as far as i can tell they have the exact same hardware (n150, 16g memory). the complains people have about that laptop was mostly about it not being a good enough laptop. if i'm planning to run it as a proxmox box with lid close most of the time, the extra 30 buck would be well worth it for the 15 inch screen, built-in keyboard, and battery backup. no?
am i missing something? thoughts?

Obviously the screen on it is probably horrible, but if that deal came back I'd buy it for all of the above reasons, and can always use hdmi if I need the color

Also the laptop has usb-c which this one does not but you lose the displayport.

I ordered the GMKtec NucBox G3 Plus direct from GMKtech in China for $159.11 shipped including $3 shipping insurance.
Same specs except 2.5 Gbps LAN and an extra SATA m.2 slot.
Maybe I can't read but didn't see the NIC speed on this.

it appears that ebay regularly have the laptop version of this nuc on sale for around 160 (199 normal price). for example:

Yes, you are missing some things. Firstly, a laptop and a mini-PC are two different things and niches; someone looking for one would not normally be interested in the other. Second, again, that laptop is refurbished, while this here is brand new. This mini-PC also has better ports and is easier to carry around than a 15" laptop.
anyone looking for a laptop would obviously not buy a NUC. but the reverse is not necessarily true. that's what makes this an interesting choice.
for most people looking for a NUC as a small home sever or even desktop, i'm struggling to find a reason to NOT pay $30 more and get the monitor, keyboard, built-in battery backup, usb-c power input and supply...
as far as ports, the laptop has has 2x usb3, 1xusb2, 1xusbc, 1 hdmi. NUC has 2xusb3, 2xusb2, 1xdp and 1xhdmi. so laptop actually has better ports. (the dp port is replaced by the display)
laptop is physically bigger, but if people are planning to travel with it, wouldn't they most likely need to bring along a display and keyboard anyway?
laptop was refurb with 2 years of warranty (from seller?), new NUC from amazon may or may not come with one year warranty. both warranty have very little value in my book.
it just feels like the laptop form would be better deal in every way but i can't shake the feeling that i'm missing something important...

well, yeah, they are different things.
