Asus brings Phantom Blade Zero-themed special edition of ROG NUC 16 mini PC Asus has just launched a special edition of the ROG NUC 16 mini PC featuring the Phantom Blade Zero game. Why is this news important? Well, it shows that Asus is capable of including such high-end desktop-grade parts in a computer case that is smaller than a regular shoebox. This also gives us gaming enthusiasts the choice of getting console-grade power in a smaller chassis, without having to worry about a tower case.

The ROG NUC 16 features an Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU alongside an 5080 Laptop GPU. Asus put 16GB of GDDR7 memory on the GPU to handle those modern graphics tasks. While the regular model gets an RTX 5070, this special edition takes the hardware up to an RTX 5080 level.

Specifications

  • Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus
  • GPU: GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (16GB GDDR7)
  • Memory: 32GB DDR5-6400 (up to 128GB)
  • Storage: 2TB SSD
  • Chassis Volume: 3 liters

The new hardware is housed in a 3-liter chassis. The system has the dimensions of 282.5 x 189.5 x 56.5mm. Asus has included its QuietFlow system to keep the cooling in check.

The cooling system includes three fans and a unified vapor chamber. Asus says this system allows it to keep the noise level below 38dBA while gaming demanding titles.

Asus has also provided a Wi-Fi 7 connection, Thunderbolt 4, and 2.5Gb Ethernet. It has also got HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. The special edition sports a black and red look with a semi-transparent front and blade-type patterns. It has 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM and a 2TB SSD.

In China, the ROG NUC 16 special edition with an RTX 5070 GPU is priced at $3,740. For the RTX 5080 system, you will have to spend $4,720. Asus hasn't shared any release date or pricing details for other regions outside China. So, if you are in another region, you'll have to wait for future announcements.

The ROG NUC 16 brings the same compact size as the regular model. But it comes with high-end gaming capabilities. This special edition is for gaming enthusiasts who like to save space while getting higher frame rates. For now, it's limited in regions, so it's focused on the Chinese market.
