NUC11PAHi7 vanished?

[Kruis]

Hi,

what happened to (my)  NUC11PAHi7?

It was removed from products list... and no more drivers update was released since January...

[AlHill]

Probably just the servers being updated.  I would not worry.

AlHill,

thanks for your reply. 

I had seen that datasheet, but my concern is that it has been replaced with NUC11TNHi7.

I hope you're right!

The Panther Canyon (PA) NUC is the 11th gen entry in the Performance Segment. It can be considered a replacement for the Bean Canyon (BE) NUC, which is the 8th gen entry in the Performance Segment.

The Tiger Canyon (TN) NUC is the 11th gen entry in the Professional Segment. It can be considered a replacement for the Dawson Canyon (DN) NUC, which is the 7th/8th gen entry in the Professional segment.

My understanding is that quantities of the PA NUC are limited due to the global semiconductor shortage and that the decision was made to release this limited quantity in the APAC market only. Once the shortages are alleviated, you should see PA NUCs elsewhere. In the meantime, this does mean that, in other parts of the world, TN NUCs could be available where PA NUCs are not. This does not mean that the TN NUC is a replacement for the PA NUC, however.

So I must consider myself lucky to have bought it in Italy, but on a large international e-commerce, before it vanished

Seriously, I hope Intel keep to release at least driver updates.

Otherwise I believe I will be able to use almost all the drivers of the NUC11TNHi7, which is almost identical in many hardware components.

Thank you for your reply!

Oh, no, full driver support will be provided. The units being sold have to be supported regardless of whether they are sold world-wide or just in APAC.

My understanding is that no units were ever sold into the distribution channels that would serve Italy. Are you sure that you didn't receive one of the pre-production units that was provided to larger channel customers for evaluation? These are not supposed to be sold. If you send me a snapshot of the label on the bottom of the unit, I can verify one way or the other. Don't upload this snapshot here; send it to me via the Community's Personal Message service instead (you don't need everyone seeing your Serial Numbers, MAC Addresses, etc.).

We've talked exhaustively (daily ever since). Everything is good; the unit is a production unit and he has no complaints currently.
