At the front are two USB-A ports with 10Gbit/s, plus a 3.5mm jack and the green-backlit power button. Christoph HoffmannNucBox K13 specificationsInside, the laptop is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, a Lunar Lake chip manufactured using TSMC’s 3-nanometer process. The total performance of up to 115 TOPS advertised by Intel results from the combined AI computing power of the NPU, integrated Arc graphics and the CPU. The memory is soldered in place and cannot be upgraded — a compromise also made by the NucBox K16 mini PC.
