Before the start of Computex 2025, MSI showcased a series of its desktop products, including a new NUC device that complies with Microsoft's "Copilot+ PC" design and a new gaming monitor with a screen refresh rate of up to 600Hz.
Cubi NUC AI+ 2M
The newly launched Cubi NUC AI+ 2M targets both commercial and consumer market needs. With a capacity of just 0.826 liters, it features an extended power button connector or allows for power connection with an MSI monitor. Its base also features a VESA wall-mount design, making it easy to install behind a monitor or secure it to a desktop or wall using adapters.
The hardware specifications can be as high as an Intel Core Ultra 258V processor, built-in 32GB LPDDR5X memory, and an M.2 PCle Gen5 x4 NVMe SSD. The connection port is equipped with two Thunderbolt 2 ports, one of which supports PD-in power supply design of up to 4W. Therefore, it can also be directly connected to the MSI monitor via USB-C for power supply, without the need for a dedicated external power supply (but it will also occupy a USB-C/Thunderbolt 1 port).
Other specifications provide two sets of 2G wired network connection ports for commercial needs, and built-in dual microphones and bottom speakers. It supports up to three sets of screen display outputs connected simultaneously.
