Thunderobot has introduced a new option to compete with Asus’s ROG NUC (2025), which comes with a powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU, currently priced at $3,199 on Amazon. The ROG NUC (2025) can also be set up with the Core Ultra 7 255HX, along with either the GeForce RTX 5060 or GeForce RTX 5070 in various regions. Additionally, Asus offers an AMD-based model known as the ROG GR70.
Performance Comparison
Unlike Thunderobot, which chose not to go with AMD processors, the Mix G2 actually outperforms both the ROG NUC (2025) and the ROG GR70 in terms of GPU capabilities. The Mix G2 can be equipped with a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, giving it about a 17% performance increase during gaming compared to the strongest ROG NUC (2025). However, it is important to note that the Mix G2 is notably taller and deeper, measuring 332 x 212 x 45 mm compared to the ROG NUC (2025)’s dimensions of 282 x 188 x 57 mm.
Design and Features
Furthermore, the Thunderobot Mix G2 employs a dual-fan system alongside a large heatsink, which allows it to deliver up to 175 W to its GPU alone, and a total of 295 W. The 3.2-litre mini-PC, as illustrated below, provides ample I/O options both at the front and rear, including one Thunderbolt 5 port. It also supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, as well as a Gigabit LAN connection.
The Thunderobot Mix G2 is set to launch on November 20 in China, starting at CNY 14,999 (approximately $2,108) with a Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. Upgrading to the Core Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5080 raises the price of the mini-PC to CNY 18,999 (around $2,670), while keeping the same memory setup. Finally, the GeForce RTX 5090 version will cost CNY 24,999 (about $3,513), partly due to its inclusion of 64 GB of RAM. There is still no information available regarding when it will be available internationally.
