The ASUS NUC 14 Pro + offers a compelling blend of performance and design improvements over its predecessors. The inclusion of modern interface ports, such as Thunerblot 4 Type-C, enhances connectivity options, although the absence of a DisplayPort may be a limitation for some users. Accessing firmware updates via the support site can be cumbersome. The device tends to run hot under full processor load .

The ASUS NUC 14 PRO PLUS performs really well for its size, even punching above some desktop's performance based on the CPU performance alone in work related tasks. Graphics wise, the NUC can handle even demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 with certain compromises. As an AI Ready PC, the Intel Core Ultra 9 comes with dual core NPU processor that when used on certain tasks that utilize NPUs will be able to perform AI Tasks at a much more efficient (energy wise) performance all at a compact size.
