ASUS NUC 14 Pro Tall Barebone Kit, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H

The ASUS RNUC14RVHU70000UI is a tall barebone kit that lets you build a small desktop with the kind of muscle usually reserved for full-size towers. It arrives with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor already installed, so you start with sixteen physical cores that can boost up to 4.8 GHz. Whether you are compiling code, editing photos, or juggling dozens of browser tabs, the platform delivers the speed you need without taking over your desk.

You choose the memory and storage, so the build can grow alongside your workload. Two SODIMM slots accept up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, which is plenty for virtual machines, data analysis, or creative suites. For files, projects, and backups, the board includes two M.2 slots that support PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 drives, plus a bay for a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or hard drive. This mix makes it easy to balance blazing NVMe performance with high-capacity archival space.

Connectivity rivals many full desktops. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports handle ultra-fast external drives or a single-cable dock, while USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 adds another 20 Gbps link for modern accessories. Two HDMI 2.1 outputs let you run a pair of high-resolution monitors with smooth refresh rates. Network options include 2.5 Gb Ethernet for wired stability and Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 when you prefer to stay cable-free.

The chassis opens without tools, so adding RAM, swapping drives, or cleaning dust is quick and painless. It is fully prepared for Windows 11, and a US power cable is already in the box. Just install your chosen memory, storage, and operating system, and you have a compact workstation for a home office, a reliable productivity hub for a small business, or a media server that can sit quietly in a living room.
