Build Quality
Customers have mixed opinions on the build quality of the Intel NUC 9 NUC9i7QNX Mini Desktop, with some praising its premium feel and solid construction while others express concerns over coil whine noise and the length of the power cord. The majority of reviewers appreciate the high-quality components included in the product, such as the i7 processor, 32GB RAM, and 1TB PCIe SSD.
Highlights
Quality
Plenty of power to convert audio and video multiple streams with no struggle.
Pretty much any nvme will give great read/write speeds.
One of the wifi plugs was disconnected and a fan was disconnected and loose.
So what you are buying in this product is the missing components, ram, a harddrive and a windows license key.
Price
At $750 for windows 11 pro, 64gb and 1tb ssd, its almost too good to be true.
If i were to buy these two components myself it would cost me about $100.
It's a cheap fix though these cables only run about $10.
But for the price (i paid $909 before tax) it was hard to find a better deal.
Shipping
Arrived quickly, and came with a 3 or 4 port usb hub.
I returned the nuc yesterday and was told that when they receive it they will approve the refund.
Meanwhile, i ordered another which will be here in two days.
Packaging/appearance
I think the high quality packaging saved them.
Unfortunately, the specific box i had developed power problems and i had to return.
Competitiveness
The xeon cpu benchmarks slightly higher (about 5%) but they are otherwise very comparable.

The only issue i have with it is the coil whine noise and i’ve tried everything to work around that so i have a super heavy duty power cord and a surge protector with emirfi filter but still audible and annoying to me
