How is this different from an Intel NUC ?

I think it IS Intel's NUC in an acrylic box and wouldn't be surprised to see Kickstarter end this project

They have addressed this in the updates page but frankly, I am now lost:

"We make no secret in saying that our insanely small Neutrons are made possible with Intel's ultra-small form factor NUC boards. We are working directly with a distributor to make sure to get the best pricing for Next Unit of Computing boards we can. Where the Neutron shines is that it is one of the only fully integrated NUC based computers in the world, meaning using one is just as simple as taking it out of the box and plugging it in" [1]

So, they are charging a premium to literally install the RAM, SSD and Windows 8.1 (in some pledges only).
