Sure but I always assumed they were mainly designed for use as office PCs, competing with the typical ones from Acer and Lenovo (eg. Thinkcentre) which these days have become about about as small as the NUC, but gradually over the years. Raspberry Pi's aren't really a likely choice for replacing PCs in an office (as possible and cheap as that may be with a technical approach), nor are some of NUC clones from unknown companies. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
