Very nice system and nice set up with the monitor to. Great video as always :)

Thanks for the review. Just got my Cubi 5 12M (i7 version) but it didn't come with external power. after contacting MSI support, they told me it's an optional item but they don't have any. I was really hoping to have that switch as i want to mount this on back of Monitor. MSI support suggested to get 3rd party switch which i did. unfortunately, MSI Cubi has some proprietary connection that wouldn't plug into standard 2pin connector.

Nice. I always enjoy seeing mini PC's, although I'm a lover of normal desktop towers as well. I also know of a Chromebox, Google's mini PC made by Asus and Acer. I believe HP make them too. Would you ever consider looking at a Chrome box in the future?

[davgor]

is it good pc just for browsing websites and watching movies?

Those dual lan are interesting. If the cubi supports auto turn on after power loss, this could be the perfect low electricity low space but huge power for mikrotik/pfsense setup

I just ordered the barebones i3-1215u version since I just need a basic PC that doesn't lag. I've already got 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD to install once it arrives. I'm looking forward to how it performs.

A lot of power in a small volume. Awesome.

hi, will photoshop 2020 work on this PC?

[polyesterbebe]

my mini PC uses almost 100% GPU, VRAM, & Ram, but almost 0% CPU...I don't know what to think about this...any suggestions?

[jonm]

I just bought this from Amazon; the main reason was that it was the only miniPC with a Thurnderbolt 40GB port. I have couple of extra devices iwth Thunderbold and I really needed this feature. Amazing that it appears that none of the current crop of 2024 and even 2023 miniPCs come with Thunderbold. Anybody would have any idea why, is Thunderbolt already dead ?

[Ratchet_effect]

I can confirm the intel iris Xe graphics these little boxes have are very capable of running Mine craft on a canal boat, just don't crank the details up over 60fps
One thing Brian! have you ever done a video on IPS vs VA ? I don't recall one as that MSi Monitor you showed has both options available 🖖👍

[LostBallGolf]

Do you think you can get away with editing videos and streaming with it?

[egoneoteo]

Would these work 24/7 for 7 years? 😁 Could be used for digital signage

[ThunderKat]

Performance seem to match E-cores from newest Intel CPUs and that's just a bit faster than my old 4790K, impressive o/

[johngoard]

Not really my cup of tea but I can see where it would be useful to those who have limited space or a replacement for their potato machine.

[Noiconnotag]

i5 are really good right now, it is the sweet spot for price/performance, good for gaming and editing.
