I've been keeping an eye out for the BD790i X3D since they confirmed they'd be releasing it in March. Looks like it's available in the EU but I haven't found it listed on the minisforum.com website yet

Edit: looks like they added it to the US site: https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-bd795ise?variant=46451384385781

Because you want that sort of hardware for a project? E.g. small PC for some lower end gaming, maybe optional eGPU via Oculink on it. That'd be a neat combo.

... Which sucks in my case, since I just bought one begrudgingly, as no X3D version was available.

But...why? Why wouldn't you use a standard ITX PC that costs less, has better performance, and is actually repairable/upgradeable?

Because this is smaller and uses less energy due to laptop components.

Sometimes that outweighs having an upgradeable mini itx based system.
