I'm regularly thinking about getting something like this, but there is always something missing. Like why doesn't it have at least one USB-C in the front? And why 13th gen and not 14th gen?

Over the years I had three small PCs, the first one was from Lenovo, ThinkCentre M600 Tiny, for its time, a well packed nice and really tiny barebone pc, bought it for three hundred euros, installed windows 8.1 on it, unfortunately an oudated os today for lots of apps and sofware, but still quite nice and fast, thanks to the ssd inside for web browsing and music and video play. Then got myself a nice Intel NUC Hades Canyon 8i7HVKVA. Unfortunately it was a doozy in a negative sense due to the Radeon RX Vega M GH Graphics soe. Pretty much already outdated when I got it in 2019 for 1.2K.It was initially bought as a pc for the TV, as media station for UHD movies and maybe some gaming, unfortunately due to the poor and slow graphics chip I had quite a few issues getting a reasonable framerate even in older games. Sold it the next year for 900 euros. And this year I bought a Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast NUC12SNKi72 and for 700 euros it was a steal, invested 100 more euros for a 1TB fast nvme m2 ssd and 32 gb SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM. It's lightning fast, starts in under 3 seconds to OS. The graphic card from intel is really revolutionary and thanks to better and better drivers from intel it's fantastic. It's a primary office PC, but can play even the newest PC titles with ease.
