ASUS announces the NUC 14 Pro AI at CES 2025
ASUS' latest NUC is powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2).
ASUS has already revealed a wide range of devices at CES 2025, though one that may have flown under the radar for many is the new ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI.
The NUC 14 Pro AI is a mini-PC featuring Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) integrated with Microsoft Copilot+. Essentially, this promises to deliver an AI-enhanced desktop productivity experience, all in an incredibly compact package.
Aside from its powerful processor with a dedicated NPU, the NUC 14 Pro AI also promises great connectivity even with its slim form factor. To be exact, the mini-PC features Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. It should also be a reliable partner for 24/8 operation thanks to its advanced thermal management. Plus, it should be a secure desktop option with features such as Secure Boot, Trusted Platform Module (TPM), and fingerprint recognition.
