Introduction to ASUS Rog Nook

📈 The ASUS Rog Nook is a small, powerful, and whisper-quiet PC that the author has been testing as a replacement for their underpowered desktop PC.
🤔 The author was looking for a smaller PC that could fit in their 12x12 foot "Nerd Nest" room without being an eyesore next to their TV.
📊 The Rog Nook features an Intel Core 9 185h processor, RTX 470 laptop GPU, 8 gigs of video RAM, 32 gigs of system RAM, and a terabyte of storage.

Hardware and Performance

📊 The Rog Nook has three m.2 2280 slots for storage upgrades, but the author had to remove the heat sink from their 4TB hard drive to fit it inside the case.
🚀 The author tested the Rog Nook with 3D Mark Time Spy, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, achieving high frame rates and scores.
📈 The Rog Nook's IO includes one Thunderbolt port, four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, and an SD card reader.

Using Basite on ASUS Rog Nook

📝 The author attempted to install Basite on the Rog Nook, which worked initially but eventually stopped functioning, likely due to Nvidia's lack of driver support.
📊 The author had to revert back to Windows, but is looking for ways to use the Rog Nook with a controller, such as using software solutions from their friend Carrie aka the fox.

Using ASUS Rog Nook with Arcade Cabinet

🎮 The author connected the Rog Nook to their arcade cabinet, which worked well with Steam Big Picture Mode, but had issues with volume control and screen refresh rate.
📺 The author is looking for a 120Hz 22-inch monitor to fit in the arcade cabinet and find a solution for controlling volume easily.

Conclusion and Future Plans

🤔 The author is happy with the Rog Nook, but wishes it came with AMD hardware instead of Nvidia, and would like to see more USB-C ports and a smaller power brick.
📅 The author may post another video in the future if they find a way to improve the arcade experience with the Rog Nook, and is aiming to hit 100K subscribers in 2025.
