"free" keyboard, mouse, display included with the Clevo, as well. And the thinner profile more easily fits into a backpack or carrying bag, as opposed to a cube-like shape.
The Zotac EN1080K goes for 1910€ in Germany. Cheapest 1080 laptop is and ASUS ROG with a 6700HQ, 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM. 6-core 8700 based Schenker Laptop (Clevo rebrand) goes for 2820€. The Zotac with 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM is 2200€, plus OS, so maybe 2250. But for that I would bet you get better cooling and much better IO options. Sure, you lose the built in display and peripherals, but they serve different use cases. If you want a luggable, portable solution, why look at this thing. If you want a stationary thing that is out of the way, why look for a laptop with a large footprint.
Zotac also has several other versions, each using one of the cards below the 1080 if the price or size of the EN1080K doesn't work with a what someone has in mind with respect to a small gaming PC. The lower end systems are also physically smaller so there are options for people with a taste for something different.

Why Mini PCs cost more than a Laptop or proper desktops?https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/predator-mod...

Because it is even MORE tech, more power hungry, with more cooling then any laptop, in a smaller space, with a smaller market?DanNeely - Tuesday, January 2, 2018 - link
Even lower production volumes than laptops, meaning each sale has to cover a larger chunk of the total R&D budget.nerd1 - Tuesday, January 2, 2018 - link
It does NOT cost more than equivalent laptop (7700 and GTX 1080)Rookierookie - Tuesday, January 2, 2018 - link
On Newegg, a Clevo laptop with i7-8700K, GTX 1080, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD+1TB HDD goes for $2449. So pretty darn close.JoeyJoJo123 - Tuesday, January 2, 2018 - link

At least the zotac doesn't look like a tragedy like the Clevo.Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 3, 2018 - link

It's mostly because the Clevo is enormous. You pay for the engineering to get something this small.Flunk - Wednesday, January 3, 2018 - link
This is also a bit of boutique system, they're not going to sell many of these.PeachNCream - Wednesday, January 3, 2018 - link
