ASUS NUC/14 Essential RNUC14MNK1500003 UK Cord L6

Of all the barebone pcs I've owned over the years, the ASUS is easily the best. The built-in processor intel N150 3.6 ghz works flawlessly — it's the first thing I mention when friends ask about it. It arrived quickly, was simple to set up, and at roughly $170 it's outstanding value for money. For anyone asking which barebone pcs to buy, I recommend the ASUS without hesitation.

Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about ordering the ASUS online. But it genuinely exceeded my expectations — the ethernet LAN wi-fi works flawlessly.

The ASUS arrived on time but underdelivered. The 1 SO-DIMM maximum internal memory feels like an afterthought, and I noticed issues within the first few days.

Been using my barebone pcs daily for about a month now. The 1 SO-DIMM maximum internal memory still works like day one. Zero issues so far — highly recommend.

Okay for the price.

Mixed feelings about the ASUS. The built-in processor intel N150 3.6 ghz works as advertised, but setup was more fiddly than it should be.

Feels cheaper than it looks. The ethernet LAN wi-fi is flimsy.

Great value at around $170. Solid build quality too.
