So for instance the desktop i3-10100 is a 4c/8t, but the i3-10100U is 2c/4T, a massive trick IMHO
You have to step up to the i5-10210U to get 4c/8T like the $100ish i3-10100 desktop.
So the $369 i5 could be a good NAS/Plex, even the i3 for $269. I would recommend putting Linux on it, but they ALL have the U620 in there which can do 5+ hardware transcodes no problem, and perhaps a few 4K ones.
Note: If you are going to turn this into a Plex/NAS, you can use the USB ports for up to 10 Gbps which is more than adequate for a few external spinning platters or even SATA SSD. 8 GB (2x4) should be enough for Plex/NAS, etc duties and if you want to run containers also.
Note: Also this doesn't come with a Windows license like a NUC so be warned there.
I did look at these for a while, but I decided to build my own i3-10100 which is smooth as silk and running a bunch of services above NAS/Plex. But I had a server rack, if I were doing it fresh I would be looking at these REAL hard.

Newer intel iGPU can be used for hardware transcoding. Even a modern Celeron can do 10+ transcodes.
Don't let the small size fool you. My GB-BXi7-4770R is a beast of a daily driver PC. It handles 4K video, multiple monitors, Virtual machines, browsing with dozens of tabs and just about everything you throw at it. Unless you wan't something for gaming or a super quiet PC, NUC's are a great option as a daily driver, especially with an i7.
EDIT: From Amazon Q&A:
Question: Does this have an os installed? how many mb of ram does this unit have?
Answer: It doesn't come with memory, hard drive, and OS. You will have to buy the memory module, the hard drive, and the OS separately and install it yourself.
Question: Does this mini pc contain memory and ssd?
Answer: No, need to purchase separately.
This info needs to be in the description in big bright letters.

NUC's are what's called a barebones's kit PC. Unless bundled by the seller, NUC's never come with, memory, hard drive, OS or accessories.
It does not have 64GB of ram - it has 0gb. You must add your own.m
Makes this less of a deal than I initially thought 🙂 if you don't need this specific form factor, a Ryzen 4500u laptop for around $400-$500 represent a much better value since those come with memory, SSD, OS, and the possibility of portability.
That is on the questions and answers. Granted it is an I7 processor.
