Specifications

  • Brand: ASUS
  • Model Name: NUC
  • Year: 2023

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro (codename Arena Canyon) is a 4 × 4-inch business-class mini PC that first launched in March 2023 and was later produced and supported by ASUS, which expanded the lineup with new processor options in 2024. Packed into a footprint smaller than a paperback book, it runs 13th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors, holds up to 64GB of DDR4 memory, and drives up to four 4K monitors through dual HDMI 2.1 and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports. It was sold three ways (as a Slim or Tall chassis, and as a bare kit or a ready-to-use Mini PC with Windows 11), and owners often add their own memory and storage, so the parts inside your unit decide what it's worth. If you're wondering what to do with a NUC you no longer use, Gadget Salvation will buy it for cash. Pick your processor, memory, storage, and condition in our quote tool above to see an instant offer, with free insured shipping included.

Identify your exact NUC 13 Pro model

Every NUC 13 Pro has a sticker on the bottom panel that lists its exact model number (for example, NUC13ANKi7), along with the serial number and manufacture date. The letters in the model number tell you everything you need for an accurate quote:

  • About 1.5" tall (117 × 112 × 37 mm)
  • Model numbers start with NUC13ANK (regulatory model NUC13ANK)
  • M.2 SSD storage only; no 2.5-inch drive bay
  • Also used for all factory-built Mini PCs sold with Windows 11 Pro in the US

Tall chassis — "H" models

  • About 2.2" tall (117 × 112 × 54 mm)
  • Model numbers start with NUC13ANH (regulatory model NUC13ANH)
  • Adds a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay under the lid

Display & audio

Display output

No built-in screen, so you connect your own monitors. Two HDMI 2.1 ports (with CEC TV control) and two Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort 1.4a output support up to four 4K displays at 60Hz, or a single 8K display. HDR and HDCP 2.3 are supported. A built-in display emulation feature keeps the NUC running correctly as a headless or digital signage player even with no monitor attached.

Audio

One front 3.5mm stereo headset jack, plus up to 7.1-channel digital audio passed through HDMI and Thunderbolt/DisplayPort to a TV, receiver, or monitor. There are no built-in speakers or microphone.

Ports & connectivity

Most cables plug into the back, leaving just two fast USB ports and a headset jack on the front for everyday use.

Rear
  • 2× Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 Type-C (40Gbps, DisplayPort 1.4a video, 15W device power; no USB-C charging input)
  • 2× HDMI 2.1

Power, build & more

Power adapter

External power brick: 120W (20V) for Core i5 and i7 models, 90W (19V) for Core i3 models. There is no internal battery; the NUC runs only when plugged in. Including the original adapter with your trade-in avoids a deduction.

Chassis & mounting

4 × 4-inch footprint in black, in Slim (≈ 4.6" × 4.4" × 1.5") or Tall (≈ 4.6" × 4.4" × 2.2") heights. The Slim model weighs about 1.1 lb. Kits and Mini PCs include a VESA mounting plate so the NUC can hang on the back of a monitor or under a desk. The lid is removable with captive screws for easy upgrades.

Cooling

Single blower fan over a copper heatsink, built to keep the 13th Gen processor at full speed in a tiny box. Every NUC 13 Pro is qualified for 24/7 operation, which is why so many are used as office PCs, home servers, and digital signage players.

Business & security features

The v5 and v7 models add Intel vPro Enterprise remote management and a discrete TPM 2.0 chip. All models support firmware TPM, Windows 11, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu.

Operating system

Factory Mini PCs shipped with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. Kits shipped without an operating system, so the software on your unit depends on how it was set up.

