Looks like Acer just took a reference NUC and put a different plastic skin around the enclosure, but I did notice that the USB are all 3.1, whereas the reference NUC are currently 3.0. They don't say whether the HDMI is 1.4 or 2.0, so I assume it's still 1.4, and DDR3L is a bit of a let-down. Also, it's a bit hard to believe the RAM is limited to 8GB and there is no Bluetooth, but maybe that is just an error/omission in the preliminary specs?

It has USB 3.1 Gen 1, so it is actually the same as USB 3.0. OEMs just call it that way as an advertising tactic.

As for the 8 GB RAM limitation, I believe that is just the max the system can come with from Acer. It could be the hard limit of the system, but Acer wasn't clear about it. They also didn't say if it has Bluetooth or not. It probably does, but I can't say for sure.
