A gaming mini PC built around a laptop RTX 4070 and Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, the ROG NUC 970 splits its display outputs: the discrete GPU drives one HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a, while a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port (DisplayPort 2.1 via the integrated Intel Arc graphics) handles a fourth. The front has an SD Express slot, two USB-A 10 Gb/s and a headset jack; the rear adds two more USB-A 10 Gb/s, two USB 2.0, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.

Notes & Compatibility
CORRECTION vs queue draft: outputs are 1x HDMI 2.1 + 2x DisplayPort 1.4a (from the RTX 4070) + 1x Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 2.1 (from integrated Intel Arc) — not dual HDMI. Front SD slot is SD Express 8.0, modeled as UHS-II (no SD Express tier in the approved palette). External power adapter — not modeled.
