<h3>Features & Design</h3>

<h3>Faster, Smarter Computing for AI-Driven Business</h3>

<p>The ASUS NUC 16 Pro combines powerful Intel Core Ultra processing with the compact and versatile ASUS NUC form factor. Designed for modern professional environments, it provides a flexible platform for productivity, AI-assisted applications, edge computing, digital signage and other commercial deployments.</p>

<p>This configuration features the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor, providing the CPU, graphics and neural-processing capabilities required for demanding modern workloads.</p>

<h3>Intel Core Ultra 7 356H Performance</h3>

<p>The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H provides a high-performance foundation for demanding business applications and intelligent workloads. ASUS supports the processor with a configurable TDP of up to 65W in the NUC 16 Pro platform.</p>

<p>Its hybrid processing architecture is designed to balance performance and efficiency across productivity, multitasking, content creation and AI-assisted workloads.</p>

<h3>AI-Ready Processing</h3>

<p>Intel Core Ultra architecture combines CPU, graphics and dedicated neural-processing capabilities within a single platform. The integrated Intel AI Boost NPU can accelerate supported AI workloads locally, reducing dependence on cloud processing for compatible applications.</p>

<p>This makes the ASUS NUC 16 Pro well suited to AI-enhanced productivity, analytics, digital assistants, intelligent commercial applications and edge-processing deployments.</p>

<h3>ASUS AI SuperBuild</h3>

<p>The ASUS NUC 16 Pro platform supports ASUS AI SuperBuild, providing organisations with tools for deploying and working with customised AI models locally.</p>

<p>Local AI processing can help keep sensitive information on the device while providing responsive access to intelligent workloads without relying entirely on external cloud infrastructure.</p>

<h3>Barebone Flexibility</h3>

<p>This ASUS NUC 16 Pro is supplied as a barebone system, allowing memory, storage and the operating system to be selected according to the requirements of the deployment.</p>

<p>Memory and storage are not installed at shipment. The platform supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory and provides high-speed M.2 NVMe storage expansion for compatible SSDs.</p>

<p>No operating system is preinstalled, allowing the system to be configured with a supported Windows or Linux operating environment.</p>

<h3>High-Speed NVMe Storage Expansion</h3>

<p>The NUC 16 Pro provides flexible M.2 NVMe SSD expansion, including support for PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 storage on compatible configurations.</p>

<p>This provides the flexibility to configure high-speed local storage for operating systems, applications, large datasets and other workloads that benefit from rapid data access.</p>

<h3>Tool-less Chassis 2.0</h3>

<p>ASUS Tool-less Chassis 2.0 is designed to simplify system access for installation, upgrades and maintenance. This is particularly useful with a barebone system where memory and storage need to be installed during initial setup.</p>

<p>The chassis combines this serviceability with the compact dimensions expected from the ASUS NUC platform, helping reduce the amount of space required in desktop and embedded installations.</p>

<h3>Compact 5 x 4 Design</h3>

<p>The ASUS NUC 16 Pro delivers substantial computing and connectivity capabilities in a compact chassis measuring approximately 144 mm x 117 mm x 42 mm.</p>

<p>Its small footprint makes it suitable for desks, kiosks, digital signage installations, control rooms, retail environments and other locations where installation space is limited.</p>

<h3>Next-Generation Wi-Fi 7</h3>

<p>Intel Wi-Fi 7 provides fast wireless connectivity designed for modern high-bandwidth and low-latency networks. The system also supports Bluetooth 6.0 for compatible wireless keyboards, mice, headsets and other peripherals.</p>

<h3>Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet</h3>

<p>Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connections provide high-speed wired networking for professional and commercial deployments.</p>

<p>Two LAN interfaces provide additional flexibility for network redundancy, separate network segments, edge-computing installations and environments that require simultaneous connections to different networks.</p>

<h3>Extensive Multi-Display Support</h3>

<p>The ASUS NUC 16 Pro provides extensive display connectivity through two HDMI 2.1 outputs and two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 support.</p>

<p>This flexible selection of display outputs makes the system suitable for multi-monitor productivity environments, digital signage, control-room applications and other display-intensive deployments.</p>

<h3>Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity</h3>

<p>Two rear Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports provide high-speed connectivity for compatible displays, storage devices, docks and professional peripherals while also supporting DisplayPort 2.1 video output.</p>

<p>Additional USB Type-A and Type-C ports provide convenient connectivity for everyday peripherals and external devices.</p>

<h3>Designed for Professional Security</h3>

<p>Firmware TPM 2.0 provides hardware-backed security functionality for supported operating systems and business applications.</p>

<p>Combined with the security and management capabilities of the Intel Core Ultra platform, the NUC 16 Pro is designed to meet the requirements of modern professional and managed computing environments.</p>

<h3>Built for Business Deployment</h3>

<p>The compact ASUS NUC platform is suited to a wide variety of professional deployments, including offices, point-of-sale installations, digital signage, kiosks, edge-computing systems and AI-enabled commercial applications.</p>

<p>Its combination of compact dimensions, high-speed networking, modern Intel processing and extensive connectivity provides flexibility for both conventional business computing and specialised installations.</p>
