I always saw the NUCs as proof of concept for small form factor PCs and to that end I think they have succeeded. There are a ton of different form factors now.

Didn’t Intel used to be pretty up front that the NUC was a way to push computer manufacturers to be more innovative? Sort of like a widely available reference computer.

By making them without RAM and SSD they were never going to be that profitable. It was nice being able to buy boxes without wasted parts you knew you didn’t want.

The probably is that the amd apu is just better and more balanced now. You get lower tdp + better graphic cards. So ppl would just buy the amd counter part
