Ever since ASUS announced its ROG NUC 2025 earlier this year, I've wanted to go hands-on -- but after hurting my back and not going to CES 2025 earlier this year, I had my chance at Computex 2025 this week -- and what an awesome little gaming PC it is. Check it out:

The ASUS ROG NUC 2025 packs some decently fast PC hardware inside of its small 3L chassis, with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, the system ships with 16GB of RAM but supports up to 96GB of DDR5-6400 memory, and rocks a 1TB Gen4 SSD (which can be upgraded to a 2TB Gen4 SSD).


ASUS had its ROG NUC 2025 mini-PC plugged into their new ROG Strix OLED XG32WG gaming monitor, which rocks along at 4K 165Hz, running DOOM: The Dark Ages smoothly (considering this is a tiny 3L chassis).

If you don't have much room on your desk for a full-sized desktop PC, but still wanted a beautifully-built, and gorgeously-styled system, the ASUS ROG NUC 2025 is a big contender for you. Between its great specs and style, it has plenty of I/O to keep you happy, and it's small enough to be quickly thrown into your backpack if you're headed to a LAN (and if you are, invite me!).

I did like the geeky breakdown that ASUS had on the floors of Nangang at Computex this year, something I loved to see, so I thought I'd include as many photos as we could (click into the gallery for more images).
