ASUS's high-end NUC pairs a Core Ultra 9 185H with a desktop RTX 4070 in a 2.4-litre chassis — five 4K displays from one mini PC. Rear I/O leads with one HDMI 2.1 FRL, two DisplayPort 1.4a, and a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 alt mode. Six USB-A 10Gbps ports plus two USB-A 2.0 cover peripherals, a 5GbE jack handles networking, and a 3.5mm combo jack handles audio.
Strix Halo-class mini PC with RTX 4070: HDMI 2.1, 2× DP 1.4a, Thunderbolt 4, 8× USB-A, 5GbE + 2.5GbE.
