What qualifies this as a kit though? All I see is a pre-configured readymade lunch box PC.

Probably because it doesn't have preinstalled RAM and disk drives.

Well, I wouldn't call it a kit in that case, but whatever Gigabyte chooses to call it, I guess.

Even Intel NUC is called a kit.

That's a shame. Something where you seat the CPU, motherboard, attach the fans, PSU, do all that yourself, I could see that being called a kit. Even the Mac Mini has upgradable RAM and HDD, but that doesn't qualify it as a kit, and the lack of RAM and preinstalled disk drives shouldn't qualify any PC as a kit, IMO.
