For the NUC I would prefer to buy from fry's or a retailer where you can switch out the unit when you are confused. I had the NUC with Network dropouts and nothing seemed to fix it except replacing the unit. After few months I upgraded my NUC to the new i5 with IR. This time the IR was choppy. It would work but not fluidly. Key strokes would get stuck etc. I tried different driver combinations but that didn't fix the problem as well. I got a new one in Fry's and returned the defective one to NewEgg. It gets me to believe the QA process on the NUC's is choppy. You may very well land up with a unit that is a little questionable. Lots of others had the network issue with the earlier i3 version of the nuc when hard wired and when the nearest HDMI is in use.
