For our latest ASUS NUC options, we pulled out all the stops to ensure that integration and maintenance are fast and hassle-free processes. All our new NUCs make it easy to access internal components, but the slim variant of the ASUS NUC 14 Pro is a standout in this regard. It’s the world’s first sub-0.5L toolless chassis, a design that reduces integration time for systems integrators by up to 6 times. Whether you’re installing hardware in a fresh unit, upgrading systems down the road, or performing routine maintenance, the NUC 14 Pro makes it all easy.

ASUS NUCs with vPro Enterprise cater to the needs of businesses

The ASUS NUC 14 Pro gives a wide range of configuration options starting with budget-friendly Intel Core 3 CPUs and ranging all the way up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU. These chips are built on the legendary performance of Intel’s Core series of CPUs, but sheer horsepower is just one part of their story. For smooth fleet management, these laptops are designed on the Intel vPro Enterprise platform and include a collection of validated and integrated components that go beyond the CPU. Rigorous testing helps ensure a stable foundation that your enterprise needs for hassle-free fleet management.

The higher-end Intel Core Ultra CPUs go even further with targeted optimizations for hundreds of AI apps and tools. Access to AI can accelerate creativity, analysis, and collaboration, making your employees more productive than ever. You’ll even have access to AI-powered threat detection for even more peace of mind about the security of your data and devices.

Great experiences with wireless peripherals

Many users prefer the clutter-free convenience of wireless Bluetooth keyboards, mice, headsets, and other peripherals. Some competing Mini PCs only offer this functionality through a Bluetooth dongle. If you’d rather not tie up one of the PC’s USB ports with a dongle, or deal with the frustration of lost dongles, choose an ASUS NUC instead. Our latest models offer dongle-free Bluetooth to simplify pairing, enhance audio quality, and improve control in video conferencing.
