At the ROG New Product Super Play Club event, ASUS unveiled a compact gaming system, the ROG Magic 9 Mini, built on an AMD platform. It is the first mini system to pair a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor with a mobile NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card.
Despite a 3-liter chassis, the unit is designed to sustain up to 190 W of performance. A cooling setup with three fans and direct-contact heat pipes is there to keep it steady under load. For a footprint this small, the target looks ambitious, yet the thermal design suggests ASUS is aiming for consistent clocks rather than short bursts.
It offers two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, two M.2 2280 SSD bays — one with PCIe 5.0 support — and simplified, tool-free access for upgrades.
Networking is covered by 2.5 GbE Ethernet and Wi‑Fi 7 (160 MHz).
On the connectivity side, there is USB4, USB-C at 10 Gbps, six USB-A at 10 Gbps, two HDMI 2.1, and two DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20. The mix aims to support multi-display setups and fast peripherals without reaching for a dock.
The first configuration ships with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. The starting price is 14,999 yuan, which is about 2,050 US dollars. That positions the mini PC squarely in the premium small-form-factor segment.
