va aussi vite que mon serveur, vraiment surprenant.
Si tienes un pendrive instalador de Windows 10 y todos los drivers bajados de Intel, se monta en menos de media hora. Se abre el NUC, se montan la memoria y el disco (realmente sencillo), se cierra el NUC, se conecta al monitor, el teclado y el ratón, se conecta la alimentación, se arranca desde el pendrive (me ha encantado la UEFI de Intel) y se instala del tirón.
Muy pequeño (pero que muy pequeño). Completamente silencioso. Potente.
Se puede utilizar como HTPC (conectado a la televisión para ocio y cine en casa), pero para mí es una barbaridad montar un i5 para eso (para ese fin me decantaría por un i3 o incluso por un Celeron o un Pentium N3700).
Para mi este es un ordenador de sobremesa para ofimática y ocio (excepto para juegos que requieran mucha potencia en la tarjeta gráfica), que te debe durar muchísimos años.
