The article makes it sound they cost over $1,000 (USD?) and were impossible to find but here in Australia I never had any issues finding and unless you were going for the extreme versions, there closer to $5-600AUD which made them a great fit. All we can hope is that there’s a few other brands who are willing to fill the space with equal quality products.
Except they don't fill this niche. Sure, Beelinks and minisforum are neat and cheap, but they tend to have QC problems and don't stack up well against Intel NUCs.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/c/Level1Techs
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I replaced my old, fairly high end pc with a fairly high end Beelink a few months ago, and it's working out fine. The beelink mini is cheaper, better and faster in every way, and will end up as about 5% of the trash my old PC exists as. I'm not sure I'm going back to full-sized desktop pcs, despite being a game artist/game developer who needs somewhat high specs to do my work.
New or used?
That was for new entry level specs, you could obviously spend a lot more on the highest specs but often the NUC fit a segment that didn’t need to be bleeding edge of performance.
