ASUS NUC 14 Essential N97 Mini PC Barebone, Black

The ASUS NUC 14 Essential is a barebone kit that serves as a compact foundation for building a customized mini PC. It is centered around the Intel N97 processor, which is designed for efficient performance in everyday computing and multitasking. This kit allows users to select and install their own memory, storage, and operating system to precisely meet their requirements. The ultra-small chassis is well-suited for environments with limited space, such as home offices, educational settings, or for use in digital signage applications where a small footprint is critical.

The system's motherboard accommodates a single DDR5 SO-DIMM module up to 16 GB and offers storage flexibility through M.2 slots for NVMe PCIe and SATA drives. Visuals are handled by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics built into the N97 processor, capable of driving multiple displays. For connectivity, the device is equipped with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port for versatile network access. The I/O panel provides HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, alongside multiple USB ports for connecting peripherals.
