ASUS’ ROG NUC (2025) isn’t holding back this generation as they manage to fit in plenty of horsepower in just a 3-liter chassis. Its current set of hardware makes it one of the most powerful mini PCs in the market.
The ROG NUC (2025) packs in notebook variants of PC hardware in order to fit in its small chassis. It is powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with up to 96GB of DDR5-6400 memory, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU, and two M.2 slots (PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0).
Connectivity includes a 2.5Gb Ethernet port and support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. It also comes with two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, and a 3.5mm combo jack at the front; and a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port, four USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, two HDMI 2.1 FRL, two DisplayPort 2.1, and a DC-in jack at the rear.
The NUC itself measures at only 282 x 187.7 x 56.5mm, and comes with a vertical stand. The brand says that its triple-fan system with a dual-vapor chamber design minimizes noise while still allowing the system to be cool under heavy workloads.
