HowTo Geek ☛ ASUS' Latest NUC Mini PC Is Exceptionally Powerful
ASUS just unveiled the NUC 15 Pro+, an impressively powerful mini PC that could make for a fantastic home media server, small-footprint gaming PC, or AI testbed.
As its name suggests, the NUC 15 Pro+ is essentially just an upgraded version of the standard ASUS NUC 15 Pro. It's in a slightly larger 0.7-liter chassis (up from 0.48 liters), and it comes with some higher-end Core Ultra Series 2 processor configurations, but that's really the extent of the differences. Storage, RAM, I/O, wireless connectivity, and other specs are identical between the two models.
