One more time for the slow people in the audience: the NUC was not 
designed to compete with the Pi. Intel's marketing was haphazard and the 
units arguably were overpriced. It remains to be seen how well Asus will 
do since they bought the NUC brand last year.

The recommendation is 'tell them. then tell them what you told them' so

The NUC and other mini-PCs using standard MPUs are aimed at an entirely 
different niche than the Pi.

I know you always have to have the last word but I ain't bitin' yo stinky 
bait no mo'.
