Released May 2025.8Press articlenotebookcheck.net/Asus-releases-ROG-NUC-2025-gaming-mini-PC-with-Intel-Core-Ultra-9-275HX-and-Nvidia-GeForce-RTX-5080.1025845.0.htmlRead 5 October 2026May 28, 2025 report says 275HX / RTX 5080 Laptop / 32 GB / 2 TB ROG NUC can already be purchased in China as RNUC15JNK9X28AA6. This establishes first global retail month for the same NUC15JNKU9X9 hardware configuration. US AAU country-kit code is the reference for specs and box, not a claim of US first sale in May. Later June US preorder coverage and July delivery estimates are not first global retail. China order code is not added as a variant and no local Chinese price enters USD MSRP.

Claims 3 L chassis, dual vapor chamber air cooling, ARGB ROG logo and Aura Sync lighting. Its preliminary table mistakenly says 1000 W 80 PLUS Gold supply and old DDR5-5600 slots. Final user guide and exact SKU list 330 W external adapter and DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMMs and are used instead. No early preliminary PSU value is stored.

Headline table labels the triplet W/D/H inconsistently with this drawing, and another summary says including feet. Detailed labelled mechanical drawing is retained. Fixed base width 146 mm is not the body width. Maker states vertical-only operation and that the fixed base cannot be removed.

Matching review has one factory 2 TB drive and one free connector. The review does not identify which physical connector contains the factory Gen4 drive. Occupancy groups therefore retain one occupied and one free socket, both x4, without assigning a generation to either group. No Gen5 capability is transferred to the installed Gen4 SSD. Source confirms overall Gen5 maximum but schema derives it from rows, so it remains unavailable when that correlation cannot be proved. No SATA bay is inferred.
