In both cases, RAM can be increased. Up to 32 GB and an SSD can be used as a user memory module with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 connector.
Asus ROG NUC can be mounted horizontally or vertically using the included stand. The front of the mini PC will include an SD card reader, two USB-A ports and audio jacks. The rear panel includes one Thunderbolt 4 port, four USB-A ports, one HDMI port, two DisplayPort ports, and one 2.5Gig Ethernet port.
