ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ Overview

From Manufacturer

With its compact size, the ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ Barebone Kit can fit into a variety of spaces and be customized to enhance your workflow and power AI workloads. Inside the toolless chassis is an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H Series 2 processor with integrated Arc graphics to get you started.

The two DDR5 slots support up to 48GB DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM modules. For storage, you have one M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 slot alongside an M.2 PCIe 4.0 2242 slot. This system also includes built-in Wi-Fi 7 support and a 2.5G Ethernet port for high-speed internet access. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, along with a front-facing USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 and dual USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, allow you to quickly transfer large videos, photos, and other files. This kit is Windows 11 OS ready. A US power cable is included.

Performance
The Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor powers applications with four Performance cores while eight Efficient cores and two Low Power E-cores handle background tasks. The Performance cores have a base speed of 1.7 GHz and can be boosted up to 4.9 GHz. An integrated NPU accelerates AI workloads.
Expansion
There are two dual-channel DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM slots available, supporting up to 48GB each for a total of 96GB. There is also an M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and an M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot.
High-Speed USB

Thunderbolt 4
Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ Reviews

Great Arrow Lake based NUC

By Kamille Bidan
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-01

I bought this to replace an old Hawell based ITX size prebuilt PC from 2015. The connectivity is plentiful although the second m.2 being a 2242 length will probably have most people using an adapter to fit a 2230 length drive in that slot. Barebone kits are a bit of a tough sale given the price of individual components these days, but I've enjoyed using it primarily for living room media consumption and misc task. The HDMI CEC controls of the integrated Arc gpu are great for automatically switching TV inputs and using wake on LAN to remotely start it up. Fan isn't too loud when under load.

Great performance
