Which should you buy?
The NUC 14 Pro+ edges ahead on the Mars Score (72.2 vs 67.4), but the 4.8-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the NUC 14 Pro+ if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are storage, ram, thunderbolt.
Pick the EQ14 if you care most about tdp / volume. Its strongest claims are tdp, volume.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
