ASUS Announces NUC 14 Pro+

TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 8, 2024 — ASUS today announced the ASUS NUC 14 Pro+, an ultra-compact PC that delivers best-in-class performance powered by the power of the new Intel® Core™ i7 processor.^® Heart^™ Ultra-fast processor, which gives it the ability to run generative AI workloads locally. The machine’s robust computing capabilities are further enhanced by Bluetooth certification^® Dongle-free connectivity, energy-efficient WiFi detection, and three AI engines (GPU, NPU, and CPU) that enable high throughput, low power consumption, and fast response. The eye-catching 5 x 4-inch anodized aluminum chassis is perfect for corporate or home office environments, and it offers tool-free access for quick, safe, and easy upgrades.

Style meets AI-driven performance

Available with Intel Core Ultra 9, 7 or 5 processors, the Intel Arc^™ Featuring a GPU for enhanced graphics and Intel AI Boost (NPU) technology, ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ meets most computing needs and combines style and performance. Together, its three AI engines (GPU, NPU, and CPU) enable higher throughput, lower power consumption, and faster response to generative AI workloads running locally. Intel Core Ultra processors are Intel’s most energy-efficient client processors to date.

Compared to its predecessor, the NUC 13 Pro mini PC, the ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ delivers significantly improved AI processing performance, delivering unmatched stability and up to 35% faster local computing, especially noticeable in tasks such as generating text-to-image using stable streaming software.

Ready for any task

Based on customer feedback, ASUS has equipped the ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ with a premium 5 x 4-inch anodized aluminum chassis, slightly larger than its predecessor. This sleek and compact chassis weighing less than a liter takes up minimal space on a desk or workstation, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, remote workers, and retail or educational institutions. The included VESA mounting plate and tool-free chassis for easy upgrades give the ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ the versatility to adapt to a variety of scenarios. Additionally, each unit includes a three-year limited warranty, demonstrating ASUS’ commitment to reliability.

4K Quad Display Support

The ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ can support up to four 4K monitors through a combination of two HDMI ports^® ports, DisplayPort^™ 1.4, two Thunderbolt^™ 4 ports and an additional configurable port (if HDMI option is selected). This makes the NUC 14 Pro+ perfect for multi-monitor setups in home studios or offices, or for expanding workspaces in AI-driven environments.

Certified Bluetooth Experiences

ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ ensures guaranteed connection with certified Bluetooth devices, including headsets and speakers, hearing aids, mice and keyboards. This enables excellent experiences right out of the box with a certified Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, allowing users to have a wireless and clutter-free workspace right from the start. Certified Bluetooth also ensures superior sound quality without the need for a dongle and can stream to up to four Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

Energy-efficient Wi-Fi detection

When the user and computer remain inactive for 30 seconds and no movement is detected within 1.5 to 2 meters, the NUC 14 Pro+ intelligently recognizes that the user has been away for a short period of time. It then automatically enters hibernation mode to save power.

Innovative cooling design

The new 6mm triple heat pipe features a double-sided heat exchanger and optimized airflow guidance. Its innovative design ensures stable performance and prevents overheating during compute-intensive AI workloads, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
