Compact AI mini PC

The MSI Cubi NUC AI+ 2MG-022US is a 1.97-inch mini desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 288V processor with 8 cores and 12 MB of L3 cache. It ships with 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1 TB PCIe M.2 2280 drive. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed and the system carries Copilot+ PC designation for on-device AI workloads.

Interface bandwidth limits

Dual 2.5G Ethernet ports provide wired throughput up to 2.5 Gbps each for local file transfer and streaming. Thunderbolt 4 ports deliver up to 40 Gbps for external storage, docks or displays. The integrated Intel Arc 140V graphics drives multiple screens through those ports without a discrete card.

Build and mounting implications

The chassis measures 1.97 inches tall and occupies 0.826 litres, allowing VESA mounting behind a monitor or on a wall. A 120 W power supply is integrated, so only a single AC cable reaches the desk. Built-in microphone and speaker handle calls without extra peripherals, while a fingerprint reader adds login security. Post-consumer recycled plastic forms part of the case.
