Yeah can't say i was impressed with the Intel i had heating problems and random freezing. I ended up returning it to the store. As peter said the 19V was also an issue.

I ended up getting this one instead (which is the one that was at astrofest)

It is great, so far the only issue i have had is a timeout of the losmandy when i use my Mount Hub pro (if i use a powered USB hub instead i don't get this issue). Also most importantly it is 12V and Fanless so i can attach it to the mount without introducing vibrations.

One final thing i like about the Gigabyte is it has built in Buletooth and wireless which just work. So if i wanted to I could go wireless to the mount (yay cable management).

This runs Sequance generator pro, PHD 2.3, Gemini Ascom and Cart De Sel without any problems.

Oh did i mention it is cheaper than the Intel NUC
