AI-generated summary
For £963.08 ex‑VAT, this ASUS NUC 13 Pro barebone is the kind of purchase that only makes sense if you already know exactly what storage/RAM you’re going to drop in. The i7‑1360P is a solid little workhorse for office productivity, light virtualization, and general “lots of tabs and apps” type workloads, and the NUC form factor is great where desk space and cable clutter matter. It’s also a good choice if you want something that “just runs” in a business setting without the faff of a full tower build.
That said, the price is the sticking point: because it’s a barebone, you’re effectively paying near-premium money for the chassis and platform, and the total cost can climb quickly once you add RAM and NVMe (plus any OS/licensing choices). If you’re buying for a small office on a tight budget, you’ll often be better served by a fully built system or a competitively priced mini PC that includes memory/storage. I’d recommend this for IT teams or power users who standardise builds and like having control over components—procurement consistency, quieter deployments, and fewer “what configuration is this?” surprises. If you just need a straightforward workstation today with minimal spend, I’d look elsewhere.
