We test three new NUCs, the ASUS NUC 13 Rugged Short, the ASUS ROG NUC, and the ASUS NUC 14 Pro as a first set after ASUS acquired Intel's NUC business in 2023. One of these surprised me.

Thank you to the sponsors of this video: STH YouTube Members for getting components to install and upgrade these. Also, ASUS for sending the units since it is a bit tough for us to support buying three units for one video. Of course, nobody gets to review these videos outside of our team before they are published as we do everything editorially independently. We also have affiliate links as part of various affiliate programs.
