After Intel discontinued NUCs with their thirteenth-generation Core processors, Asus introduced the Asus NUC 14, which uses Core Ultra technology. The device is available in several configurations, including a version with a larger case. It is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1024GB NVMe SSD for storage. The Asus NUC 14 is designed for easy upgrades, allowing users to access and upgrade the memory and storage components as needed. This move marks Asus's entry into a market segment previously dominated by Intel, making it a strong contender in the premium compact PC market. This setup is designed for easy upgrades, with accessible memory and storage components, making it a flexible option for users who want to keep their hardware up to date. Asus's entry marks a significant change in the compact PC market, which was previously dominated by Intel. A notable design change in the Asus NUC 14 Pro is the removal of the analogue audio output port, which was common in earlier NUC models. The case now includes sliding tabs on the bottom, allowing tool-free access to the SSD and RAM, making upgrades more convenient. The Pro and Pro+ models seem to share the same motherboard, as indicated by identical input/output port placements on both versions.
