SFF.Network [SFF Network] Intel Introduces a Non-Barebones NUC

Currently the ‘default’ (to the regular consumer) mini-PC on the market, the Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing) has added yet another family member to it’s lineup. Yet this one is different – it isn’t a barebones unit like it’s brethren.

Featuring the Intel Pentium N3700, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and 32GB of storage, and Windows 10 preinstalled, the NUC5PGYH is ready to go, out of the box.

I mean it makes sense in theory, but with 2GB of RAM and just 32GB of storage (about 10 of which will be taken up by Windows), who is this aimed at? I'd not make a machine for just browsing the web and watching youtube with less than 4GB

It'll be an excellent, Kiosk PC, Thin Client or managed office PC. Not really for the home user since they don't understand what the small amount of storage means to everyday use, until they run out of it.

Yeah good point, if there's no actual data to be stored on the device anyway, it might make a lot of sense.

Would make a good HTPC too

Yes indeed, I forgot to mention that. With the full-size HDMI (other Broadwells have mini-HDMI) and plenty of power, it's an excellent base for OpenELEC.
