Intel NUC 13 Pro (Arena Canyon, 2023)

A business-class mini PC roughly the size of a paperback, the NUC 13 Pro packs surprisingly rich I/O for its volume: two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports (each also carrying DisplayPort 1.4a) and two HDMI 2.1 ports, so it can drive up to four displays at once. Wired networking is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. Four USB-A ports — three at 10 Gb/s and one at USB 2.0 speed — plus a front headset jack round it out. It ships with an external power brick, so there's no mains inlet on the chassis.

Intel’s business mini PC with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, dual HDMI 2.1, four USB-A ports, and 2.5GbE — driving up to four displays.

Notes & Compatibility

Tall (NUC13ANHi7) configuration. Both Thunderbolt 4 ports carry DisplayPort 1.4a; combined with the two HDMI 2.1 ports the NUC can drive up to four 4K displays. Powered by an external DC power brick — no IEC inlet on the chassis (not modeled). Intel handed the NUC line to ASUS in 2023, so current specs, BIOS and drivers live on ASUS’s site. ASUS lists a Kensington lock slot on the front (not modeled). The DC brick is 120W on i5/i7 models and 90W on i3.
