Glad that Asus and Intel made this agreement. Maybe this should bring some new things for the NUC line up. Ahem, I am not referring to known Asus blunders regarding warranty.

10th to 13th generations? It seems strange not even one future generation is included, even though the 14th shouldn't be that far off. It's like investing into the past, which makes me think not that much will be invested. Or does this mean that beyond the 13th gen the name "NUC" must disappear entirely, which is why the deal is so strictly limited? So, after a few of years, there won't be any new NUCs available, just other Intel based mini-PCs by the old and new OEMs. But as long as it's only up to the 13th gen, Asus can call it a NUC.

it is strange, especially now Intel has split 14th gen (Meteor Lake for lower end & mobile Arrow Lake for high end) the new mobile/nuc chips are very interesting and the igpu is a huge upgrade from past Intel offerings. maybe Asus could riff off of the high end nuc with the discrete gpu... that would fit right in as a ROG nuc

Bet this is gonna spawn all kinds of flashy looking RGB puke cubes, knowing ASUS.
