The ASUS ROG NUC Mini PC is a compact gaming desktop with dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. Its Intel Core Ultra 9 processor has 24 cores for demanding applications and multitasking. The processor runs at a 1.8 GHz base frequency and boosts up to 5.5 GHz. Dedicated graphics support gaming and visually intensive workloads, including creative applications. A single 1 TB SSD stores the operating system, applications, and games, with capacity worth considering when planning a larger game library. Windows 11 Home is installed in its 64-bit version.

The black mini PC chassis suits desktop setups where space is limited. Installed memory totals 32 GB of DDR5-SDRAM running at 6400 MHz. Two 16 GB modules occupy the system's two SO-DIMM slots. Memory support extends to 128 GB, although expansion requires replacing the installed modules. Two HDMI outputs and two DisplayPort outputs provide connections for multiple monitors. A power cable is included for connecting the system to mains power.
