Why do YOU need it? No clue. But I can see people without technical know-how using these as a little home theater PC. Or really anyone wanting a smaller form factor. I’ve had friends and relatives get nucs because they want something really small form factor and don’t care about the upgradability cause they’d just buy a newer model 4-5 years down the line.

Sure, I bought a NUC with a little integrated AMD GPU, which is more than enough for HTPC transcode duties.

It cost less than half this thing.

So they want to pay double the price for something with half the utility?

The customer is always right in matters of taste.

I’ve had a couple relatives/friends recognize upgradability was a higher priority a couple years later, but others are still using them or since changed to something less powerful. I think I still have a relative running one of the weird Intel nucs with AMD graphics.

That’s true. I’ve lost count of how many morons tell me “oh my 2 year old MacBook broke and Apple refused to repair it so I bought a new one!”
