Most likely that load is caused by the visualizations.

There was a Windows Media Center keyboard at one point - but think that was discontinued many years ago. However the Baytrail NUC has integrated Bluetooth doesn't it? Why not try a Bluetooth keyboard instead - much more variety to chose from.
The CIR receiver in the NUC is really aimed at remote controls - particularly RC6 Windows Media Center models (or learning/universal remotes that can pretend to be them)
Thanks, but I usually only buy items after looking at reviews, and regarding people using NUC keyboard remote; reviews are conspicuous by their absent.
I already have a self built media center computer with the excellent K400 board, so I have ordered another USB dongle and use that, for the time being.

FullHD videos will play fine, but with slight annoying stutter. Like the screen is not in sync. I've tried different browsers and also changing the frequency on my Samsung, but with no luck. Hardware acc is also enabled in flash settings.I have just built the NUC 2820 and upgraded it from 7 to 8.1 with a cheap upgrade 8 pro disc. Having put all the mods like start button etc. I am now testing it with no major issues at the moment. I am now looking for a suitable value for money wireless keyboard to work with the Front panel consumer IR sensor. Has anyone have any recommendations, buying form the UK ?
Using the latest intel drivers for bios, gpu and chipset and I've maxed the setting for video memory in the bios. Also win is set to max perf.
XBMC is running like a charm and streaming 1080p (x264) results in zero lag or stutter.
Thinking of updating to win 8, maybe that will help. (I'm unfortunately forced to run win cause of some applications.)
Anyone else?
I just picked up a Logitech K800 wireless keyboard with touchpad at Sam's club for $19.88 in the US, I use these on all my XBMC boxes. I am not sure on the price in the UK, but if it is as bad as the rest of the stuff, it could be shipped.

Hello everyone, I'm considering buying a NUC, and i'm hesitating between the 2820 and the i3 version. I would like to install XBMC on it of course, and Hyperspin as well (in the future). I'm a bit afraid to buy the 2820 only because i don't know if it can handle some "heavy" blu-ray iso (25go or 50go) without lag or stuttering...
Can someone confirm the celeron is handling really well this kind of files?
Thanks for your feedback!

I just got the 2820 last week. I cannot get blu ray isos to play properly though on XBMCbuntu. There is flickering and jaggies. However, I am not sure whether that is the fault of the NUC or XBMC itself.
As far as i am aware, XBMC does not play blu ray files of isos? I thought a licence was needed? This is why I also have a Dune HD Smart player too.

Post a demo link and I'll try it.

i got several blu-ray remuxes (main movie, HD audio, without those extra's and menu's)
and XBMC can play them without any issues (if the settings are setup correct).
blu-ray folder structure or blu-ray iso's
the celeron should be strong and fast enough.

I have had this NUC for a couple of weeks now. I'm running 13.2 on XBMCbunt from a USB3 stick, with 3gb RAM.
However, when playing music, I get a lot of stuttering if anything is happening in the background like browsing menus, or if the library is updating. I'm surprised and disappointed at this.
Does anyone else experience this, or have any solutions?
