Could wait a bit and build a small and fanless Xeon D (8 cores, 16 threads) server. Don't need a GPU for that, just ssh, for programming. OTOH fanless i7 NUC is going to be tiny (quarter of the size of fanless mini ITX?). I could take it with me when I travel and that might be worthwhile. Shame it's not quad core. And I agree the performance isn't too impressive. But tiny fanless PC that's still faster than my laptop might not be a bad idea.
