I've had mixed experiences with my NUC. It has what I think is a firmware bug that causes display output to fail if you connect a monitor after boot. Very annoying if it ever drops off the network for some reason.
There seems to be a Windows-only update tool available that might fix it, but that's rather inconvenient when it's used as a server running Linux! No update available as a standalone boot disk or via LVFS. So I haven't gotten it fixed yet because doing so involves getting a second SSD, taking my server offline to install Windows on it, just to run a firmware update.

Both the Mac Mini and the Apple TV use internal power supplies.

Ah yes, of course they do. Doh! Thanks for the correction
You say that like it’s a mystery why people by then but NUCs are fantastic little PCs.
The power adapter is just hidden under the desk whereas the NUC is sat on the desk (or behind the monitor/TV).
It’s the same as with Mac Minis and Apple TV. And other devices of that ilk.
