Meet the new ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI mini-PC, which comes equipped with Intel Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) processors with Microsoft Copilot+ PC certification. ASUS announced that it’ll be coming to Malaysia starting mid-February 2025, though pricing is unannounced for now.
ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI
For the new ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI (the ‘AI’ differentiates itself from its predecessor), you have a total of five processor options to choose from, though technically it comes down to three due to Intel Lunar Lake’s unique memory-on-package design that offers two memory capacities for the same silicon.
In any case, options start from Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with 16GB LPDDR5X-8533 RAM, up to Intel Core Ultra 9 288V with 32GB LPDDR5X-8533 RAM (all operates at 30W configurable TDP by default). Connectivity-wise, you get Wi-Fi 7, 2x Thunderbolt 4 (one at the front, one at the back), HDMI, 2.5GbE LAN, headphone jack and 4x USB-A ports.
Intriguingly, there’s a second button on the NUC 14 Pro AI that is apparently just as important as the power button itself: the Copilot button. You know, just so if you need the chatbot to be very accessible (that said, a fingerprint sensor is present as well). The mini-PC also comes with built-in microphones and speakers, which means you can to talk to Copilot directly if that’s what you prefer over typing. The entire 0.57-liter chassis measures 130 x 130 x 34 mm, and weighs 0.53kg.
Pokdepinion: Looks pretty compact.
