Asus reveals global pricing for new gaming mini-PC with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 GPUs
Asus has presented multiple devices today at Computex 2026 in Taipei. As we have covered separately, the company has embraced Nvidia's RTX Spark processors in the ProArt P14, a new ProArt P16 and the ProArt Mini PC. At the same time, Asus has detailed its latest gaming mini-PC globally.
To recap, the company presented the ROG NUC 16 around two weeks ago in China. For context, the mini-PC is a replacement for the ROG NUC (2025) that we reviewed in November 2025 with a GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU (curr. $3,758 on Amazon). The ROG NUC (2025) also comes in RTX 5060, RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti variants, too.
By contrast, Asus has confirmed that the ROG NUC 16 will be available globally with just the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080. The Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus is available in all SKUs, offering a circa 5% performance improvement over the Core Ultra 9 275HX in the ROG NUC (2025). Moreover, Asus plans to only sell SKUs with 16 GB of DDR5-5600 or DDR5-6400 RAM, despite up to 64 GB of RAM being supported.
Conversely, the ROG NUC 16 will be sold with 1 TB or 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. Every SKU features a 380 W power adapter too, and weighs 3.12 kg with 282.4 x 189.5 x 56.5~117.9 mm dimensions. So far, the ROG NUC 16 is only being sold in China, where it starts at CNY 29,999 (~$4,433) or CNY 30,999 (~$4,580) for its white model. However, Asus has confirmed that the new gaming mini-PC will cost $3,799 in the US and CAD 5,249 in Canada with an RTX 5080 laptop GPU.
