This is an exceptionally small footprint, and is additionally very light, making it easy to carry around from A to B, although it's worth noting that this is an identical footprint to the 12th Generation NUC, albeit around 20g heavier. It's significantly smaller than a lot of its competitors, with the closest in size probably being the Minisforum MC560, which measures 1.04 cm x 15.3 cm, or the Morefine M600, which measures 1.47 cm x 14.4 cm. The ports remain unchanged from the 12th Gen model, with the front sporting two USB-A ports and a headphone slot, and the rear offering 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB-A slots, 2 Thunderbolt ports, and an ethernet port. The NUC 13 Pro is powered by a barreled power supply and not a USB-C like some competitor models, however, this is unlikely to be a dealbreaker for a lot of people since a power supply is included in the box.

The Intel NUC 13 Pro is a small but powerful portable PC, designed for business but perfect for anyone who needs a small or portable machine
Intel as a company is synonymous with computing these days, controlling nearly 80% of the PC and Laptop market. They manufacture everything from processors and graphics chips to complete machines, and the Intel NUC lineup is a perfect example of the latter – small, portable workhorses that first entered the market in 2012.
We reviewed the previous model, the Intel NUC 12, fairly positively back in February, but the 13th Generation has only improved, featuring an updated i7-1360P processor. The machine will set you back somewhere in the region of £700, depending on where you buy and what extras you choose.
