- Budget-Conscious DIYers: Designed for users who want to customize their own memory and dual-drive storage configurations.
- Processor: Intel N200 (4 Cores, 4 Threads, 6MB Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
- Memory Support: 1x DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMM slot (up to 16GB capacity, RAM not included)
- Storage Expansion: 1x M.2 2280 SSD slot plus 1x 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD bay (7mm thickness, drives not included)
- Graphics & Video Output: Intel UHD Graphics; 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode)
- Networking & Connectivity: Dual Realtek 1GbE LAN ports, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0
- Physical Dimensions & Mounting: 124 x 124 x 53.7 mm (4.88 x 4.88 x 2.11 inches); VESA mount compatible (100 x 100 mm and 75 x 75 mm)
Setting up the MSI Cubi N ADL-264BTW is a straightforward process for system integrators and DIY enthusiasts alike. Accessing the internal layout requires removing only four screws, exposing the single DDR4 SO-DIMM slot and the dual-storage interfaces. In daily operation, the system runs remarkably quiet and cool, drawing minimal power while handling web browsing, document editing, and 4K video playback seamlessly. The front-facing USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and Type-C ports offer convenient, high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbps, making external drive backups fast and efficient.
Compared to standard desktop towers, the MSI Cubi N ADL-264BTW saves over 90% of desk space while consuming a fraction of the electricity, making it a highly sustainable choice for enterprise deployments. Unlike closed-system mini PCs, this barebone kit allows users to select their preferred RAM and storage brands, avoiding the premium costs of pre-configured models. Furthermore, its dual Gigabit LAN configuration provides network redundancy and intranet/internet isolation capabilities that are rarely found in consumer-grade mini PCs within this price tier.
- Q: Does this mini PC come with RAM, storage, and an operating system? A: No, this is a barebone system. You must purchase and install a DDR4 SO-DIMM memory module, an M.2 or 2.5-inch SSD, and an operating system like Windows 11 separately.
- Q: Can I mount this unit behind a computer monitor? A: Yes, the chassis supports standard VESA mounting, allowing you to attach the mini PC directly to the back of a compatible monitor to create a clean, all-in-one style workspace.
- Q: What is the maximum memory capacity supported by the Intel N200 processor? A: The system features one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot that supports a maximum capacity of 16GB RAM running at speeds up to 3200MHz.
- Q: How many displays can be connected simultaneously? A: You can connect up to three independent displays at the same time using the HDMI 2.1 port, the DisplayPort 1.4 port, and the USB-C port with DisplayPort output capability.
- Q: What security features are built into this device? A: The motherboard features a hardware-based dTPM 2.0 (discrete Trusted Platform Module) chip, which provides secure encryption key storage to protect your sensitive business data.
