Review: A small box that happily runs two big screens....... - I’ve been running the MSI Cubi 5 with an i7 chip for a while now, and it’s hard to believe so much power fits into such a small box. It’s about the size of a couple of stacked paperbacks, so it tucks neatly behind the monitor and keeps the desk nice and clear. I added my own RAM and SSD, which was straightforward enough, and once it fired up the speed was instantly noticeable.... It tool 7 seconds from pressing the on button to being able to open programmes quickly, websites load in a flash, and even with plenty of tabs and files open it doesn’t slow down. Installing the memory and SSD was an easy task, even for me as an amateur in computer builds.... One of the best things for me has been the two-monitor setup. I’ve got one screen running through HDMI and another on the DisplayPort, and it handles both with ease. No lag, no stutter, just plenty of space to spread out documents, emails, and the odd photo project. Having two screens side by side makes everyday jobs feel less cramped, and the Cubi doesn’t even break a sweat powering them. Whether it be the PC or the displays (I don't know), both screens start up automatically when the Cubi on switch is pressed.... so trivial, but saves me having to turn them on manually! It’s very quiet in day-to-day use. Most of the time I can’t hear the fan at all, and even when it’s working harder during bigger tasks it’s just a gentle hum in the background. That makes it ideal for working in the evening or when others are watching TV in the same room. Despite being so small, it never feels like it’s overheating or struggling. Connectivity is excellent too. There’s Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C, plenty of USB ports for older devices, plus WiFi 6E and dual LAN, so it’s well set up for the future. I’ve also tried it with an external hard drive for backups and it handled the transfer speed beautifully. It really does give you the flexibility of a big desktop without the bulk. For me, the Cubi 5 has slotted perfectly into the our home. It runs fast, stays quiet, and copes brilliantly with two monitors, which is all I really ask of a home PC. If you want something compact, tidy, and still powerful enough for serious work, it’s an excellent buy. I wouldn't be without it now...
Review: Thanks for helping us save the planet LOL (tagline on the box) - Well, only 4 stars as not really tested yet, but first impressions are absolutely awesome... ssd and m.2 nvme in a tiny box. Not put it on a mains power tester yet, but certainly fast enough for a browser/simple-compiler dev box based on a rough comparison with gmktec g3 n100 box.. (better than the g3 as faster nvm and memory) A little problem trying to install linux... do not put a boot usb stick in, get into uefi and disable secure boot first, then boot from media.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, quiet and reliable
*by A***R on 16 January 2025*

Opted for the barebones N200 version. Sure, there are cheaper alternatives available on Amazon and elsewhere but I've come to trust MSI and they haven't let me down yet. I added a 1TB m.2 SSD and a single 32 GB DDR4 stick (it won't take more than one). I'm not sure how the N200 compares to the N100 but I'm impressed by its speed given its size and low power consumption.
