ASUS NUC 14 Pro Tall Barebone Kit Mini PC, Intel Core Ultra 5 135H

The ASUS RNUC14RVHV50000UI is a NUC 14 Pro tall barebone kit that delivers desktop class computing from a chassis that can disappear behind a monitor or slip into a backpack. At its heart sits the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, a processor that brings 14 cores and integrated Intel Arc graphics, ready to accelerate everyday multitasking and light content creation without the bulk of a tower PC.

For memory, the board offers two SO-DIMM slots that accept up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600. Storage is just as flexible. You can drop a fast NVMe SSD into the PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 slot, add a secondary drive in the PCIe 3.0 M.2 2242 slot, and still have room for a 2.5-inch SATA drive to hold large media libraries or backups. This layout makes the kit equally comfortable in a media server, a software development workstation, or a lab PC that needs generous local storage.

Connectivity covers modern peripherals and displays. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports handle high-speed data, external GPUs, or additional monitors. HDMI 2.1 supports a single 4K display at high refresh rates, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 keep external drives and hubs running at full speed. Networking is equally adaptable thanks to integrated Wi-Fi 6E for cable-free setups and 2.5G Ethernet for low-latency wired connections.

Because the kit ships without RAM, storage, or an operating system, system builders can tailor the configuration to exact needs. Populate the slots for a small office workstation, deploy it in a home studio as a silent editing node, or mount it behind a digital signage display where space is at a premium. Whatever the scenario, the compact footprint and scalable performance let you build the system that fits both workload and environment.
