During IFA 2024, Asus announced the NUC 14 Pro AI. While the manufacturer didn't elaborate on how much it will cost or when it will hit the market, it did reveal that it will come with a solid 48 TOPS of AI processing power, making it a tiny way to use Copilot+ features anywhere.

Speaking of size, it's tiny at just 1.3 inches, making it truly pocket-sized. And if you've been with XDA for a while, you know we love our mini PCs, so this one is pretty exciting. It will also have built-in speakers and microphones, so you can use AI-enabled voice commands or talk to someone on the phone.

It's very thin and light, measuring 0.67 inches in width and weighing 3.3 pounds. Regardless of which size you prefer, you'll get an OLED screen with up to 32GB of memory and up to 1TB of SSD storage space, so more than enough to get your tasks done. Asus plans to launch it in the fourth quarter of this year.


There's also the Zenbook S 14 and the Vivobook S 14. The Zenbook will cost $1399.99 and will come with an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor and 48 TOPS AI processing power. It will also have a 3K 120 Hz Lumina OLED display to keep everything looking crisp. The Vivobook S 14, on the other hand, has the same hardware as the Zenbook but has a 16:10 OLED display instead. The Zenbook will launch on September 6 and the Vivobook on September 5.
