Asus engineers also paid special attention to the device’s ergonomics.
The package includes a special stand equipped with an accelerometer that detects whether the PC is positioned horizontally or vertically and adjusts system performance accordingly. This allows users to maximize desk space efficiency.
Despite its small size, the ROG NUC 20th Anniversary Edition is well-equipped with a wide range of ports. The front panel includes USB-A, USB-C, and audio jacks, while the rear offers Thunderbolt 4, four USB-A ports, two HDMI 2.1, and two DisplayPort 2.1 connections.
