Not so true. Not only trees have a limit in the amount of carbon they can sink, but if you cut a 100years old tree, and replant it, the new trees is not gonna sink as much carbon as the previous tree.
The external PSU is actually good, because it is easy to replace if it dies, as it is generally the weak link in electronics. Just buy a new one with the same output and roughly the same power, and you can continue to enjoy your device.
I wouldn't use this NUC for gaming. I'd use it to drive my main working environment, that is a main 28" 4k display (running at 60Hz) and a side 23" 1080p display. The only app running on this machine would be Chrome, and terminals connecting to my current machines, where the bulk of my actual work would happen. Then I could move the full-ATX tower away from me.
Hackintosh are notoriously hard to install Intel HD graphics, and Yosemite killed support for third-party SSD (at least, the usage of TRIM), but with enough patience, that should be workable. Honestly, that's something I'd try should I get one of these NUC.
Such as ? I checked last month in the perspective of updating my environment, and the competition isn't very broad for my requirements. Everything is centered to being able to drive a 4k@60Hz monitor (requiring DP1.2). Non-x86_64 is pretty much non-existant, and not supported by most proprietary software vendors. AMD offering is non-existant. Even Intel mini-itx ends up all cost included around the $750 of the NUC board ($500 for the board + cpu + psu + case, $100 SSD, $150 memory).
The other options I have is to only upgrade to 1440p and keep my existing hardware...

Numbers from the EPA might leads one to think the contrary, cf http://www.epa.gov/climatechan...
don't be so hasty, hipsters and lumbersexuals need to promote something they understand, ie. not heavy chemistry.
Some research on the subject... https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/ne...

Define "Actual content", for me, 4K is merely a matter of screen real estate, not playing.
Oh, and it *is* a matter of context... Sometimes, women are asking to be hit, and I can assure you they getting wet... dripping wet.
Women are pissing off men about equality. Equality means they can be hit upon hitting a man.
Child are not considered fully grown up and responsible people. Women are. Though, sometime, I wonder.
What's wrong with hitting a women who just hit you ? It's all a matter of context...
let me know about your hackintosh experiment, I'm interested.

Every single wifi chipset is running non-free software, though, most of the time you are hidden that fact. I guess ignorance is bliss...
I'd all likely slaps one of these on my NUC: http://www.akasa.com.tw/update... (and it's still be cheaper and smaller than a mac mini)
btw, did the 2 years-old mobile i7 handle 4k@60Hz, USB3.0, M.2 SSD in a 30W footprint ?
I do. I don't care about graphic performance, but I do care about screen real-estate, so 4k on such a small form-factor is awesome.
Which 2-years old mobile i7 are you talking about ?

The fan is the only downside of this system, though, 30W should be pretty easily dissipated by third-party cases.
You are comparing a 2015 system with a 2005 one... I doubt your system can drive 4k@60Hz, USB3 connectivity or even SATA M2.
FWIW, even Dell's USFF are huge beast...
These dell sff units are *huge* !
Non x86 is pretty much out of the question for any decent desktop.
