is Asus' most advanced Mini PC in terms of AI, equipping the new Intel Lunar Lake architecture with the U9 288V

POWERFUL MINI PC MEETING COPILOT+ PC REQUIREMENTS, READY FOR THE ERA OF AI APPLICATIONS UTILIZING A POWERFUL NPU.

In terms of connections and other connectivity, I have little to complain about with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and Wi-Fi 7, among others

NUC 14 Pro AI: the most balanced choice for those who want a truly “no regrets” mini PC. The Pro AI lasts for years, you upgrade it yourself, you save on your power bill. NUC 14 Pro AI+: Want to set the scene, customise every workstation, bring branding to the desktop too? This is the solution. NUC 14 Essential: if budget is the priority, if you manage volume, if you just want “something that works and lasts”, this is the choice every IT manager will love.

Asus NUC 14 Pro is therefore a very powerful and versatile workmate, effectively combining minimal dimensions with excellent performance, ideal for multiple uses

This mini PC presents as a good solution for office tasks, even with several heavy-duty applications. The performance is adequate, and the orientation towards new technologies is a distinguishing feature of this device

I admit that before trying the ASUS NUC 14 PRO AI, I was rather sceptical about its performance, probably influenced by past experiences with other mini-PCs that were not particularly impressive. However, I had to change my mind: the level of performance offered by this NUC genuinely surprised me, and the combination of NUC and ZenScreen Duo opens up further usage scenarioses.

The Asus NUC Pro 14 AI is a great computer. Personally, I would prefer it to be a little bigger and a little quieter under load, but otherwise it works as it should.

Applications that can utilize the capabilities of a powerful NPU are currently scarce, but they will increase, and I assume the growth will be steep, if not exponential. It is important to have a computer that will be ready for these applications with ever-increasing capabilities.

a well-rounded mini PC that balances performance, AI capabilities, and connectivity in a compact form factor
