The MSI Cubi NUC 1M is a compact, versatile mini-PC ideal for business or light productivity applications. It can be purchased as a barebones system or as a pre-configured unit with components like RAM and SSD. Available configurations include Intel’s 14th-generation Core processors, such as the Core i3-100U, i5-120U, and i7-150U models. These processors are optimized for efficiency rather than performance, making the device suitable for tasks where low power consumption is prioritized.
Despite its compact size, the Cubi NUC 1M features impressive connectivity, including two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, two HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 60Hz, and four USB-A ports. Additionally, it has dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, useful for network-intensive tasks and remote management in business settings. For storage, it offers support for both an M.2 SSD and a 2.5″ drive, providing flexibility for different storage needs.
While it may not be the fastest in terms of raw performance, its energy efficiency, compact form factor, and ample connectivity options make it a solid choice for office environments or digital signage applications where space and power-saving are critical factors. The system is also environmentally conscious, incorporating post-consumer recycled plastics and a significant reliance on renewable energy in its production.
