- Thunderobot Mix G2 offers 17% GPU boost over ROG NUC 2025
- Top configuration includes Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5090 GPU
- Night Owl cooling system maintains high performance under sustained workloads
The Chinese firm Thunderobot has launched the Mix G2, a compact mini gaming PC positioned as a direct competitor to the ROG NUC 2025 from Asus.
The system combines Intel Core Ultra HX processors with Nvidia RTX 50 laptop GPUs, delivering performance that was previously limited to full-size desktop computers or mobile workstations.
The top configuration combines a Core Ultra 9 275HX with a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, delivering up to 230W of total system power in a 3.2-liter chassis.
Compact size with Night Owl cooling
This device offers a 17% GPU performance boost over the more powerful ROG NUC 2025, making it suitable for both gaming and professional workloads.
At 332 × 212 × 45 mm, the Mix G2 is slightly larger than the ROG NUC, but is still compact enough for desktop or office use.
Its “Night Owl” cooling system integrates a large heatsink with dual fans covering both the CPU and GPU, supporting sustained high-performance workloads.
The case also features a backlit logo, a blue light strip, and a Penrose triangle-style power button, giving it a distinctive aesthetic.
Inside, the Mix G2 supports two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and includes one PCIe 5.0 slot and one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot.
Wireless connectivity comes from Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 modules, while the front I/O offers USB Type-A and Type-C ports in addition to a 3.5mm audio jack.
The rear panel includes an RJ45 Ethernet port, HDMI 2.1, a 10Gbps USB-A port, and Thunderbolt 5 support.
These features allow the mini PC to function as a versatile hub comparable to business laptops or even smaller mobile workstations.
Three configurations of this device will be launched in China on November 20.
The Thunderobot Mix G2 starts at RMB 14,999 (~$2,110) for the Core Ultra 7 255HX with RTX 5070 Ti and 32GB of RAM, and goes up to RMB 18,999 (~$2,670) for the Core Ultra 9 275HX with RTX 5080 and 32GB of RAM.
The flagship model starts at RMB 26,999 (~$3,790) with the Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5090, and 64GB of RAM.
Asus ROG NUC starts below $2,000, which could be a deal breaker for buyers considering the Thunderobot Mix G2.
