MSI announces fanless aluminum mini PC: MSI Cubi 3 Silent and Cubi 3 Silent S

MSI announces fanless aluminum mini PC: MSI Cubi 3 Silent and Cubi 3 Silent S

MSI announces a new, fanless, aluminum mini PC: the MSI Cubi 3 Silent and Cubi 3 Silent S. The Cubi 3 Silent series are MSI’s first fanless mini PCs and are featured with the Intel Kabylake-U processors to provide efficient performance. The Cubi 3 Silent series have a comprehensive connectivity to suit the needs of both consumers and businesses.

Next to that, these new mini PCs can be upgraded with ease. By simply removing 4 screws on the bottom side of the Cubi 3 Silent, the user has access to its M.2 Slot, 2.5” HDD and SO-DIMM memory modules. The MSI Cubi 3 Silent is mountable to a wall by VESA standards or can be combined with an HDTV, so the user can enjoy Ultra High-Definition and high quality media entertainment at home. A black and a silver version of the MSI Cubi 3 Silent series are globally available by end of October 2017.

New on MSI mini PCs, the Cubi 3 Silent Series is assembled in an Aluminum case  and an Aluminum CPU heat sink to keep it cool without using a fan. Its innovative fanless heat dissipation design is both silent and energy efficient. A fan-less design also reduces malfunctions and increases the lifespan of the Cubi 3 Silent Series mini PC. Only remove 4 screws at the Cubi 3 Silent’s bottom cover to be able to upgrade or replace the M.2 SSD, memory modules and 2.5” HDD/SSD storage slots. It’s just that simple.

Cute! If all you do is browse the internet & light office work, then this would work pretty well, just make sure you have an SSD in there rather than HDD. I don't know much about the Kaby Lake U series CPU's, how slow or fast are they in comparison to some common yesteryear CPU's that we know & love?

Seems everyone is starting to get in on these mini PCs lately, which I like. Zotac, Gigabyte, Asrock, Intel, VIA, and now MSI. Not sure if I missed any. Though I personally don't want platforms like these, they help prove what you can do in such a small amount of space. Such space effectiveness can trickle down to larger boards, allowing for more features in a smaller package.
