Trade-offs
- No operating system included. You must install Windows 11 (or another OS) separately; barebone configuration requires additional software purchase.
- No memory or storage installed. DDR5 RAM and NVMe or SATA drives must be purchased and installed separately before use.
- Limited to integrated Intel graphics. Graphics performance is suitable for everyday tasks and office work, not gaming or 3D rendering.
- 120 W power budget. Cannot support high-power external devices or GPU expansion; designed for efficient, fanless or low-power operation.
The Cubi NUC 1M i7 150U BB configuration is a barebone system equipped with an Intel® Core 7 processor 150U, but does not include required DDR5 memory, storage, or software. Features Intel Wi-Fi AX211 & Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
Equipped with up to Intel® Core™ 7 Processor 150U with 10 cores and 12 threads, it provides faster and more reliable performance. It also features 5.40 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which allows users to multitask a variety of applications with ease.
Users can easily upgrade two SO-DIMM, two M.2 SSDs (2280 & 2242), or one 2.5" HDD/SSD by disassembling the cover. This makes Cubi NUC an even more flexible desktop and also reduces the time wasted on upgrading.
With a various array of I/O ports, it can connect all devices users need at the same time so they can multi-task with those devices to make them work more efficiently. Front I/O connectivity includes a Mic-in/Headphone-out combo jack, 2x USB 10Gbps Type A and 1x Micro-SD card Reader. The rear I/O features dual 2.5Gbps ethernet LAN ports, 2x Thunderbolt 4, 2x HDMI 2.1 and 2x USB 10Gbps Type A.
MSI Power Link technology allows Cubi NUC to be powered by an MSI-selected monitor. Power Meter enables one-click power saving, carbon emission calculation, and electricity cost estimation.
Made with PCR (Post-consumer Recycled) plastic materials and recycled molded pulp tray packing design.
