ASUS NUC 14 Essential Intel Processor N250 Mini PC Barebone, Black

The ASUS NUC 14 Essential N250 Mini PC Barebone, Black is a compact desktop suited to office, home-office, education and digital-signage tasks. Its Intel processor has four cores and four threads, running at 2.1 GHz with boost speeds up to 3.8 GHz. Integrated Intel Graphics handles display output without a separate graphics card. No RAM, storage or operating system is installed, so these must be supplied before use. This barebone configuration lets the owner choose those components for the intended workload rather than rely on a preconfigured setup.

The single SO-DIMM slot supports up to 16 GB of DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz. A 0.56-litre chassis keeps the system compact where desk space is limited, and VESA-mount compatibility provides another placement option for space-constrained work areas. Support for up to three 4K displays suits setups that need several screens for applications or signage. The video connections include one HDMI port and one DisplayPort, while a 3.5 mm headphone output provides a wired audio connection.
