My future rig will be a MINI PC with a Stix Halo like APU. need a gaming one hoping for a 16 core APU with a lot of type c ports and type a...been building my own PC over the years but with GPUs becoming power hungry and expensive especially here in Australia A MINI PC with an APU will be a good choice for me.

ROG NUC: I'm not going to touch it, then proceed to remove the power cord.

[randxalthor]

Just a note that the video description still says the video isn't sponsored in the boilerplate block at the bottom.

[JMartinni]

You're saying they don't offer NUCs with AMD CPUs, but there's a AMD NUC in all but name right there, first one you cover at 2:02 - ExpertCenter PN54. It's also not any less "premium" from what I've seen in articles.

Asus needs to sell them in Costco / Sam's club

[ManuelGrau]

No thunderbolt 5 port to plug an external GPU?

[northyland]

I still want a full size gaming pc with lots of cooling, so it doesn't burn up in 8 months, and if there is a problem I can replace components. These would be good for office or media.

[TrusteftTech]

Good systems, I really like the ROG one of course. I also liked how one of the nuc ones had translucent case, a plus for me.
Another thing I would like to mention, I don't know Adam, but he clearly has good taste in shirts.

[geoffreycollins]

The i/O on PN54 device is soo silly. Why on Earth everyone would need TWO 2.5G Ethernet ports. Why there's no at least Thunderbolt 4 port?
Copilot button on a box that will be placed far from the reach of a hand🤦‍♂Better replace it with another USB port

[GIRGHGH]

Would rather have another port on front than a copilot button. If I wanted to use copilot I'd use the button on a keyboard, not reach over to the computer. Who designed this?

[GabrielMartinez-fegj]

The headphone connection is not bad, it would have been Bluetooth.

[junicosinnung]

When will the mini PC put a rechargeable battery like in a laptop...so I can carry wherever I go

[itsmilan]

NUCs have always been intel only mini PCs
closet AMD got to NUC branding was collab between Intel CPU and Redeon GPU fused with special NVlink few years back

[LOVER_LINK]

you gotta fix your subtitles because its called NUC

[Michalos]

I don't have any use case for it, but would want one none the less

[TiggerLyOne]

True premium should have internal power supply!

[tomaszwaszka]

4:54 "Thunderbolt" OK, but which one? 3, 4 or latest Thunderbolt 5

[rob-nz]

These need a Thunderbolt 5 port particularly with Asus releasing the XG Mobile later this year, which is a Thunderbolt 5 eGPU

[aytviewer]

WTF good is a "Co Pilot" button on a PC case??? That feature alone stops me from even looking at that machine any further. Anyone else as sick of over-hyped AI features as I am?

I use a older laptop (Dell E6330 paid $150 refurb. with lots of add ons thrown in worth every penny) with Linux Lite, fast boot up and very snappy only for torrenting😂 and have my main PC gaming rig. A mini PC is interesting, that might replace my laptop needs in the future 😉
