Exciting times lie ahead for mini PC enthusiasts as MSI makes its foray into the Mini PC market with its Cubi & Pro DP series. With Intel discontinuing its NUC series, many were left disappointed, but MSI’s entry brings renewed hope. Alongside the recently mentioned Azulle Elite mini PC, these new offerings are set to delight users seeking compact yet capable computing solutions.
The MSI Cubi series is an ideal choice for handling daily tasks with ease. Powered by Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake and Alder Lake-N CPUs, it boasts up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. Despite its compact 0.66-liter form factor, it comes equipped with a comprehensive array of I/O options, including Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual Ethernet ports, catering to various connectivity needs. The MSI Cubi is expected to hit the market in Q3 2023, starting at an enticing price of $499.
For those seeking even higher performance, MSI has got you covered with the Pro DP series. This premium offering supports 13th Gen Raptor Lake-P processors or desktop-grade Raptor Lake-S chips, coupled with up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. Naturally, the increase in performance also reflects a higher starting price, with the PRO DP10 13M model priced at $799.
Both the Cubi and Pro DP series come pre-installed with Windows 11 Home, while MSI recommends Windows 11 Pro for business users. With these new additions, MSI aims to cater to a wide range of users, providing compelling options for various computing needs.
