I wonder what impact they really have. I have always bought NUC though traditional IT market channels and we us them in the SMB market pretty heavily

I can not see any of these VAR's carrying minisforum or other generic aliexpress systems. So from an SMB stand point my options are NUC, Lenovo Tiny/Micro, and the simliar offerings from Dell and HP.

Maybe some Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, etc.. Higher end consumer brands.

So I guess it comes down to how many NUC's are being sold in business channels vs the budget consumer channels
