Asus NUC 16 Pro mini PC pricing confirmed for Europe, with models up to Core Ultra X9 and Arc B390 graphics
Asus has confirmed European pricing for its new NUC 16 Pro mini PC lineup, giving buyers a clearer look at what to expect from the compact desktop series. The range includes everything from entry-level barebone systems aimed at custom builders to premium ready-to-use configurations with Windows 11 Pro, 1TB SSD storage, and Intel Arc B390 graphics.
The Asus NUC 16 Pro series was first introduced at CES in Las Vegas and is positioned as a compact Copilot+ PC family designed for productivity, business use, creative workloads, and space-saving desktop setups. While the lineup has already started appearing in North America, European availability is currently focused on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The most affordable option is the RNUC16GDKU560002, a barebone model priced at €631. It comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor rated at 45W and Intel Arc graphics, but buyers will need to add their own memory, storage, and operating system.
Moving up the range, Asus offers the RNUC16GDKU760002 at €800. This barebone version features the Core Ultra 7 356H with a higher 65W power rating, making it a stronger choice for users who need more CPU performance while still wanting to configure RAM and storage themselves.
Business users also get vPro-equipped options. The RNUC16GDKV560002 includes a Core Ultra 5 335 vPro processor and is priced at €871. The more powerful RNUC16GDKV760002 steps up to a Core Ultra 7 366H vPro chip and costs €1,038. These models are likely to appeal to companies looking for remote management, security, and enterprise-friendly features in a compact PC.
At the higher end, Asus is offering barebone systems with Intel Arc B390 graphics and onboard LPDDR5 memory. The RNUC16GDKX76C002 comes with a Core Ultra X7 358H, Arc B390 graphics, and 32GB of LPDDR5-5600 memory for €1,674. The RNUC16GDKW96C002 raises the performance ceiling with a Core Ultra X9 378H, Arc B390 graphics, and 32GB of LPDDR5-5600 memory for €1,713.
For buyers who prefer a complete system rather than a barebone kit, Asus also has fully configured NUC 16 Pro models. The RNUC16GDKU5663N2 is priced at €1,525 and includes a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Windows 11 Pro.
The RNUC16GDKU7684N2 costs €1,962 and offers a Core Ultra 7 356H processor, Intel Arc graphics, 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and a 1TB SSD. This configuration should be a stronger fit for multitasking, office workloads, and users who want more storage out of the box.
At the top of the full-system lineup, the RNUC16GDKX76C4N2 combines a Core Ultra X7 358H processor, Intel Arc B390 graphics, 32GB of LPDDR5-5600 memory, a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, and Windows 11 Pro for €2,491. The flagship RNUC16GDKW96C4N2 costs €2,542 and upgrades the processor to the Core Ultra X9 378H while keeping the same 32GB LPDDR5 memory, 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, Arc B390 graphics, and Windows 11 Pro Copilot+ PC setup.
The wide price range shows that Asus is targeting several different audiences with the NUC 16 Pro series. Entry-level barebone models are aimed at users who want control over their own RAM, SSD, and software setup. Meanwhile, the fully configured versions are better suited for buyers who want a compact, powerful, ready-to-run mini PC without additional upgrades.
The inclusion of Intel Arc B390 graphics on the higher-tier models is one of the key selling points of the lineup. Combined with Core Ultra X-series processors and fast LPDDR5 memory, these compact systems should be capable of handling demanding productivity tasks, AI-assisted workloads, media creation, and modern multi-display setups.
Availability outside Europe remains somewhat uneven. The Asus NUC 16 Pro began appearing in North America during late Q1 and early Q2 2026, roughly between April and June, but not every configuration was immediately available. Asus has not provided a single confirmed launch date for the full US or Canadian lineup, although some models have already surfaced through major online retailers.
For European buyers, the new pricing gives a clearer idea of how the NUC 16 Pro family is positioned. With prices starting at €631 for a basic barebone unit and rising to €2,542 for the fully equipped Core Ultra X9 model, Asus is offering one of its most flexible mini PC ranges yet.
