Sales of mini PCs are doing quite well despite the shrinking PC market, which is one of the reasons why firms like MSI are increasingly focusing on this segment. Today the company reveals its Cubi N, a new mini PC designed for businesses or consumers. It's based on the Intel Braswell platform, it features an Intel Celeron N3150 processor, 4GB DDR3L (max 8GB), an mSATA SSD, an optional 2.5" HDD/SSD expansion bay, 802.11ac WiFi, optional Bluetooth 4.0, 3-in-1 memory card reader, four USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, and Windows 10 Home.
MSI proudly announces an upgrade of its smallest mini-PC to date: the MSI Cubi N. This tiny desktop is built on a concept of nifty technology and a brilliant design to suit the needs of both consumers and businesses. Thanks to the implementation of a wide range of the Braswell Intel® processors, users can benefit from a palm-size PC that is now more powerful than ever! It is capable of carrying multiple modular hard disks drives that provide a large base for data storage and has a new fanless design to insure ultra-silent operation. MSI Cubi N is mountable to a wall by VESA standards or can be combined with an Ultra-HDTV, so the user can enjoy Ultra High-Definition and high quality media entertainment at home. For commercial applications, Cubi N comes with plenty of ports to connect external devices, and is the essence of small, smart computing. The MSI Cubi N is globally available by end of October 2015.
Small, Smaller, Smallest
Smaller than a lunchbox and less volume than a large soda can, MSI Cubi N is the smallest mini PC in its kind. With a 0.45 liter case that still provides all the elements of a desktop-worthy PC. With curved edges, a wavey surface, a fanless design and conveniently positioned I/O ports, the MSI Cubi N is not only the smallest, but also the smartest in its kind.
Intel® Braswell Platform
MSI Cubi N features Intel’s latest Braswell 14nm processor family, with an overall power consumption of less than 15W, a reduction of 30% compared to the previous generation. The Intel integrated CPU with integrated HD Graphics provides for a great performance in multi-media applications.
High speed and big storage
Based on a modular design, the MSI Cubi N offers the possibility to install an additional 2.5” HDD for super high capacity data storage. Users can easily replace the bottom cover with an extended module, providing more space for those who desire more storage. With a built-in mSATA solid state drive and an extra 2.5” SSD or HDD, users can enjoy high-speed data processing and a big storage capacity at the same time.
4K UHD Support & VESA mount support
MSI Cubi N can serve as an excellent HTPC with support for displaying Ultra High-Definition content, so the user can enjoy high quality media entertainment at home.
