People that want a smaller machine. Powerful performance in a incredibly tiny form factor. As someone that’s tired of the midsize tower sitting on the floor next to me I can see the appeal.

That was one of think I thought but I imagine it's fairly loud with just two fans. If it's quiet, I can see the appeal. If it sounds like a jet engine, it would lose some "desktop" / htpc appeal.

The initial reviews I’ve read state it’s incredibly quiet even at full load.

How does one grow tired of this?

Crappy desk layout. My office has a long “custom” multi station desk and each station has a certain amount of leg room for chair etc. The compact mid tower shares that space. It gets to feel intrusive and “in the way”. Yep that’s no fault of the tower at all (and a desk problem and not a computer problem) but there’s many times I wish I could just get rid of the box down by my feet and put a tiny one behind my monitors.
