The short answer
Apple's Studio Display XDR with nano-texture glass is a 27" Mini LED monitor at 5120x2880 and 120 Hz. Its only video input is Thunderbolt 5, so it is for a mini PC owner whose machine has a USB4 or Thunderbolt port and who wants a very sharp desk display.
The monitor's 140 W power delivery will not run the mini PC.
Specifications
The panel is 27" at 5120x2880 and 120 Hz, a Mini LED type with HDR at 2000 nits peak. Video arrives over USB-C through the Thunderbolt 5 input, which also supplies 140 W of USB-C power delivery. It has a daisy chain output and built-in speakers. The nano-texture glass is the variant named in the product, so check that you are buying that one.

Which mini PCs it fits
The rule comes from the monitor's own input: its only video input is Thunderbolt, so the machine needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. The ASUS ROG NUC 16 Edition 20, Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max), BOSGAME M5 and Beelink SER8 fit. The GMKtec NucBox K10, HP Z2 Mini G1i and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 do not fit, because none has a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. For the MINISFORUM AtomMan G1 Pro and MSI MAX Edge AI+, we have not confirmed it fits, because their USB4 ports are not confirmed.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
A machine without a USB4 or Thunderbolt port cannot drive this monitor. There is no VESA mount, so a standard monitor arm is out. Apple does not state the DisplayPort version, HDMI version, built-in KVM switch or HDR certification.
Common questions
Can I connect it to a mini PC with no Thunderbolt port?
No. Its only video input is Thunderbolt, so the machine needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port, and the GMKtec NucBox K10, for example, has no such port.
Does it have an HDMI input?
Its video input is Thunderbolt 5, and Apple does not state an HDMI version, so plan on a Thunderbolt or USB4 connection from your mini PC rather than HDMI.
Can I put it on a monitor arm?
Not a standard one, because it has no VESA mount. It does come with built-in speakers and a daisy chain output.
