Why are there regular DDR5 SO-DIMMs? This doesn't need LPDDR5, but it surprises me that all DDR5 SO-DIMMs aren't LP.

The main thing I don't like about these types of min-PCs is how loud their fans can get, when you push them hard. That's why I'm trying to build my own, but even ~25 W is a lot of heat to dissipate passively, without a huge heatsink.

Disdappointing device. No USB4 or Thunderbolt port, no WiFi7, no HDMI 2.1 FRL port.

Whether it's disappointing depends on the price. If this is positioned at the lower-end of the market, I'm not surprised at their absence, since those are features only a power-user would want.

I own an i5 and an i7 Intel brand NUC. Both were very affordable. Both have thunderbolt.
Asus simply doesn't want you to be able to use any old Thunderbolt eGPU when they have their own proprietary eGPUs that they can charge obscene amounts of money for.
