After introducing the Asus NUC 15 Pro and NUC 15 Pro+ mini PCs with Intel Arrow Lake processors during CES in January, Asus introduced them again with press releases in March and April. But you couldn’t actually buy the little desktop computers at the time. Now you can.
This week Simply NUC announced it was taking pre-orders for fully configured versions of the NUC 15 Pro Cyber Canyon, and that got me wondering if the mini PC was available from other retailers yet, and the answer appears to be yes.
Simply NUC is a small form factor PC company that specializes in NUC and NUC-like systems, and the company offers custom solutions and support… and also charges higher prices than other retailers.
So while Simply NUC charges $789 or more for a NUC 15 Pro with an Intel Core i3 100U Raptor Lake processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, or at least $1129 for the cheapest model with an Intel Core i5 225H Arrow Lake processor, some other stores are offering lower prices… although availability varies from retailer to retailer, and it’s unclear whether prices for US customers will go up in response to the latest tariffs on goods shipped from Taiwan (where Asus is based).
For example the NUC 15 Pro is “temporarily on backorder” at Adorama, but the store’s website shows prices that start at $389 for a barebones Core i3 100U model at Adorama, or $575 for a model with a Core i5 225H chip.
Meanwhile one of the few stores that shows NUC 15 Pro PCs as in stock is Newegg, where you can order one of the following options (although I’d proceed with caution, since they all say they ship from China, which was recently hit with 125% tariffs):
Amazon is also selling a barebones NUC 15 Pro Slim with Core Ultra 7 255H for $700.
For its part, Simply NUC says its version of the NUC 15 Pro Cyber Canyon should begin shipping in the second quarter of 2025 (which means sometime between now and the end of June).
