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.). 

https://www.amazon.com/NUC11PAHI7-i7-1165G7-Frequency-Graphics-4-Screen/dp/B0CDWMGZ4R/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1TJDJR3W0L6NQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UG3mvQv9KVr9170KoYSuirSchmSd1ViK77BOwp3KA8nT3hB9HkBsyqbSB6XSYoRjgYG9_YUu1RbvYCKB_Xk5z-U3IigT6ZxdtP88hmbLFxBg-a544ckSQfJvI0oLPyv77bl6tVV7YtRJ57p8nwXfxQJpGhwYcFkbcs_UBcR6CLylsJy8KugC-xUcpCTCFvQVhT5GFBgbw_4aIzl5-34QIKI4cQui9fXtj8nkWI3uuIcmeWBsGdNCsP7VUs2bZP7s9k7HpnqMh_fm6TuPnfSrplwokl-T1QUCZ9BJVEs9I6Q.Ik3N5Q4w-RBqA8sUrSjzVii6GVWGJr_IE2HD9b-x7No&dib_tag=se&keywords=intel%2Bnuc&nav_sdd=aps&qid=1726649289&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2289792011&rnid=676578011&s=pc&sprefix=intel%2Bnuc&sr=1-1&th=1

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