SFF Dream is 'laptopification' of desktop computing. Overpriced screenless closed system laptops. No more incremental upgrades, instead inadequate cooling, power throttling, dongles and converters galore, vendor/ecosystem lockin. $2800 for last generation CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 2070.

Reminds me of https://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html

This NUC has upgradable RAM, Disk, GPU, and CPU backplane.

It's a 8core 2.6GHz 45W CPU, not last generation, with lots of ports.

If you don't want a small cool powerful machine, it's not for you
