Cubi 5 12M: The Energy Efficient Mini-PC
The MSI Cubi 5 12M is a small yet powerful mini-desktop with an incredibly compact 0.7L design suitable for commercial office work or use as home-theatre/entertainment PC (supports UHD/4K 60Hz display output & triple-monitor setups).
The Cubi 5 12M i7 1255U BB is a barebone system equipped with an Intel 12th Gen Core i7-1255U processor, but does not include required DDR4 memory, storage, or software. Features Intel Wi-Fi 6E & Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
The easy-to-upgrade SFF case can house both M.2 (with auto switch) & 2.5-inch SSD storage, as well as up to 64 GB of system memory (2 x DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMMs), and is VESA-mountable for a cleaner desktop.
Thanks to its cooling-optimized layout and low-noise fan, the MSI Cubi 5 12M is not only an energy-efficient computing solution but is also very quiet, running at a whisper-level 28 dBA while in idle mode.
Front & rear I/O include dual Intel 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps ethernet LAN, Mic-in, Headphones-out, Thunderbolt 4 and 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.
