ASUS NUC 16 Pro Prices Start at €631, Flagship Model Costs €2,542

ASUS has published official European prices for the NUC 16 Pro mini PC family. The new Panther Lake lineup starts at €631 for the entry-level barebone version and reaches €2,542 for the highest-end prebuilt model. The first prices cover Germany and Austria, with VAT already included.

The NUC 16 Pro is built around Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and comes in both barebone and fully configured versions. Entry models let buyers install their own memory, storage, and operating system, while higher-end versions arrive ready for use with Windows 11 Pro already installed.

The least expensive model, RNUC16GDKU560002, costs €631 and comes with the Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor. Since it is sold as a barebone PC, memory, SSD storage, and Windows must be added separately. Buyers stepping up to the Core Ultra 7 356H version will pay €800, while business editions with Intel vPro are priced at €871 for the Core Ultra 5 335 vPro and €1,038 for the Core Ultra 7 366H vPro.

Pricing increases considerably with the Core Ultra X7 358H and Core Ultra X9 378H models. The X7 version is listed at €1,674, while the X9 reaches €1,713. Both come with Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics and 32GB of soldered LPDDR5 memory, but buyers still need to install an SSD and operating system before these barebone versions are ready to use.

The soldered LPDDR5 memory on the Core Ultra X7 and Core Ultra X9 models cannot be replaced or upgraded later. Buyers choosing these versions will need to decide on memory capacity at the time of purchase, unlike the lower-priced models that rely on standard upgradeable DDR5 memory.

ASUS will sell complete versions for customers who want a ready-to-use mini PC. The entry configuration starts at €1,525 with a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, a 512GB PCIe Gen4 SSD, and Windows 11 Pro. The Core Ultra 7 356H model increases the price to €1,962 and upgrades the memory to 32GB together with a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD.

The most expensive configurations sit above the €2,400 mark. The Core Ultra X7 358H version costs €2,491, while the Core Ultra X9 378H reaches €2,542. Both come with Intel Arc B390 graphics, 32GB LPDDR5 memory, a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, and Windows 11 Pro. These are the highest-priced models in the NUC 16 Pro family.

The published prices place the NUC 16 Pro above many compact desktop PCs, especially the Core Ultra X7 and Core Ultra X9 versions. Buyers choosing barebone models should factor in the additional cost of storage, and on entry-level versions, memory and an operating system as well. The fully configured editions remove those extra steps but carry a much higher purchase price.

For now, ASUS has confirmed pricing only for Germany and Austria. The company has not announced prices or availability for other European countries or additional markets.
