Specific target markets. No need for upgradeability. Same market as mac-mini, and not a bad idea overall.

If you're just looking for a small kick-around PC and don't want to deal with crapintosh, this is a great idea.

Wow - those really are lawsuit launching looks - even down to the way the backplane is cut into the rear of the case...

Luxpro tactics, TBH. And I forsee a similar response from Cupertino.
