ASUS has officially confirmed the pricing and specifications for the ROG GR70, marking the company's entry into the gaming mini PC market with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor. This launch matters because it brings high-end desktop-class silicon into a chassis under three liters, offering a compact alternative to traditional tower gaming rigs for users with limited desk space. The GR70 targets buyers who need serious graphical performance without the footprint of a full-sized desktop computer.
ASUS confirms European pricing and full specifications for its first ROG gaming mini PC
The system serves as ASUS's first ROG-branded gaming mini PC, utilizing a chassis that measures 282.4 by 187.7 by 56.5 mm. It weighs 2.73 kg and relies on an external 330W power adapter for energy. Inside, the hardware pairs AMD Ryzen 9 CPUs with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series Laptop GPUs to deliver gaming performance in a small form factor.
Specifications
- CPU Options: Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, Ryzen 9 9955HX, Ryzen 9 8940HX
- GPU Options: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
- Dimensions: 282.4 x 187.7 x 56.5 mm
- Weight: 2.73 kg
- Power Adapter: 330W
ASUS offers two primary configurations for the European market. The top-tier GR70-N90039AN model combines a Ryzen 9 9955HX processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU and 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory. The more affordable GR70-N90043AN configuration steps down to a Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU and an RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, while retaining 16GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD. Both systems ship with Windows 11 Home pre-installed.
The GR70 utilizes ROG QuietFlow cooling technology, which employs three fans and heat pipes to manage thermal output. ASUS claims the system maintains noise levels below 4.5 dB(A) during demanding workloads, a figure that appears unusually low for a gaming PC and may require further clarification. The Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU option is listed in the specifications but is not yet available for purchase in Europe.
Pricing for the confirmed European models starts at 2888 EUR (around $3,303) for the RTX 5060 variant and rises to 3478 EUR (around $3,978) for the RTX 5070 model. We looked at ASUS ROG Strix 10 Series Gaming laptops earlier while tracking similar hardware launches from the vendor. The GR70 establishes a new baseline for compact gaming hardware from ASUS, with immediate availability for the two priced configurations in the European region.
