There are so many AMD mini PCs available these days, who cares it's not the Intel NUC that Intel abandoned. A mini PC is a mini PC in my book.

Yeah exactly. I replaced my dead NUC with an Asus AMD mini PC. That replacement now has a 382 day uptime :)

Yeah I've got an AMD powered mini PC that I use for gaming in the living room. It's pretty awesome.

That's a fun phrase to say out loud.

"AMD-powered NUKE"

They've had the PN series for 3-4 years now, it's just not branded 'NUC'. I have a PN51 with a Ryzen 5 5500U and it's been rock solid.

Glad to see they're refreshing the line.

AMD also claims that the Ryzen AI Max 395+’s integrated graphics, the Radeon 8060S, can beat the RTX 4070 laptop GPU by up to 68%

This sounds really promising. IMO previous NUC products are only targeting multimedia, and they performed poor at gaming. If a NUC could have at least mid-level gaming PC's performance, it will be very attractive to those who have limited desk space
