Ready-to-run desktop for office and study

The Intel NUC6i5SYH arrives as a barebone mini PC pre-configured with 32 GB DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD. A dual-core i5-6260U processor running at 1.8 GHz up to 2.9 GHz handles everyday business applications and 4K video playback through Intel Iris Graphics 540. Windows 10 Pro is already installed, so the system is usable straight from the box.

Simple setup with memory already maxed

Only a monitor, keyboard and mouse are required to start working; the 65 W power adapter and all cables are included. Both SODIMM slots are occupied to reach the 32 GB DDR4 limit, so no further memory upgrades are possible. The 3-in-1 card reader accepts SD, SDHC and SDXC media, while Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 provide wireless connectivity without extra hardware.

Fixed memory ceiling and single Gigabit link

The platform supports a maximum of 32 GB DDR4 across two slots, which this unit already reaches, preventing any future expansion. Wired networking is limited to 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, and wireless uses the 802.11ac standard with Bluetooth 4.2. Video output relies on Mini DisplayPort and HDMI, so displays without those inputs will need an adapter.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Intel Iris Graphics 540 is driving both the MiniDP and HDMI ports at the same time?

Open Windows Display Settings after connecting monitors to both video outputs; each screen should appear as a separate display and the adapter will be listed as Intel Iris Graphics 540.

What comes in the box and what must I add to have a working system?

The unit includes the NUC chassis, a 65 Watt power adapter and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed on the 512GB SSD with 32GB DDR4 already fitted; only a monitor, keyboard and mouse are needed separately.

The listing shows 32GB DDR4 at 2400 speed — is that the maximum this model supports?

Yes, the board has two SODIMM slots and the specifications list 32GB as the maximum supported memory, so the installed 32GB DDR4-2400 configuration already reaches that limit.
