The market for mini-PCs has been steadily growing in recent times. Many OEMs have revealed new products updated with the most recent AMD and Intel chips. Now, MSI has joined the herd by updating its Cubi series mini-PC with the Alder Lake-U series chips.
Less than two weeks after MSI debuted the mini-PC, retailers are now offering the Cubi 5 12M for sale. The Cubi 5 12M, which was unveiled at CES 2023, is available in a variety of configurations with three different Intel Alder Lake-U series processors. Particularly, MSI has made the following processors for the Cubi 5 12M available:

Each unit has a 124 x 124 x 53.7 mm chassis with SO-DIMM slots for DDR4 RAM and 2.5-inch and M.2 bays for SSDs. Three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity are all included in MSI’s Cubi 5 12M setup.
