Compact desktop for everyday work

The MSI PRO DP21 13M-498US is a 2.3L small-form-factor PC built around an Intel Core i3-13100 quad-core processor running at 3.40 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-3200 memory in a single SO-DIMM slot and a 500 GB M.2 NVMe SSD. Windows 11 Home 64-bit is pre-installed, and the chassis supports both horizontal and vertical placement plus 100x100 mm VESA mounting.

Graphics and display limits

Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 drives the video outputs, providing HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 connections. The GPU supports 4K UHD resolution at 3840 x 2160 and 60 Hz maximum refresh rate, enabling dual-display setups for office productivity or media playback.

Memory headroom and storage expansion

The board offers two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB of DDR4, so the single 8 GB module leaves room for a straightforward capacity increase. Internal bays accept one additional M.2 SSD and two 2.5-inch drives, giving ample space to grow beyond the factory 500 GB NVMe drive. The 120 W power supply constrains the system to low-power components, so discrete graphics upgrades are not practical.
