Intel NUCs are quite overpriced, and many have the loud fan issue other users have mentioned (and the OP alluded to).

That post says they went with NUC over other options - integrated SFF PCs from other vendors or build-your-own - because it "looked nice" and was available.

It cost him 1,016 USD to get an i7 gen-10 NUC, memory, and an SSD. Quite pricey IMHO.

So I'd say this doesn't make much of a case for NUCs (pun not intended) in particular; just for using SFF PCs.



The power brick is a big downside in my opinion. It’s large and untidy. The Mac mini integrating it makes it very attractive, with a steep price.
