Compact business desktop

The MSI PRO DP21 13M-499US is a 2.3L small-form-factor PC built around an Intel Core i7-13700 processor with 16 cores and 30 MB of L3 cache. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz and a 500 GB NVMe SSD, running Windows 11 Home 64-bit. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives 4K UHD output at 3840 x 2160 resolution at 60 Hz.

Build integration and expandability

The chassis accepts one M.2 SSD and two 2.5-inch drives plus two SO-DIMM slots for up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory, all reached by removing the top panel. Video connects through HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 for dual-display setups, while a 100x100 mm VESA mount lets the unit attach behind a monitor. A 120 W power supply and server-grade cooling module handle thermals in either horizontal or vertical orientation.

Capacity and headroom

The 16-core CPU and fast NVMe storage deliver responsive performance for office suites, video conferencing and 4K media playback. Eight gigabytes of RAM is adequate for everyday multitasking but will limit heavy creative workloads or virtualisation; the two SO-DIMM slots provide a straightforward path to 64 GB when more headroom is needed. The 500 GB drive holds the OS and core applications, with the additional 2.5-inch bays available for local data expansion.

Questions about this item

Will the 120W power supply limit the Core i7-13700 during long renders?

The 120W unit powers the 16-core CPU and integrated graphics; sustained all-core loads may hit the power ceiling before thermal limits.

How loud and hot does the server-grade cooling get after hours of use?

The server-grade thermal module spreads heat across the 2.3L chassis; fan noise rises under load but stays at office-friendly levels.

Does the box include a VESA bracket or must I supply my own 100x100mm mount?

The chassis has 100x100mm VESA holes built in; a separate bracket is not included.
