At this CES, the new ASUS ROG NUC compact PC has been presented, a very powerful hardware within the minimum possible volume.
Inside this new NUC with Gamer box we have a new generation Intel Core Ultra 7-155H processor combined with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU that integrates 12 GB of GDDR6X RAM, a graphic that alone is already around $620. A system designed to put you both vertically and horizontally, occupying a minimum possible space on our table, but offering maximum power. A system that will have no problem running AAA games in 2K and up to 4K quality.
This mini PC is certainly spectacular and will not come cheap being ASUS. If we are interested in this format we have Chinese alternatives with the same GPU that may interest us.
