Why buy this for $880 when you get better laptops for same price or less?

Well not many laptops have a nearly 24 inch screen.

You can easily connect a laptop to practically any 24" screen, heck connect to a 65" 4K TV screen.

What's the point in having a 1mm thick screen if the base is so massive?

AIOs are get the worst of both worlds. You are constrained by the form factor like laptop, can't really upgrade, expand, game etc., and you get the constraints of a desktop, heavy, big, no battery, and not portable. What possesses people to think AIO is a good idea to start with? A NUC at least makes sense with being so small and cheap, so the user is free to use it in any application they like, but tying a NUC down with a screen to make an AIO, all the goodness of the NUC is destroyed.
