Mini PC MSI Cubi Nuc 1M im test: Intel Ultra 7, Arc & zwei Thunderbolt ports

With the Intel Core 7 150U you can separate MSI from the best CPUs and all the graphics performance of AMD. For a price of 957 Euros it gives a capacity of 16 GB of storage space (RAM) and a fast SSD with 512 GB. Optically it is a matter of lights, with the Red Dot Award that is awarded, a black house with a visible air glare. During testing it turned out that the hardware can that the mini PCs lie and that they are a purchase price.

For the Cubi NUC 1M, the good connection with two Thunderbolt 4 and two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is supported. There is a light packaging of 42.9 products recycled plastic and a light padding. Erfill is thus the requirements for your office work.

In the CPU set of MSI on Intel, the Core 7 150 U with integrated ARC graphics is available. This core has a capacity of 5.4 GHz and a power consumption of 20 Watts. These are 8 or 16 GB RAM on this page, with a stroke of 5600 MHz. The own power with DDR-RAM is not so high – in the own power, technically corrected to 5600 MT / s (Megatransfers pro Sekunde). The austatschbaren RAM module comes in SO-DIMM construction. MSI has in all variants of 8 GB modules a problem with 8 GB on 16 GB installed, but in the 16 GB variant the integrated module is increasingly used.

The M.2 SSD with PCIe Gen 4×4 slot is 512 GB gross. The Crystaldiskmark has this value 5000 points in reading and 2800 points in writing. Another M.2 plug can be used on the SATA drive with a 2.5 inch festival plate.

The Cubi NUC has a Thunderbolt 4 connection, whereby the Mini PC can deliver a Power Delivery (PD-in) with a power of 100 W. An alternative is a DC book. If you have the HDMI connection of version 2.1, a davon with Power Link – after the Mini PC has automatically turned on, the monitor can be installed. In practice, it is the case that if the Mini PC gives a hint to the monitor, it now works in combination with an MSI monitor. You cannot use a 2.5 Gbit LAN. When setting up the wireless hardware, set MSI with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 on comparable standards.

A point of criticism is the Bloatware. The system supports Norton 360 and brings new pop-ups forward by default. It is nervous and unnoticed that Windows Defender is definitely used. Even the model of manufacturers from Fernost, such as Geekom (Test message), Ouvis (Test message) or Beelink (Test message), come without Bloatware and are in point price-performance better set.

On the Cubi NUC 1M the biggest problem with mobile Intel CPUs is in German: a large graphics card. If the Core 7 has a higher class CPU version, Intel is better suited for AMD support. This can all be done in 3Dmark Time Spy Deutsch. A core of 7 is installed on the 1750 points, the 1560 graphics points and the 5550 CPU points – that’s still a meager. Compared in PCmark 10, here the CPU is only 5340 points and lies that it looks like a Ryzen 5700. In Geekbench 6 the 1M is 2560 points in single-core and 8600 points in multi-core. The graphics make an error of 15020 points.

Also the play tests have fallen seriously: Cities Skylines 2 is in a new world now with new settings in Full-HD with 25 to 30 FPS played games. If we encounter graphic bugs, it is so much fun to play a game, that a man in the Straße has a great power. It is not that the graphic design of the new right to the new ARC graphics is optimized. See man sich in it Anno 1800 a 40000 hometown with built-in Full-HD and with disabled FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) and a system with only 30 FPS. It is a whole game, but also everything else is not of the higher class of mini-pc, which is also the price of a toy.

With a voltage of 15 Watt in Idle and 45 Watt under maximum load, the system is under power saving. If the Multi-Core expansion lets the CPU run at a lower speed than 5.4 GHz, Intel is supported. Realistic here is with 2.0 GHz with a range. Despite low power consumption of 20 Watt, the CPU quickly reaches 80 °C and inside the thermal cycle, also reverts to a higher temperature.

If a man puts down 1000 euros at Cubi NUC 1M, this is a plastic housing. With the lights, the black design and the shortened results, the Rechner has won a Red Dot Award 2024. The matt top surface is no longer suitable for finger prints and cracks. With a size of 135.7 × 132.7 × 53.6 mm including the possibility to finally equip 1M with the larger mini PCs. The weight is 660 g and is in the performance class-ziemlich high. MSI loves the 1M and has done away with an external power button and a new SATA cable with.

In a test version with Intel Core 7 150 U, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB memory, the MSI Cubi Nuc costs 1M 957 euros at Computeruniverse.

The Barebone variant with RAM and memory with Core 7 150 hours takes power 646 euros. If you also save RAM and money, you can save a lot of money here. The components are technically identical, they cost an extra 125 euros for the PC and cost 185 euros for the original version. A Windows Lizenz man should not be present here.

Buy MSI with the Cubi NUC 1M with Core 3 100U, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD for € 659, with Core 5 120U, 8 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD for € 800, -. If you get a rating of 8 GB RAM under Windows 11, this is no longer the case: MSI demands a higher class of PCs, preferably not about the full configuration. Even mini PCs of 300 euros, with the AMR5 (test report) with 16 GB RAM, are more than good.

A good alternative with an Intel CPU is the Ovis F1A (Test report). For a price of 750 euros you get a new Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD player with better functionality. This execution and processing are a good way to make the F1A definitive with the Wahl.

It gets even better with them Geekom AX8 Pro (Test report), one of our main graphics users, with an excessive CPU hat. Here is no Intel, but AMD with a strong suit with a capacity of 32 GB RAM and a larger capacity for 2 TB SSD memory. Also the rest of the equipment is re-programming. Here is Gaming a free game and that for 950 Euro (Code: TSAX8) – also suitable for MSI Cubi NUC 1M.

It is a prize of 600 euros Watch AMR5 (Test report) an alternative. I come with a Ryzen 7 5700U and 16 GB RAM for now 295 euros (Code NNNDEOVR57).

With a fast 1000 Euros, the price for the Cubi Nuc 1M is a bit too high. If you use an MSI processor from Intel, the mobile sector will not see your graphics now. RAM and SSD are very fast, but now the minimum in this price range is inherited. If the processor increases the temperature of the CPU, it will be better. The model with Core 3 and 5 is a good alternative, which now works with 8 GB of RAM, was very quirky. If you turn on the device with the action, you can not use the device.
