Asus NUC 13 Rugged, previously known as the Intel NUC 13 Rugged, has been officially launched as an Asus product.

This transition follows Intel‘s decision to close its NUC division, with Asus taking over the development and distribution of NUC-branded computers under a non-exclusive license. This development indicates the possibility of other companies potentially offering NUC systems in the future.

Asus NUC 13 Rugged Specifications:

Asus‘s NUC 13 Rugged is a compact, fanless, and dustproof mini PC designed to withstand harsh environments. It operates in external ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for challenging settings. The PC is powered by Intel Alder Lake-N processors, including options like the Intel Processor N50, Atom x7211E, and Atom x7425E.

The NUC 13 Rugged is available in two sizes: a short model with a 6-watt Intel N50 processor and a taller version designed for processors up to 12 watts (Atom x7211E and Atom x7425E). The taller version has passive cooling fins on top, whereas the shorter model does not include these fins.

The device supports up to 16GB of DDR5 memory and offers versatile storage options. It includes an M.2 2280 slot for a PCIe x2 NVMe SSD and an M.2 3042 slot for additional SSDs or other uses. The system also offers optional 64GB eMMC storage.

For connectivity, it features dual 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports and an Intel AX210 wireless card supporting WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, along with support for up to two 4K displays and optional external antennas. The array of ports includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, two USB 2.0 Type-A, two HDMI 2.1, two RJ45, and a DC power input, all conveniently located on the same side as the power button.

Currently, pricing and availability details have not been announced, but corporate customers can request a quote through Asus’s product page.

A few days back, Asus also unveiled their latest ZenBook 14 OLED laptop, featuring a 14-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Intel Core Ultra processors, up to 32GB of RAM, and a starting price of $1,299.
