Now imagine super-sizing this NUC into BUC (big unit of computing) and let’s call it the 2017 Mac Pro. It makes the Mac Mini look like the cheap shitty overpriced plastic toy it is. The latest Intel NUC offerings have everything I’d want for a mini server or a terrific ultra-compact home computer. Alas, I don’t want to run Windows or Linux. I’d love to have one of the Intel Core NUCs as an option for a compact little server. When I find myself getting excited about a non-Apple computer, it is proof of just how sucky the range of Apple product offerings has gotten. And memory that is not soldered on? Egads!

For starters, it needs those cooling vents removed to look cool so it can overheat, along with screws that take a tool no one has, to screw you know who. It needs at least 80% of its features ripped out, so that Jony Ive can design something useless to make it look cool in a product shot.
