ASUS has officially unveiled the NUC 14 Pro mini-PCs, which were first showcased at CES 2024.
For those who need a quick reminder or are unaware, the new NUC 14 Pro marks ASUS’s takeover of the NUC division from Intel, now featuring the latest Intel Core Ultra series processors equipped with integrated GPU and NPU for comprehensive edge AI capabilities.
Despite its compact size, it delivers substantial computing power, intelligent WiFi sensing, and the option to incorporate Intel vPro Enterprise for added security, particularly attractive for business users.
Crafted from matte black textured recycled plastic, the chassis boasts a replaceable lid and VESA mounting plate, offering flexibility in placement. Maintenance and upgrades are hassle-free thanks to the toolless design, eliminating the need for screwdrivers.
ASUS also provides a “barebone” board-only alternative for those seeking to upgrade or opt for the complete package at once.

- Intel Core Ultra 7 / Ultra 5, or Intel Core 3 with optional Intel vPro Enterprise
