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 and 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 tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
