Something is off, while I appreciate the full rundown of testing every aspect of this new NUC, the price factor goes unaddressed and is a major downside: there's no way a N150-powered mini PC will/should sell in the $650-750 range regardless of the brand that makes it.
I would take a Beelink EQ14 or any other "cheap" mini PC with the same chip over this at a fraction of the price any day.
