Review: Reliable mini computer - Years ago I only bought MSI mainboards to build my own systems, but somehow got sidetracked to Asus, (Big mistake.) MSI made a comeback with my trust while providing reliable quality and now my two MSI mini ITX NAS systems both run a water cooled i5 cpu with 64 Gb ram, 10 Gb fiber network, and Truenas Scale. The Cubi Professional is no exception in quality. It's quiet, fast, reliable, and stays cool. I'm using the Thunderbolt port for my "Express 4M2" NVMe external storage, and the storage unit has Thunderbolt pass-through which allows a Solo 10G SFP+ fiber network connection. This compliments my Homelab/Office 10 Gb network with really great speeds. I haven't found any cons yet, but time will tell. I do wish MSI had included the external on/off cable button, but it's absolutely not a deal breaker. This little unit replaced an older HP laptop with ease. I'm very satisfied and hope this Cubi Professional unit lasts for a long time.
Review: Pretty Solid So Far - I don't have a ton of use for Windows but there specific things I do use it for often enough. For a while I've been using an old iMac running Windows 10 and it was perfectly fine for my use. However, I got the itch to upgrade it and take advantage of modern specs like windows 11 and higher resolutions and frame rates. I didnt do a ton of research but when I came across this it seemed like a decent deal. I have no idea what the exact model this is but 12th gen i7, 32gb ram, and 1tb SSD for the price seemed like it was more than enough for what I need it for. Ive had it about a month and it's been solid. It's not the best build quality I've ever seen but I wasn't really expecting that at this price. Ive been having a good time learning Windows 11 and getting it customized, and there haven't been any operational issues or slow downs. Im still an Apple guy and still much prefer my Mac but if you're a tinkerer there are just always things you come across that you'll need a PC for. So for that type of use this is a sold choice when not wanting to go nuts with costs or specs. A good balance of price, specs, and performance, I think.

I love this computer. Comparable in size to a tablet so it takes up less room than a laptop. Very responsive.
