NUCs are for office peeps who email and zoom all day who probably would be better off with a laptop on a laptop tray with the second monitor and separate keyboard. You will look better on zooom that way as well.

My home machine has 96G and dual Xeon quad cores. I don't have a graphics card because it's mostly just building code. I still have a little desktop for email and such because I don't want to compete for resources against the compiler.

Dude, if you are not working on a 1000+ core cluster with at least a couple of TB of RAM and a boatload of GPUs, you are clearly just an office peep who would be better off with a NUC for using Excel and MS paint
