Asus releases compact desktop PC in more countries with Snapdragon X2 Elite, 2.5 GbE and 32 GB RAM
A few months have passed since Asus unveiled its first Snapdragon X2-based mini-PC. For context, the Ascent QN10 was initially presented during Computex 2026 in June alongside the ProArt GR1X. While the former has since been released in Asia and the US, Asus has only committed to launching the ProArt GR1X before the end of 2026.
In the meantime, Asus has announced that the Ascent QN10 is now available in the Eurozone. To recap, the Ascent QN10 comes exclusively with the Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E-88-100). A 3 nm chipset, the Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E-88-100) boasts 18 CPU cores and the Adreno X2-90 iGPU. Moreover, Asus complements Qualcomm's chipset with 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of PCIe 4.0 storage.
Furthermore, Asus includes three USB 4 ports, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and three USB Type-A ports. Nonetheless, all this hardware fits inside a 0.7-litre case that measures 130 x 130 x 39.96 mm. Officially, the Ascent QN10 retails for €2,195 (~$2,465). However, the mini-PC typically varies between €2,077 and €2,208 from third-party retailers.
At the time of publication, ARLT Computer is the cheapest of the lot at €1,994 (~$2,239). By contrast, the Ascent QN10 can currently be purchased in the US for $1,699 with 32 GB of RAM. Please see Asus' website for more details.
