So what *was* it designed to compete with?

 
Systems such as VESA-mountable PC's, as well as the Mac Minis.

The NUC was NOT a barebones kit. You must be mistaken about what a NUC was.

Here's a link to a NUC on Amazon (U.S.).

11th Generation i7, 32 GBs of RAM, 1 TB SSD, etc. NOT a barebones kit.