Warranty

Originally covered by a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty. Remaining warranty is not required to sell your NUC to us.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find my exact ASUS NUC 13 Pro model and specs?
Turn the NUC over and look for the white label on the bottom. It shows the model number, such as NUC13ANKi5 or NUC13ANHv7. A "K" after "NUC13AN" means the Slim chassis, an "H" means the Tall chassis, and the last two characters show the processor (i3, i5, v5, i7, v7, H5, or H7). If the label is missing or worn, start the computer, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The "System Model" line shows the model number and the "Processor" line shows the exact chip. To see your memory and storage, open Settings → System → About for installed RAM, and Settings → System → Storage for your drive size. Since many owners upgrade these parts, always enter what's installed now, not what's printed on the original box. Our model finder guide has more help.
02 My NUC looks identical to this one. How can I be sure it's a NUC 13 Pro?
Good question, because the outside case alone won't tell you. The previous-generation NUC 12 Pro uses the exact same black Slim and Tall cases with the same port layout, but its model numbers start with NUC12WS and it runs 12th Gen processors (such as the Core i7-1260P). The white or silver aluminum NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition carries NUC13VY model numbers and has no VESA mount. The newer NUC 14 Pro starts with NUC14RV and uses Intel Core Ultra processors with DDR5 memory. If your label reads NUC13AN and msinfo32 lists one of the 13th Gen processors above (i3-1315U, i5-1340P, i5-1350P, i7-1360P, i7-1370P, i5-13420H, or i7-13620H), you're on the right page. If not, use the search bar at the top of our site to find your model's own quote page.
03 Can I sell a NUC 13 Pro that's damaged, upgraded, or missing parts?
Yes. We buy NUCs in working and non-working condition, including units with a noisy or failed fan, dead ports, scratches, cracked cases, or units that won't power on. Upgraded units are welcome too: just select the memory and storage that are installed now in our quote tool. If your NUC is a bare kit with the RAM or SSD removed, choose the options that match what's inside, and we'll quote it accordingly. Please include the original power adapter if you still have it, since a missing charger lowers the offer. Selling several NUCs from an office or signage rollout? See our bulk selling and corporate buyback programs.
04 What makes my ASUS NUC 13 Pro worth more, and where can I sell it online?
Many people don't realize that a used mini PC can still be worth good money, and that they can sell it online without dealing with marketplace listings, strangers, or haggling. The processor matters most: Core i7-1370P (v7) and i7-1360P models bring the highest offers, followed by the i7-13620H and i5 models, with the Core i3-1315U at the entry level. After that, installed memory (32GB or 64GB pays more than 8GB or 16GB) and SSD size (1TB or 2TB pays more than 512GB) raise your offer, as does including the 120W or 90W power adapter. Gadget Salvation has been buying used electronics since 2008. Get your instant quote above, ship your NUC to us with a free prepaid label, and get paid fast. Learn more on our how it works page, or read our first-time seller's guide.
05 How do I prepare my NUC for shipping, and how do I get paid?
Back up your files to an external drive or cloud storage, then sign out of your Microsoft account. You don't need to remove the SSD; our team securely wipes every drive we receive, as explained on our data erasure protocols page. If the NUC came from a workplace, ask your IT team to remove it from Microsoft Intune or Windows Autopilot and to clear any BIOS password or Intel vPro (AMT) remote management lock, since locked units can't be reset. Pack the NUC and its power adapter snugly in a box (see our shipping instructions) and use the free, insured label we provide. Once it arrives and passes inspection, we send payment within two business days by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or check.
06What's the trade-in value of my ASUS NUC 13 Pro Mini PC?
The calculator at the top of this page gives you the current cash offer in a few seconds — no sign-up, no haggling and no waiting on an appraisal. Pick the configuration that matches your ASUS NUC 13 Pro Mini PC, then tell us its cosmetic condition and whether everything still works. The quote updates as you answer, and the amount you accept is what we pay, provided the device arrives as described. If something is wrong with it — a cracked screen, a tired battery, a laptop that will not power on — say so in the calculator; we still buy most faulty devices, the offer simply adjusts. Offers track the resale market, so it is worth checking again if you are not ready to sell today.
