SKU CH-WQ0H-NNMMN

Compact barebone mini PC with a 15th Gen Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor, 8GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 256GB SSD and Intel Arc graphics for quad 4K output

Configuration 8GB DDR5-5600+256GB SSD

  • AI-ready performance with 99 Platform TOPS for demanding workloads
  • Expandable to 96GB DDR5-6400 memory for heavy multitasking
  • Quad 4K display support via HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4
  • Enterprise connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
  • Rugged .48L tool-less chassis certified to MIL-STD-810H

Compact AI Desktop for Professionals

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro barebone mini PC targets users who need enterprise-grade AI performance in a 0.48L chassis. It ships with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor delivering 99 Platform TOPS and 18% faster speeds for demanding workloads. Pre-installed 8GB DDR5-5600 memory and a 256GB PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD provide a ready starting point for creative and commercial tasks. Buyers who require more than 96GB of RAM or discrete graphics should consider other form factors.

Tool-less Upgrades and Durability

The 0.48L chassis features a tool-less design that simplifies memory and storage upgrades without screws. MIL-STD-810H certification confirms resistance to shock, vibration and temperature extremes for reliable operation. Efficient cooling is engineered into the compact footprint to sustain performance under load. Installers must ensure DDR5 modules do not exceed 6400 MT/s and that NVMe drives match the PCIe Gen5 slot keying to avoid compatibility issues.

Verify Display and Connectivity Needs

Intel Arc Graphics drives up to four 4K displays through HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 ports with DP 2.1/USB4 support. Confirm your monitors accept these interfaces and that cables meet the required specifications for 4K output. Wireless connectivity relies on Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, so existing network infrastructure should support these standards for optimal throughput. Intel vPro features require compatible management software on the network side to function as intended.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Core Ultra 5 225H is delivering its 99 Platform TOPS for AI workloads after setup?

Open Windows Task Manager and watch the NPU utilisation graph while running an AI-enhanced app; sustained activity there shows the 99 TOPS engine is working.

The unit ships with 8 GB DDR5-5600 and a 256 GB drive — what must I add to reach the 96 GB DDR5-6400 maximum?

Purchase two additional DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs for the empty slots; the board supports up to 96 GB total at 6400 MT/s.

Which pre-installed capacity should I choose between the 256 GB drive and a larger PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD for the 225H model?

Keep the 256 GB drive for the OS and add a second PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD in the spare M.2 slot for projects that need faster throughput.
