This is now the best value of any Mac in Apple’s lineup.
in the U.S we have the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), passed in 1990, requires museums and federal agencies to return Native American human remains and cultural items to their tribes. It’s all about respecting Indigenous heritage by ensuring that these items are returned to their rightful communities.
The smaller mini loses some ports but gets tons of other functional updates.

The unconventional design is dubbed "Magic Computer" by its Chinese manufacturer CWWK.
Chinese PC manufacturer CWWK has released an interesting Mini PC design that mainly seems to be composed of an elevated heatsink and a sideways, open PCIe x8 slot. The CWWK Mini PC, spotted by Liliputing, is dubbed the "Magic PC" by its maker and has garnered attention for its unique design.
Of note before proceeding is that the gap created by the stand at the bottom is the only protection provided for the motherboard beneath the heatsink, and of course, any PCIe extensions will also need to live in the open air. You'll want to take some precautions with your setup and environment if you plan on running just about anything this way. Liliputing recommends the usage of some kind of stand beneath any expansion cards you mount to this thing, and we agree with that assessment.
That said, the device certainly looks pretty unique and could end up turning out to be a fun pet project. It comes in Green, Black, and Blue color variations. You can also choose to buy it in a "barebones" configuration with just the chassis, motherboard, and CPU, if you have your own compatible RAM/storage/etc to use with it.
Additionally, you have three Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs to pick from (relevant AliExpress listings linked below):
RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU... Intel N100 CPU — Starts at $214 for a barebones kit. The N100 is a 4-core, 4-thread 12th Gen CPU with a TDP of 6 Watts and a max clock of 3.4 GHz. Intel N200 CPU — Starts at $261 for a barebones kit. The N200 is a 4-core, 4-thread 12th Gen CPU with a TDP of 6 Watts and a max clock of 3.7 GHz. Intel Core i3-N305 CPU — Starts at $320 for a barebones kit. The Core i3-N305 is an 8-core, 8-thread 12th Gen CPU with a TDP of 15 Watts and a max clock of 3.8 GHz. As far as other specs go, the CWWK Magic Computer can be outfitted with up to 2TB SSD storage and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM. The maximum RAM speed supported by any of the CPUs listed above is 4,800 MT/s, though the board itself apparently supports up to 5,600 MT/s.
If a mini PC design like this interests you, we recommend checking out the original listing. Beyond the details we've discussed here, there are some nifty graphics included showing different ways to use the PCIe slot, as well as an optional fan attachment for those who don't trust passive cooling like that.
Before you get too ambitious with this one, though, be mindful that that PCIe slot everyone's been talking about is only a PCIe Gen 3 x8 slot... restricted to x4 bandwidth. If you want to go mad with power and plug a GPU into this one, be sure that it's still a low-power design that can function on x8. Just as a general rule of thumb, don't expect to play anything above 60 FPS on this, regardless of the attached GPU— the bandwidth limitations are simply too severe for most modern cards to enable high frame rates.
Asus ROG NUC is a compact gaming desktop with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 and NVIDIA RTX 4070
Asus makes gaming PCs. And Asus makes mini PCs. And now that the company has largely taken over Intel’s NUC line of compact computers, it’s bringing those two things together with the launch of the first ROG NUC compact gaming desktop.
The little computer has a 2.5 liter chassis that houses up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Meteor Lake processor, up NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics, and enough cooling power to allow those components to consume more power than they would in a laptop for better sustained performance.
For example the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and Core Ultra 9 185H processors that are available in this little computer are designed to be 45-watt chips made for laptops and mini PCs. But Asus says they can run at up to 65 watts in the ROG NUC. And the company uses 115-watt NVIDIA GPUs for the little computer, but allows them to run at up to 140 watts.
The ROG NUC measures 270 x 180 x 50mm (10.6″ x 7.1″ x 2″), and features RGB lighting, because… gaming. But it also has a more console-like design than a typical business-professional 4×4 NUC system, but it’s got a reasonably flexible design: you can lay it down horizontally or prop it up vertically with the help of a stand.

This is one of those super sensitive recipes. Even heavy footsteps can stop them from rising. If you find a flour alternative let me know.
Usually, my go to is butter or fruit jam, honestly the whip cream sound better. My daughter adds maple syrup.
What was I thinking. They look like spongy, dough bread, eggy brains on the inside. Next time I'll post a picture after slicing into one.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients: 4 large eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
-Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes. -Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges. -With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in. -Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter. -Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full. -Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
*Do not top off the cups! ONE POUR to 3/4 full. Topping off can prevent a full rise.
- If you can help it DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN!
Serve immediately and enjoy them warm!
