"The fully configured ROG NUC (2025) Gaming Mini PC with top-tier specs—Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, and Windows 11 Home—is currently priced around $3,339 USD on AVADirect."



At least it comes with Three months of Adobe Creative Cloud. So at nearly 3.5k USD that's a bargain.

As the saying goes, if you have to ask - it's already too expensive.

IIRC, the saying is: "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it", but it means the same thing either way, hahahaha :D

And IMHO, it IS too expensive, at least for my wallet anyways !

Ah, the front page link. The forum page doesn't have that link. Some of us read articles from within the forum which doesn't import the source links properly. It's a known issue I'd forgotten about. Sorry about that.
