Ten years ago, this would have been far more exciting news. However, given the quality issues Asus has been having for several years, this is not the company that should be picking up the baton. I'd have preferred to see ASRock, given their portfolio of NUC-alikes.

I have a bunch of NUC-sized AMD systems - mostly from asrock, but one from asus as well, as the asrock ones were not available at the moment.

Buying that thing yet again proved all prejudices against asus. Half the special features are not working, support is incompetent, and firmware updating is a mess - as is the documentation. asrock has a detailed description of every pin header on the board over multiple pages - while asus used that space with a detailed guide on how to find and press the power button.
