ASUS Ascent GX10 (GB10 Grace Blackwell)
$6,449 – $7,999
The cheaper way into NVIDIA's GB10 platform. Same GB10 superchip, 128GB unified memory, 273 GB/s bandwidth, ConnectX-7 200GbE and DGX OS as the DGX Spark — ASUS just puts it in its own stackable chassis with lower-cost SSD tiers that can undercut the NVIDIA Founders Edition. The most widely-shipping GB10 box right now.

Can You Fine-Tune an LLM on a 128GB Mini PC? (And Which Box to Buy in 2026)
LoRA and QLoRA on 20–30B models are practical on 128GB of unified memory; full fine-tunes stop near 12B; dense 70B training doesn't happen on any box in this class. Fine-tuning is the one local-AI workload where the software stack — not memory bandwidth — decides which machine you buy. Here's the capability table, the CUDA tax, and the cloud break-even.
Why Your Local LLM Feels Slow on a Strix Halo Mini PC: The Prefill (Time-to-First-Token) Problem
On a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 box, token generation ties a DGX Spark — but prompt processing (prefill) is ~5× slower (~340 vs ~1,700 tok/s on gpt-oss 120B). On long prompts, that's the delay that makes RAG and coding agents feel sluggish. Here's who it hits, why, and how to fix it.
