I’ve found recent celeron/pentium and i3 nucs are really great for a balance of low power consumption (<13W) and reasonable performance. Their BIOS allows you to specifically set a power limit and customise other low level things like TAU etc, so you can tune the boost performance to your liking.
It’s a shame Intel discontinued them, the form factor itself was not the only thing setting them apart. The software was well thought out and the hardware just worked 😭
The (6th gen??) ones with programmable ring LEDs are extremely handy for telling system status at a glance, I’ve got three of them 🤫. If i’m not mistaken, a few nuc generations also had onboard GPIOs too?
