Not all PC buyers need big, gaming RGB beasts. Business and industrial applications are often better served by functional PCs that take-up little (expensive) desk space; can be completely hidden behind screens; that are powerful but also power efficient; and which come with green credentials that your own organisation can inherit. If you’re a user or an IT manager that this resonates with, then you will want to check out the latest and greatest Cubi NUC mini PCs from MSI.
Originally developed by Intel, tiny NUC (Next Unit of Computing) PCs transformed the world of business computing by allowing small computers to be used in new and innovative ways. They could be discreetly (and securely) VESA-mounted on to the back of monitors which meant that expensive office desk space was freed up, cable clutter was banished and customer-facing businesses (like shops, hotels and restaurants) could use them on counter tops without defiling their stylish spaces. Being mounted on the rear of displays also transformed screens into relatively inexpensive smart panels and this has become a foundation of modern digital signage.
They were often cheap, but could be underpowered for some applications and this could be exacerbated by the thermal issues inherent in older silicon, and heat-build up derived from the lack of ventilation in the small chassis. But, this has now changed. MSI’s new Cubi NUC PCs utilise 14 -Gen Intel processors which provide all the power you need while minimising heat-re.
