Used ASUS mini PCs
ASUS took over Intel's NUC systems line under a non-exclusive license agreed in July 2023 and now designs new NUC models itself. The ASUS NUC 14 Pro, announced in March 2024, uses Intel Core Ultra Series 1 (Meteor Lake) processors, and the NUC 14 Pro AI announced in December 2024 moved to Core Ultra Series 2. Separately, ASUS sells its own ExpertCenter PN-series mini PCs, such as the PN53 with AMD Ryzen 6000 and 7000 series processors and dual DDR5 SO-DIMM slots. On a used ASUS NUC, check whether it is an Intel-built unit or an ASUS-built one, since support comes from ASUS either way.
