MSI Introduces Cubi NUC WCG: Compact Mini PC for Business
MSI has announced the Cubi NUC WCG, an ultra-compact 0.55-liter mini PC designed for modern business environments. Powered by the Intel Core Processor 3 Series, the device focuses on productivity through versatile connectivity and simplified maintenance.
A standout feature of the Cubi NUC WCG is the new Tool-less 2.0 design. This two-step mechanism allows users to open the chassis quickly without tools, streamlining routine servicing and component access. To ensure a tidy workspace, MSI has also included a cable organizer to prevent accidental disconnections.
Despite its small footprint (40.1 mm in height), the unit offers robust I/O options. It includes a Thunderbolt 4 port supporting up to 40Gbps data transfer, DP 2.1 alt-mode (up to 4K @60Hz), and 98W PD-in. Additional connectivity includes a 20Gbps Type-C port, two HDMI outputs, and dual LAN ports (2.5G and 1G) for flexible networking. The device also supports up to three simultaneous displays.
