According to our desktop expert
Work in Office programs with the MSI Cubi NUC 1M-001EU. This small desktop has an Intel Core 5 processor and 8GB DDR5 RAM, so you can work smoothly and without delay during your working day. For example, make presentations and spreadsheets in Office programs, or make small edits in Adobe Photoshop. Thanks to the small size, you can easily place the MSI Cube behind a monitor so it doesn¿t take up much space on your desk. You can use the included VESA mount for this. You can easily make this small desktop more powerful by expanding the 8GB RAM up to 64GB DDR5 RAM. As a result, you can work even more smoothly. In addition, you can connect up to 4 monitors at the same time to this mini desktop. This way, you can divide your work easily to multiple monitors. For data transfer, use the Thunderbolt 4 port to combine a universal connector with an extra fast transfer.

The MSI Cubi NUC 1M, which I tested, offers an interesting alternative to the old Intel NUCs. This MSI is nicely complete and does not need to be equipped with other components as was often the case with Intel in the past.
It is nice that the MSI comes with a VESA mount with which you can attach it to many screens. Once you have done that, it is normally difficult to turn the PC on and off, but a handy button is included for this purpose that can be connected by wire to the out-of-sight MSI.
If you use the MSI for daily tasks such as browsing, it performs excellently. Everything goes quickly and without any hiccups. YouTube, Netflix and various other streaming services are nice and fast and smooth.
It has WIFI 6 on board, so even when there is no cable ethernet nearby, it easily comes online. The reception is good here, but of course that also depends very much on your own WIFI at home.
Although this PC is of course not intended for real 3D games, it is surprisingly good for lighter titles. Portal runs without problems at 1440p, but for heavier games like Counter-Strike 2, the MSI is not suitable.
The MSI Cubi NUC 1M is an excellent mini PC that is nice and fast for general use. For gaming I would look for something else.

With the addition behind 1M you know which processor is in it, 002 is equipped with the Intel Core 5 processor. Powerful enough as a desktop PC and not too expensive. Major advantages are low power consumption and takes up very little space, as a disadvantage it is possible that under heavy load the NUC can blow very audibly. And of course just like with most laptops (which you can perhaps compare a NUC to) it is not possible to play heavy 3D games for which an AMD or Nvidia video card is necessary. That does not mean that you cannot play any 3D game, but pay attention to that system requirement. The popular Manor Lords for example does work, although it is far from optimal.
With the many connectors such as 4 standard USB, 2 USB-C, double HDMI and double 2.5 gigabit network connector and an SD card reader, this is a versatile device in a very small box with low power consumption. Complete as a desktop PC, with Windows already pre-installed it is literally plug and play.
This can be ideal if you have a monitor with 4 holes on the back (VESA adapter), which can also be used for a monitor stand, for example. This allows you to hang the NUC on the back and suddenly your desk is virtually free, especially if you apply some clever cable management or even better, a wireless keyboard and mouse. That's why I think the included optional power button on an extension cord is great. Brilliant. After all, it's otherwise difficult to reach the power button if the NUC is on the back of your monitor.

A NUC is not intended to play heavy 3D games, but it can as long as no heavy AMD/Nvidia video card is required.
