Display Setup

The two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports each support DisplayPort 2.1, so a Thunderbolt- or USB-C-capable monitor plugs straight in, while a DisplayPort or HDMI monitor needs a Thunderbolt/USB-C to DisplayPort or HDMI cable or dock. The rear HDMI 2.1 port covers a third display without an adapter, giving a comfortable triple-monitor desk setup from one unit.

Networking

A single Intel I226-V 2.5G Ethernet port covers wired networking, backed by Intel Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless. Unlike ASUS's PN-series Mini-PCs, this NUC has one wired LAN port rather than dual LAN — if your deployment needs a resilient second wired connection, the PN-series is the better fit and we can advise on the right model.

Memory and Storage — What Can and Cannot Be Changed

Memory is soldered LPDDR5x and is fixed at 32 GB on this configuration — it cannot be upgraded after purchase. Storage is different: the single M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe slot is user-accessible and the 1 TB drive fitted as standard can be replaced with a larger PCIe Gen4 drive later if needed.

Mounting and Placement

A VESA mounting bracket is included in the box, so the unit can be fixed to the back of a compatible monitor to clear the desk entirely. At 130 x 130 x 34 mm it also sits flat and unobtrusively on a desk or shelf where VESA mounting is not required.

Peripheral Compatibility

The front USB 3.2 Type-A ports and Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port handle everyday peripherals — keyboard, mouse, webcam or an external drive — without reaching behind the unit. The rear Thunderbolt 4 port additionally supports high-bandwidth accessories such as an external SSD enclosure or a Thunderbolt dock for a single-cable desk setup.

In the Box

AC power adapter, power cord, VESA mounting bracket and user documentation. Keyboard, mouse and monitor are not included and are ordered separately.

ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI Family — Ordering Information

SourceIT carries the following ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI configurations. These are referenced here by SKU for comparison only — email sales@sourceit.com.sg quoting the SKU to check stock and lead time.

For a barebone NUC 14 Pro build with no memory, storage or OS fitted, see the ASUS NUC 14 Pro U5 Barebone (RNUC14RVHU500000I) also in our catalogue — a different platform generation and chassis, built for system integrators who fit their own components.

ASUS hosts the official product and specification pages for this model. The links below are ASUS's current product and specification pages for this model family.

For the PDF datasheet, user manual or driver downloads, email sales@sourceit.com.sg quoting RNUC14LNKU9094N3 and we will send you the current files directly.

Is this a complete system or a barebone unit?

Complete system. The RNUC14LNKU9094N3 ships with the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V processor, 32 GB LPDDR5x memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD already fitted, with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled and ready for first sign-in.

Can I add more memory later if I need it?

No. Memory on the NUC 14 Pro AI is soldered LPDDR5x and is fixed at 32 GB on this configuration — it cannot be increased after purchase.

What does the NPU actually do, and where does "up to 120 platform TOPS" come from?

The onboard NPU 4 is rated at 48 TOPS on its own — that is the dedicated AI accelerator figure, well above Microsoft's 40 TOPS Copilot+ PC minimum. Reporting on this specific Core Ultra 9 288V configuration has put the combined CPU + GPU + NPU "platform TOPS" figure at up to 120 TOPS; the 48 TOPS NPU figure is the one to rely on for the dedicated AI accelerator specifically.

How does this differ from the Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 configurations in your catalogue?

All three share the same 130 x 130 x 34 mm chassis, Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 7. This configuration uses the fastest chip in the range, the Core Ultra 9 288V, with the same Arc 140V graphics and 32 GB memory as the Core Ultra 7 configuration — the CPU itself is the difference at the top of the range. Both sit above the entry Core Ultra 5 226V / Arc 130V / 16 GB configuration.

How many monitors can it drive?

Up to three: two via the Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports (each DisplayPort 2.1 capable) and one via the rear HDMI 2.1 port.

Is a dedicated graphics card an option?

No. The NUC 14 Pro AI is built around Intel's integrated Arc graphics only — there is no slot for a discrete GPU. If your workload needs one, this Mini-PC family is not the right fit and we can suggest a small-form-factor tower instead.

How does this compare with the older ASUS NUC 14 Pro U5 Barebone in your catalogue?

They are different products from different NUC generations. This one is a complete system built on the newer Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200V platform with a 48 TOPS NPU, memory and storage already fitted. The NUC 14 Pro U5 Barebone is an earlier Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra platform sold with no memory, storage or OS — intended for system builders who fit their own components.

What does "onsite" warranty mean in practice in Singapore?

An onsite warranty means a qualifying hardware fault is diagnosed and repaired at your premises by an authorised technician, rather than requiring you to ship the unit back to a service centre and wait for a return. SourceIT coordinates the onsite claim on your behalf as part of the local support that comes with every unit we supply.

Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?

Yes. Every ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI RNUC14LNKU9094N3 sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore support and a GST invoice; ASUS backs this model with a 3-year onsite warranty.
