Background
The NUC13VYK is the Slim variant of Desk Mini PCs in the NUC 13 Pro Vivid Canyon lineup released in 2023. Other than visually, it is identical to the Intel NUC13ANK from the same year and processor generation. This is the last NUC marketed by Intel, predating ASUS' acquisition of the NUC line.
Identification
The Vivid Canyon NUC can be identified by the label underneath the unit. This label contains the exact model number, date of manufacture, and serial number for your NUC. If you are missing this label or the label is damaged, the only unique identifier compared to the Arena Canyon Slim NUC is the aluminum chassis and lack of VESA mount which make it the "Desk Edition." The "Slim" version is differentiated from the "Tall" version by its lack of 2.5-inch drive bay and back-panel expansion bay, resulting in its shorter height.
