[@robertopontone]

My concern is the relatability of ASUS, the INTEL NUC was super reliable, while Asus does not have the same record at all. I hope to be mistaken.

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

These have been good so far. We ran the N50 24x7 for four weeks now at 27C ambient just to see if it would hold up as a fanless PC.

[@ll1l11ll]

Given the various videos of people having terrible times with ASUS support, getting bad items from RMA multiple times... I'll pass on buying any more ASUS gear in the future.

[@marktackman2886]

In my experience NUCs had horrible reliability. Intel sold the business because they were overheating.

[@roymorrison1075]

I have had nothing but issues with the intel, nothing but issue free with ASUS nuc. but again small sample.

[@fuzz11111111]

NUCs were unreliable, but at least you could trust Intel's warranty. Asus you may as well have found it sitting on the side of the road for all the warranty is worth

[@corykunze4330]

[@JustAnOldPyro]

One of the best things I can tell you from a dad to a dad, buy a bunch of books for your baby, sure you won't be able to read through them with your child but they'll corollate books with cuddle time and as time goes on you'll have a little one on your lap cuddled up as you read books to them. :) Let their imagination soar without limits!

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

That is what mom got us for father’s day

[@TweakMDS]

Congrats! Huge life changing moment, and don't worry, you can get some sleep back in just a few short years :D

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

I hope so!

[@Propganda]

Congrats dude

[@allenellisdewitt]

I'd love to see them do a fanless n100 release: Perfect workshop/garage PC.

[@Valthonis]

Asus does have a N100 fanless. ASUS ExpertCenter PN42 Little pricey compared to other small N100 units, especially as no storage or ram is included, but it has Wifi 6E which was really nice for my setup. I'm running mine with a 32GB DDR4 stick.

[@mcebelt]

One thing I woould be interested in trying is using the Nuc with the GPU to have a cloud game streaming server. That way I could have a relatively quiet computer sititng in my network stack that I can stream games to using parsec or steam link to a handheld device like the retroid pocket or logitech cloud handheld etc. Or even stream it to a low power ultrabook so I can play some more intense games on a lower power computer.

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

I used Steamlink in the office on it and it worked great.

[@bastian775]

14:22 46-48 Watts of noise? :P (small mistake in text). My problem with Asus is by default not really communicating what they fix or update in a new bios, if they even fix anything at all. However a lot of things could be arranged for business laptops.

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

Good catch. I need more sleep!

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

Amazing point!

[@greghellings]

Happy Father's Day, and the best advice I can give is, "GET SOME SLEEP!" Sleep when the baby sleeps!

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

Thanks! I have been trying, but it is not much

[@patrickkaiser8793]

You've got a few months before it will apply, but Taking Cara Babies sleep training method is amazing. 2 kids, both sleeping through the night by 2.5 months old. Highly recommend.

[@codeman99-dev]

I definitely agree on the ROG needing Windows 11 Pro. For me it would better support game development.

[@Veptis]

I have been told that the New Lunar Lake Dev Kits, will be NUCs made by Asus. So it's great to see them having a very likely chassis for that. 48W of Noise... Is quite a lot :P

[@christianlohmann8577]

SFP+ ? Why not use that as standard ?

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

There is way more Cat5/5e/6 in walls than fiber.

[@christianlohmann8577]

@@ServeTheHomeVideo that’s why SFP+ is a nice start. Can still use a DAC or copper converter. But time to open up. Specially in those expensive NUC with GPU. I love that MS-01 for connectivity. That’s one getting a compute GPU would be my dream box

[@kcorn6630]

How much are these machines?

[@johnrucker1912]

I'd be interested in knowing if the 2.5 inch slots could use a u.2 drive with an adapter from the m.2 . Mostly spacing stuff

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

You would need M.2 for PCIe and power from elsewhere. Also, the power is much higher on U.2 NVMe SSDs.

[@ericc6485]

Is there still HDMI CEC support with the Asus nucs?

[@harshbsv]

baby tip - they have different kinds of cries, so you really should pay attention to differentiate between them

[@Mister-Wabbit]

What is a NUC?

[@eminakyuz2285]

Can this asus nuc pc be used as a separate computer for sim racing rig setup?

[@denvera1g1]

Dang, that N50 based unit is almost my dream firewall. I have an N100 unit with a fan that struggles a bit with my home internet it has a single internal M.2 and a bootable micro SD. if that N50 unit came with the larger heatsink and say, an N200 or N300 it would be all i would need up to 3 bootable deivces internally s a great plus because i might be able to get away with a 120GB optane drive for web caching. Also, thank you Intel for starting to rename Alderlake-N to Atom, i was REALLY upset with the atom based i3-N305. Its performance is great, the name is very misleading, when looking at everything but the CPU cores and GPU, it has worse features/specs than first gen core i3(ignoring the version differences), fewer channels of RAM, fewer PCIe lanes.

[@andre-le-bone-aparte]

@02:15 - Log Off. Go Home, We can wait. Spend that first two weeks helping, healing, and holding your wife and baby! - That first Two week (and two months) will seem slow (due to lack of sleep) but really goes fast and you will be on year two before you know it.

Tip: Start babyrick young on CS. Turn him into a pro and let him win a few majors. Then collect $$$ from valve!

