Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that Intel would end their NUC line, ASUS and Intel have struck a non-exclusive deal that will see ASUS assume manufacturing, sales, and support of 10th-13th Gen NUCs. ASUS will also be able to develop future NUC designs; all under a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU.
Asusnucbu! Asusnucbu! Flataghn ia ia!
slaughters lamb
Dafuk is that name 🤣
Yay! Too bad they’re going to suck and likely to be not worth buying.
ASUS has massive QC issues and nonexistent support these days. They’ve been riding the coattails of their gaming heyday and can’t build anything worth a shit. Jayz talks about it best
Intel just punted the ball so it’s not their problem anymore. Do NOT fucking buy these.
I remember having an ASUS board for about 6 months back in the mid 2000’s before it blew up. Talked to some people back then and it was a relatively common experience. I’m not sure how ASUS has been doing well as a company for the past 20 years, when it seems like all their stuff blows up.
ASUS still ironing out the wrinkles 20 years later…
They had a period of about 6 years starting around the Intel Ivy Bridge era where they actually made some really nice stuff. It’s like they put effort in, saw results, and then went back into coast mode.

I love my Asus mini-pc… just dont tell intel that it’s a Ryzen based model.
Oh cool, another ASUS PC company spinoff, add it to the pile
I love my nuc. It’s so cute. Glad they’re not going away. I just hope asus nuc bu isn’t some ancient curse
I'm kind of glad. Only because I was thinking about buying a NUC for windows development purposes instead of using a VM or dual boot -- so it looks like that option will be available for me in the future.
