Directly no - they're called a NUC for Next Unit of Computing   - purely 
sales drivel.

As long as you can do away with normal PCI / PCIe expansion then you're 
good.  They're not cheap for their spec.

That said, you're forced to have a SSD which is always good for general 
performance.

The video device will be an integrated Intel one, whether that handles 
HD properly I have no idea.

Other handy question
* Why only USB2?  Seems a bit... old
* Is it silent?  Probably not if they come with intel i3/i5 CPUs.

Note There are two variants - the dual HDMI one or single HDMI with 
thunderbolt.

Also note that price doesn't include SSD or Ram.
