I think the NUC here is better, but I don't agree with that assessment of Zotac. I've had two different motherboards from them and loved them, and a lot of their miniPCs are great products. To each his own, I guess.

How is this expensive? This isn't your run of the mill PC with an atom or AMD cpu. This is a full fledged Ivy Bridge (albeit mobile) cpu with HD 4000 iGPU in a proprietry form factor that's about the smallest PC you can with those specs. It's an amazing price point if you ask me.

I'm surprised to hear Zotacs are bad. Maybe I should toss the 3 I have that have performed flawlessly for years?
When shopping at Frys there are some rules:
1. If it's been repackaged don't buy it.
2. All mother boards are repackaged.
