ASUS's high-end NUC pairs a Core Ultra 9 185H with an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU in a 2.4-litre chassis. 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. Four USB-A 10Gbps ports (two front, two rear) plus two rear USB-A 2.0 cover peripherals, a single 2.5GbE jack handles networking, and the front adds a UHS-I SD card reader and a 3.5mm combo jack.

Notes & Compatibility
Sold under the ASUS name: ASUS took over Intel’s NUC line in 2023. Display outputs come off the RTX 4070 mobile GPU (HDMI 2.1 + 2× DP 1.4a); Thunderbolt 4 routes DP 2.1 alt mode from the iGPU. Power comes from a 330W external adapter (19.5V DC barrel, not modeled).
