The "NUC" was actually an Intel developed form factor, smaller than Micro ATX. They had to engineer motherboards, power supplies, and cooling for the extremely small footprint. They were available as barebones kits (without a CPU), so literally the exact opposite of what you suggest.
- simondotau 3y agoAn alternative take is that the NUC is made of laptop parts, with a footprint, thermal capacity and level of bespoke-ness similar to a typical laptop.
