<div dir="ltr">I was in Fry's about 30 minutes ago. Gigabyte's mini PC seems with lower price that NUC but the CPUs are not the last from the Intel product line. Also there was box "forgot the name" with the Z3735F CPU with 2GB RAM and 16GB eMMC drive and windows 8.1 with Bing for $159 but who knows how the boot works.<div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 9:40 PM, Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com" target="_blank">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Check amazon.

Everything on<br>

indicates to me that Intel Nucs are pure Windows machines. I'm not<br>
saying you can't shoehorn Linux on them, but if you can't, you've<br>
bought a doorstop.<br>

Also, I haven't found anything indicating whether you could disable<br>
secure boot on these machines.<br>
