If the NUC 15 Performance looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s essentially a non-ROG version of the ROG NUC (2025) sans RGB lightings and some of the more notable gaming-styled aesthetics. Both NUC machines also support up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX chip and runs on Wi-Fi 7.

But there are also notable differences between the ROG NUC and this NUC 15 Performance. Where the former comes in a complete build, the NUC 15 Performance doesn’t come with memory or even an OS – although it supports up to 48GB of DDR5 RAMs and Windows 11. Where the ROG NUC supports up to a GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, the NUC 15 Performance comes with a choice of a GeForce RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 Laptop GPU.
