What Is a Home Theater PC?
A home theater PC (HTPC) is a computer connected to your stereo, TV, and smart home devices. With an HTPC, you can bring all of your digital life—photos, music, movies, streaming services, smart doorbells, and home assistants—together in a single experience.
Why Choose Intel® NUC for Your Home Theater?
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, Intel® NUC Mini PCs put powerful computing just about anywhere. Measuring just four inches tall by four inches wide, the Intel® NUC Mini PC is compact enough to mount behind a TV or tuck into your home entertainment center.
For comparison, an Intel® NUC Mini media PC is a just little bigger than the smallest home streaming devices and a lot smaller than a smart speaker. Unlike them, an Intel® NUC is a full-power PC.
Brilliant 4K Video and 7.1 Surround Sound
Intel® NUC Mini PCs come ready for ultrahigh definition (UHD) video and high-resolution digital audio right out of the box. Whether you’re streaming movies from the internet or a local drive, the Intel® NUC can power a brilliant, immersive home theater experience.
Countless Connectivity
Available with a choice of hard drive configurations to meet your speed and storage needs, the Intel® NUC Mini PC has the ability to connect a wide range of devices and keep your entertainment and data moving at fast speeds. And with multiple display support, you can multitask across multiple screens.
Intel® NUC: Smaller Than a Smart Speaker, Performs Like a Desktop
You don’t need a shelf full of devices! Intel® NUC gives your home theater the power and versatility of a full-size PC in less space than a smart speaker. Enjoy popular streaming services and catch network shows over the web. Plus, anything you can do with a typical PC, an Intel® NUC can do on your TV.
Make Family Time Gaming Time
The Intel® NUC Mini PC may be small, but it has full PC power so you can play your favorite desktop games. Download the latest titles, play arcade classics, or explore a learning game together on the big screen.
Interact with Digital Assistants
The Intel® NUC is able to communicate with your choice of digital assistant. Look up an actor, find a movie, or play your favorite song—all without lifting a finger.
Browse and Stream with Ease
The Intel® NUC may be a PC, but it doesn't have to feel like one on-screen. You can use a media server app to transform your browsing and viewing into a typical media player experience.
Mouse and Keyboard Optional
The Intel® NUC supports infrared remotes. Choose the remote control with the features you want and click away. Of course, you can use a keyboard and mouse anytime you want. Just plug them in or connect wirelessly via Bluetooth.
