No prices yet but you can get a laptop with those specs for like $1400 so it would have to be around the $800 range to justify buying this instead

why would anyone buy a boring, bulky desktop PC these days?

Oh I don’t know maybe because these things are immobile laptops?

Do they still offer the bare motherboard/cpu NUC kits?

backed by Intel Arc graphics.

What is that supposed to mean? Is that a discrete GPU or an integrated one?