[@igorshubovych]

I wish NUC Pro and ROG had 2 Ethernet ports

[@RaduRadonys]

Just buy a USB3 to 2.5G ethernet adapter, I think the speeds will be the same as if the ethernet was included. And it's really cheap, like $20.

[@RedRider1600]

What does NUC mean?

[@RaduRadonys]

Instead of typing that question here you could have typed exactly the same question on google and you'd get your answer: "Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a line of small-form-factor computers and barebone computer kits designed by Intel."

[@BobHannent]

Congratulations on being a father, the best advice my father gave me, and one I share with new parents: * Don't try and be silent around your baby. It's tempting because you don't want to wake them, but you want to get them used to being around noise while they sleep so you can get stuff done. He advised doing vacuuming around my son, perhaps you can start a 1U server while your child is sleeping? :-) Aside from that? Less is more. You don't need all the things you think you need. Essential purchases? Get puppy toilet training pads, they make great disposable nappy changing mats (especially good when changing on the go or when changing an ass explosion). We also bought a bulk 12 pack of 70cm 'muslin squares', there are a thousand things you'll find uses for. They can provide a shade that can be clipped up anywhere, they can mop up body fluids, etc. My wife now uses them as a cloth when she works out!

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

Awesome idea on the changing pads. We have a dog as well so we have those on-hand.

[@markw365]

But then they wake up when you turn the server off. :)

[@balfit]

@@markw365 why _would_ you turn a server off...? ;-)

#Facts - baby is LEARNING to sleep, and will learn what is normal "sound" volume for your home

[@RyanDeLaHaye]

Making noise while the little one is sleeping is critical. We had a busy city soundscape (with honking horns, clanks, etc at random intervals) playing in the hospital. We kept that up and now the kiddo doesn't mind noises when sleeping.

[@jolness1]

First, congrats again on the baby! Hope mom and him are healthy and doing well. Baby advice: treasure every moment, even the ones that aren’t so great. Everyone told me how fast they grow up but I didn’t internalize it in the same way as I have since. Even when our 3 month old spits up or there is a gnarly diaper change at 3am… I try to remember he’ll only be little like this once. It’s amazing to watch them grow up but also… it’s tough. NUC: these are awesome… I do sure some misgivings about Asus support , which is a shame because they do some very solid engineering work in general (not without their mistakes of course). I’m hoping we see them really work on providing great CS as it will push everyone to do better because asus is a market leader in several segments. Great video as always! Congrats again Patrick!

[@ewenchan1239]

If stuff grosses you out, a baby will numb that REAL fast. Be prepared to do a LOT of laundry, CONSTANTLY. Spit up. Pee. Poop. It's all a part of the process. I used to put a burb cloth over my shoulder because it is a lot easier to change a burp cloth than it was to change my shirt. When you take the diaper off, since you have a son, do so VERY slowly. There's a theory that the cooler air will cause him to urinate without any control, so it will just happen. Expect/anticipate being peed on. It happens. No big deal. Explosive poops can happen. Don't worry about it too much. The first poops will be like an almost black, tar-like looking substance. That's normal. It will go away. But it means that it is sometimes, quite challenging to wipe off their tiny butt initially, especially if it goes up the back, and you're trying not to hurt them too much when you are holding their legs up and trying to lift their bottom by their legs, so that you can wipe/clean the back. They like snuggies with their parents. Some babies will sleep train faster and on a more consistent schedule sooner; whilst others may not. Our pediatrician for our first child told us not to "coddle" them too much when we are trying to get them to sleep otherwise that's the ONLY way that they'll be able to sleep. Early on, we used to have visitors wash their hands, when they enter our house, regardless of whether they're going to be holding the baby or not. And last but not least, it is perfectly okay to ask for help from friends, family, etc. You DON'T have to be super parents. Baby just need to be fed, changed, and loved. Early on, other than sleep deprivation; thankfully, they're not too demanding (most of the time).

[@ServeTheHomeVideo]

Great advice. I am grossed out by stuff, but no problem with it apparently if it is my baby. Sleep training I cannot wait for

[@deano1699]

NUCs don't need Windows 11 Pro. They need linux. ;) As for parenting advice: you can save a ton on baby toys with a regulation football - they won't be able to chew it apart, and it can roll/bounce a million different ways to keep the kid entertained and confused much longer than any spherical ball, once their old enough to start moving around/interacting with the world. If you're super concerned about the firmer "pigskin" style, Nerf footballs also work, at least until teething era. Apart from that, don't spend money on new anything until they're talking. You'll save a ton of money, reduce landfill waste, and no one will remember or care. Also, when asking others for gifts/help/etc, focus on stuff that would make you as PARENTS feel relief. Again, the kid won't remember the extra trip through the park or fancy stroller, but every meal you don't need to make yourself, or room that someone else cleans while you're taking a nap is going to give you back energy to try to keep from drowning at work, and to actually do all the fun bits of parenting.

Great Video, and what an awesome father's day present if a little early! Parenting advice: Get that baby on a good sleep schedule as soon as possible. Obviously it's not going to happen right away. Months and months down the road, but if you do, you will have a much happier life. We didn't do this with the first, the second was into a good sleep schedule in less than 6 months, and it saved us so many late nights compared to the first one.
