They rely on using laptop parts to build a desktop computer, and the Intel NUC is by all measures an excellent computer. The groove base is magnetic to hold the bits tight from falling out, the bits will not fall even you turn over the box. Both the NUC and the Mac Mini are examples of very small desktop computers running at very low power consumption while offering tremendous computational performance.

Start by examining the above image that was supplied by Apple, and which graces Apple's marketing information about the Late 2018 Mac Mini.
