Small form Factor, Full RGB Control, VR capable, 3 Year Warranty, Lightweight (4kg!)
It can get loud under heavy extended load, You could build a more powerful system for the same money, It can really only stand vertically
You can stand the ASUS GR8 II vertically but there are no feet on the side of the machine to lay it down horizontally. We spoke with ASUS and they state that vertically is the way to use the system. This is a shame as most console makers are aware of the...

Compact and sleek design, Powerful 4 core/8 thread Core i7-7700 processor, GeForce GTX 1060, Aura Sync and SupremeFX audio, Built-in AC wifi, VR-ready
Nothing I can think of really, Could improve on the graphics card department,
If you're after a feature-packed mini gaming PC that's pre-built, and comes with all the bells and whistles of a ROG branded product, then you might want to consider the ROG GR8 II. It has everything you'll need to start playing the latest games… anytime...
Reasonably priced for the specs, Compact form factor with a unique look, Console-like dimensions, Ample storage, VR-ready
Graphics are not upgradable, Fans get loud under load, Limited to a 3GB, not 6GB, GTX 1060 graphics card, No horizontal mounting option
Part game console, part compact PC, the GR8 II straddles both worlds, with snappy performance for 1080p gaming and everyday work. It's better than the 2015 original, but upgrade limits and fan noise push this sequel closer to "very good" than to "GR8." R...

Decent hardware and performance for the price. Well suited to 1080p gaming at very high quality presets. Small chassis is only marginally larger than modern
Neither the CPU nor GPU are upgradeable. Loud under load. Ugly design with way too much ‘gamer style'

Fast enough for 1080p, Stylish design,
No Thunderbolt 3, Bad upgrade options, Comparatively expensive
Compared with the ASUS ROG GR8 II system tested today, the first Steam Machine or console PCs from ASUS and other vendors, such as Alienware, seem rather slow. If in the first versions of ROG GR8 ASUS installed a processor class ultrabukov generation Hasw...
