MSI Cubi 5 Mini Overview

Capture the robust functionality of large computers in a compact form-factor with the Cubi 5 Mini Desktop PC from MSI. Powered by a 10th Gen 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, you can perform a variety of tasks whether you are at home or in the office. This palm-sized computer holds 8GB 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM and a 256GB M.2 NVMe solid-state drive, working together to assist in multitasking and enhance overall system operations, making this ideal for anyone looking to leverage power while saving room.

The front panel hosts USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C ports (one of each), giving you instant access for devices such as external drives and other peripherals. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 2.0 Type-A ports can be found on the rear panel for mice, keyboards, and other peripherals. Support multiple screens with HDMI and DisplayPort outputs that utilize Intel UHD Graphics to produce a clear picture suitable for work and entertainment. You can connect to your network via Wi-Fi 6 or the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing you to take advantage of high-speed internet access. Additionally, you can plug in a mic and headphones with dual 3.5mm audio jacks, giving you clear audio for conference calls and media.

VESA Mountable & External Power Switch
Designed to fit in a variety of environments, you can easily place the Cubi 5 under desks and even behind monitors with VESA-mount compatibility. An optional external power switch gives you the ability to turn your system on without reaching behind or under your desk.
Easy to Upgrade
By removing four screws from the bottom of the Cubi 5, you can gain access to the inside components of the device. Upgrade the M.2 SSD or install a 2.5" drive to expand your storage capabilities and even swap out your memory to a higher capacity up to 64GB.
Thermal Design
An integrated low-noise fan reduces noise level down to 23.6 dB in idle mode, providing ample power and near-silent operation that frees you of distractions.
USB Type-C
The front access panel contains a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, allowing you to connect an array of devices from storage drives to access hubs for easy connectivity. The reversible design keeps the guesswork out, giving you a simple and easy connection without fighting your cable and ports.
Dual Monitor Support
Connect up to two monitors with the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, giving you additional space for work or enjoying some entertainment.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
