Asus' NUC 14 Pro AI is a very successful mini PC: quiet, economical, comparatively powerful and prepared for AI apps. Unfortunately, however, it is quite expensive and if macOS is installed as the operating system, it looks weak compared to Apple's Mac mini M4. We can only hope that Asus will lower the sales price significantly.
