Product information
Pros and cons
According to our desktop expert
- Thanks to Windows 11 Pro, your files are more secure and you can log in to another computer within your domain via Remote Desktop.
- This desktop includes a free VESA mount with which you can easily place the mini PC behind your monitor.
- You can easily expand this laptop with extra DDR4 RAM, which makes it future-proof.
- Choose a desktop with at least an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor if you want to do more than sending emails and text processing.

For me it was Install and go. It all worked immediately. I use it in combination with an ultra wide monitor without any problems. Fast and silent computer and also expandable. Hangs behind the monitor. I'm very satisfied so far and haven't really found any downsides yet.

My previous computer crashed and I needed a replacement. But my budget was a bit low, so this Cubi was nice and affordable. I did increase the RAM to 64 GB and the hard drive will be replaced by a 4 TB one.
