Compact Mini PC for Everyday Tasks

The MSI Cubi N ADL-021US is a 0.66 liter desktop built around an Intel N100 quad-core processor with a base clock of 0.80 GHz and a turbo up to 3.40 GHz. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz and a 128 GB M.2 SATA SSD. Windows 11 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed. The tiny black chassis measures 124 x 124 x 53.7 mm and weighs .55 kg, making it suitable for a desk, a VESA mount behind a monitor, or a cramped home-office shelf.

Upgrade Path From Older Mini PCs

This unit replaces aging mini desktops or low-power laptops that struggle with modern multitasking. The jump is worth it when you need native triple-display support via HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, plus dual LAN ports for separate network environments. The board accepts one additional 2.5-inch SATA drive and supports up to 64 GB of DDR4, so storage and memory can grow with workload demands. dTPM 2.0 adds hardware-based security without extra configuration.

Sustained Operation in a Fanless-Class Chassis

Under continuous load the system runs quietly, registering 28 dBA in idle mode while the 65 W power supply feeds the SoC and integrated Intel UHD Graphics. The small volume limits thermal mass, so extended heavy compute tasks will throttle earlier than on larger desktops. For typical office, web and video playback workloads the temperature remains stable and acoustics stay low. Buyers who need sustained multi-core rendering or compile farms should look at larger form factors.

Questions about this item

Will the 124 x 124 mm case fit a standard 100x100 VESA mount?

Yes, the chassis includes a 100x100 mm VESA mount pattern so it can attach directly to monitor arms or brackets using those dimensions.

How do I add a 2.5" drive and what step is often missed?

Open the case, secure the 2.5" SATA drive in the internal bay, connect both the data and power cables, then enable the new drive in the BIOS so the OS can see it.

When will the 4 GB DDR4-3200 memory need an upgrade?

Plan to add a second DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM when multitasking slows down; the board supports up to 64 GB total across two slots.
