Ready-to-deploy AI mini PC

The MSI Cubi NUC AI 1UMG-023BUS is a barebone mini PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor with 16 cores and integrated Intel Arc graphics. It ships without memory or storage so you can configure up to 64 GB of DDR5 5200 across two SO-DIMM slots and add an M.2 2280 drive. Dual 2.5 GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports provide extensive connectivity for business workloads.

Verify memory, storage and display needs

Confirm you have DDR5 5200 SO-DIMM modules because no memory is installed and only this generation is supported. Plan for a single M.2 2280 PCIe SSD as the sole internal boot drive. The unit offers two HDMI outputs and two Thunderbolt 4 ports with DisplayPort 1.4 alt-mode, each capable of 4K at 60 Hz, so check that your monitors match these interfaces.

Suits compact AI workstations.

This platform suits offices deploying Microsoft Copilot or Intel AI Playground workloads in a VESA-mountable chassis with MSI Power Link for single-cable monitor control. Buyers who need discrete GPU performance, more than one internal M.2 slot, or legacy USB-A ports beyond the three provided should consider a larger form factor.

Questions about this item

Does the barebone include RAM or an SSD, or do I need to buy them separately?

The unit ships with no memory and no storage installed. You must add up to 64 GB of DDR5 5200 SO-DIMMs and an M.2 2280 drive.

Which DDR5 speed and capacity should I choose for the two SO-DIMM slots?

Install DDR5 5200 modules; the board supports a maximum of 64 GB across both slots.

What does the 2.5 Gbps LAN figure mean for real-world file transfers?

Dual Intel I226-V ports each deliver up to 2.5 Gbps wired throughput, so large copies run faster than on standard gigabit LAN.
