Intel NUC
Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing) is a line of compact, small-form-factor desktop computers and kits produced by Intel. These devices are designed to offer full PC functionality in a minimal footprint, typically using low-power Intel processors and integrated graphics. They are commonly used as home theater PCs, digital signage, office workstations, and lightweight development environments.
Developers should consider Intel NUC for scenarios requiring a small, energy-efficient, and portable computing solution, such as setting up a home lab for testing applications, running lightweight servers, or creating embedded systems. It's particularly useful for IoT prototyping, media center setups, or as a secondary development machine where space and power consumption are constraints.
