I am a Sr systems engineer. This was to be a replacement for my old Dell desktop. For an i9 Ultra processor with 32GB of ram, it runs slower than the old EOL dell that am replacing. Whether Asus has put together a solid desktop - I would not recommend. It has terrible performance. I will be replacing it again with something other than an Asus model. It’s horrible.

The ASUS NUC 14 is a nice replacement to an HUGE HP Tower desktop that can no longer be supported. This was a Christmas present for my husband - took a few hours to set it up and get through all the patches and updates (as you would expect for a new PC), but it's working, and SO much faster than the old HP! And the size is perfect! It's smaller than an Apple Mac Mini (for comparison)!

mouse and keyboard locks up Bluetooth does the same not happy with performance

I bought the 14 NUC Pro+ (Intel Ultra 9) and the Pro (Intel Ultra 7) to compare them. I’m ultimately returning the Pro+ and going with the Pro because for my purposes (running occasional LLM inference) it is less noisy and performs almost identically.

We use this on a KVM as a general productivity and light development work computer. For our purpose it has been perfect. We use MS Office and Visual Studio code on it without any issues. Very small and quiet. It is very portable. You can have KVM cables ready for it at different stations and then just move it around to where you need it.
