I’m patiently waiting for Apple to turn the Mac mini into a games console – could this Nvidia RTX 5080-powered Asus ROG NUC mini PC be the answer?

Asus is set to launch the ROG NUC 2025 this year featuring Nvidia’s RTX 5080 laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The high-performance mini-gaming PC will also include an Intel Core Ultra 9 (Series 2) ARL-HX processor. The upcoming model is expected to outperform the current ROG NUC 970 but will come with a higher price tag. Comparisons with the M4 Mac mini reveal superior performance capabilities of the ROG NUC 2025, particularly in gaming, driven by Nvidia’s DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation technology. Despite its performance benefits, the steep price may deter buyers looking for more affordable gaming options. The implementation of Windows 11 on the ROG NUC distinguishes it from Apple’s macOS, highlighting the PC’s optimization for gaming. Although pricier, the ROG NUC 2025 is poised to be a top choice for gamers seeking enhanced performance and features.
