New RTX 5070-Powered Mini PC Debuts with Massive 96GB RAM Capacity

#RTX 5070

A powerful new contender has entered the compact computing arena, promising desktop-class capability within a highly portable footprint. SimplyNUC’s newly unveiled Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance combines the graphical prowess of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU with a high-end Intel Core Ultra series processor and exceptionally generous memory options. Here is a closer look at what this potent system brings to the table.

Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance: Small Form Factor, Massive Power

Inside the chassis, the system can be configured with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU paired with the RTX 5070 laptop GPU, which features 8GB of VRAM. However, the true standout specification is the memory ceiling; users can equip the device with a staggering 96GB of DDR5 RAM. This capacity distinguishes the Jean Canyon from the vast majority of mini PCs currently on the market.

This hardware combination facilitates not just high-end gaming, but also heavy multitasking, data visualization, and large-scale creative workflows. Storage capabilities are equally impressive, with dual M.2 slots supporting PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 drives for a maximum total capacity of 8TB. Despite a compact volume of approximately three liters, the unit does not compromise on connectivity. It features a robust I/O selection, including multiple USB-A (USB-3.2 Gen2) ports, Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C, dual HDMI 2.1, dual DisplayPort 2.1, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4.

Currently, specific pricing details for the Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance remain under wraps. However, the brand has confirmed that the base configuration will start with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Given current component costs—particularly for high-capacity RAM—the fully specced variations are expected to carry a premium price tag. In other recent developments for the sector, Minix has also announced the Neo Z95, a new mini PC targeting a more modest performance tier.
