ASUS RNUC15JNK7X5000U barebone mini PC Core Ultra 7 255HX RTX 5060 8GB DDR5 96GB dual M.2 Wi-Fi 7 BT 5.4

Ready-to-build mini workstation

The ASUS NUC 15 Performance barebone kit arrives as a 3-litre chassis populated with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 mobile GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It targets creators and engineers who want a compact system for real-time 3D rendering, AI-assisted content creation or multi-display productivity without assembling a full tower.

Cooling and connectivity built in

A three-fan QuietFlow design with dual vapor chambers handles the thermal load of the discrete GPU and Series-2 Core Ultra CPU while keeping acoustic levels low. Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE1750x and Bluetooth 5.4 provide up to 2.4× faster wireless throughput than the previous Wi-Fi generation, and a 2.5Gbps Intel Ethernet port covers wired links. The chassis passes MIL-STD 810H tests for shock and vibration resistance.

Toolless upgrades with two storage tiers

Lifting the top cover requires no tools and exposes two SO-DIMM slots for up to 96GB of DDR5-6400 memory plus two M.2 2280 slots — one PCIe Gen4x4 and one Gen5x4 — each accepting 128GB to 4TB NVMe drives. Buyers who need ECC memory, a second discrete GPU or more than five 4K outputs will have to choose a different platform.
