Just ordered one. Going to compare it to my Mac Mini 2014 mid tier. Might use my Mini for a HTPC or sell it.

The Mini should be a 12x6x14 inch plastic box with a DVD burner? I'll pass on that.

These NUCs are a perfect Mac mini killer. And there's a nice range of price-performance. Mac minis should have both cheaper and more powerful versions than they offer.

Well I mean the specs. They can put it in a tiny shiny box if you'd like without a DVD burner. The Mini is running a 4th Gen Processor with a 5400 RPM HD. They should be embarrassed they're still selling it.
