You stated that you couldn't update the OS on the Eagle, which is wrong, it’s the same as any Windows OS with regular/frequent updates.
Like I said, I'm not trying to justify the cost to you, you either like the product or you don't and its clear which camp you are in but don’t matter-of-factly offer the wrong information about a product because you read it on a forum somewhere. Why would a company like PrimaLuceLab put together a premium based Windows product that you can't update?
You seem to be taking this a bit personally. Please don't. We can discuss a product, and have our own opinions about it respectfully with each other.

I included the Pocket Powerbox Advance not the Ultimate because you mentioned that as a comparison, not me.
Eagles being NUC based is irrelevant to the point. They are still bested by a Celeron in a mini-PC format (which for practical purposes, is identical to a NUC)

You're also right by my not adding a $240 SQM meter. Including that cost still puts it significantly under the Eagle, even the cheapest one.

As for matter of fact wrong information, what was wrong with what I posted? I was only directly quoting what was in a thread by other owners? More than one person in that thread said that it comes with a version of Windows not licensed to them and that they couldn't upgrade it unless they switched to Windows 10. If that has changed in recent times, fair enough.
