Launch of Asus ROG NUC (2025) Models Worldwide
The Asus ROG NUC (2025) gaming mini-PC is available worldwide, still in more affordable configurations. After an initial release strictly of the highend model, now Asus allows configurations with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 laptop GPUs along with Intel Core Ultra processors.
Extended Configurations Arrive After Delay in the Rollout
Asus first announced the ROG NUC in January at CES 2025 and promised an array of options. However, with its initial release in May, only the top-tier configuration (Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5080) became available. The company has now added two more accessible SKUs:
- Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060
- Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070
These models were first launched in China and later confirmed for a global release.

The new variants of the ROG NUC (2025) are becoming available with global retailers in Europe and the US, often at prices lower than the suggested retail prices.
