The Asus ROG NUC 970 is a powerful, gaming-focused mini PC in a unique chassis that allows it to be used in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. There’s a nice selection of rear ports with support for up to four 4K monitors, and you can easily add more storage thanks to the two free M.2 slots or upgrade its RAM.
After acquiring the rights to Intel’s Next Unit of Compute (NUC) line of mini PCs last year, Asus is now making its own NUC devices. The ROG NUC 970 is its first NUC mini PC for gaming and it comes equipped with an Intel Core Ultra processor and a Nvidia laptop GPU due to size limitations. Even with a tiny 2.5-liter chassis though, it packs a punch performance-wise while remaining both cool and quiet.
