NUC only has one ethernet port built-in, although newer models also have
a Thunderbolt port, which should drive a decent speed network.

A strike against the NUC is that Intel basically requires Windows from
some types of firmware updates.  BIOS can be updated from a function
key, but the HDMI port (on the NUC7 anyway) is internall a DisplayPort
interface run through an active DP->HDMI adapter.  Upgrading the
firmware on that adapter can only be done in Windows.  IIRC the
Thunderbolt firmware can also only be upgraded in Windows (and both of
those upgrades have been necessary to get systems working).

Also, I have a NUC7 (1.5 years old) on RMA right now - made a BIOS
setting change to disable SecureBoot and enable legacy-style boot, and
it killed the box... not too impressed with that.
