> You haven’t bought one.

Yet.

> Hence you are not a customer.

Except I do buy laptops. So I am a potential customer. I also buy NUCs. Which also makes me a potential customer.

> Nor part of a logically viable market segment.

Incorrect. See answer above.

> Even if catering to single purchase buyers made sense.

You're now making assumptions about my background. I've made corporate purchasing decisions before and there's every chance I might take up that role again in the near future. There have been a few businesses buy into NUCs on a broader scale and I know for a fact that one of those businesses did so after my recommendation. So Intel have already made a pretty penny from me and I'm sure I'm not an isolated case either.

> Which it doesn’t for Nuc’s because they are not consumer products.

It's NUC (all case because it is an acronym of "Next Unit of Computing" -- I know it's dumb name but I didn't come up with it) and yes they are consumer products. More so than Raspberry Pis.

Just because you weren't aware of it doesn't mean it's not a consumer product. As it happens the NUC I own was bought from a consumer store.

> Not sure any of that insight will stick. But always hopeful.

There is absolutely no need for you to be rude all the time. Particularly when you're the one pulling strawman / misunderstanding peoples comments (hard to tell if you're intentionally missing the point or just not bothering to read other peoples comments properly).

Also given you've not heard of the NUC before now and didn't even know what it was before stubbornly taking your stance, you're not really in a strong position to be lecturing other people about what the NUC is or is not.
