Power Play: ASUS ROG NUC 2025 packs a full gaming rig in a mini PC you can bring to work

Some of us want a PC that crunches spreadsheets by day and carries our squad in Helldivers 2 by night. Enter the ASUS ROG NUC 2025, a mini PC with major main-character energy. It’s the first sub-three-liter gaming rig from the Republic of Gamers, and it’s heading to the Philippines by the end of Q3 2025.

It may be small, but this box bites.

Built for the grind and the grindset

At its core, the ROG NUC 2025 is powered by an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX processor and up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU. The kind of combo that laughs in the face of lag. It supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory and boasts up to 4x faster rendering than its predecessor, making it a beast for creative professionals and gamers alike.

Running demanding workloads? Rendering 4K footage? Editing timelines with 37 open tabs? Go for it. Then flip straight into high-fidelity gaming mode without even closing Slack.

AI on the inside, RGB on the outside

With DLSS 4, Ray Reconstruction, and AI-powered frame generation, this mini monster delivers silky-smooth visuals and high FPS without breaking a sweat. Whether you’re building your portfolio or your next custom loadout, it’s got the brains and the brawn.

Bonus points: you also get access to NVIDIA NIM microservices for advanced AI workflows, plus Aura Sync ARGB to keep your vibe aesthetic on point.

Chill under pressure

Thanks to ROG QuietFlow cooling, including a triple-fan setup and dual vapor chambers, this PC stays whisper-quiet even when you don’t. It’s engineered to keep things cool when the pressure’s on, be it during crunch time or a boss fight.

So many ports, so little desk space

Despite its under-3L volume, the ROG NUC 2025 comes loaded with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and more USB ports than you have devices. Wireless-wise, it’s rocking WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, so latency doesn’t stand a chance.

Tool-free access means future upgrades are a breeze, and its vertical stand makes it look just smug enough on your desk.

A bonus for creatives

Creators who snag the ROG NUC 2025 also get a 3-month trial of Adobe Creative Cloud, perfect for jumping into full-throttle projects without missing a beat (or a subscription fee).

Philippine pricing and availability

Coming end of Q3 2025, here’s what’s heading to local shelves:

▪️ROG NUC 2025 (RTX 5080) – ₱162,000

▪️ROG NUC 2025 (RTX 5070Ti) – ₱125,000

Whether you’re a work-from-home warrior, a digital nomad, or just someone who believes every desk deserves a secret weapon, the ROG NUC 2025 proves you don’t need a tower to bring the power.
