A pint-sized Core i5 PC with zero fan noise. When we reviewed the Cubi 2 back in April, we came away feeling as though MSI was close to creating a near-perfect ultra-small PC. The itty-bitty machine came fully loaded with memory, storage and Windows 10, taking away any of the guesswork associated with barebone rivals, and it had plenty of ports, including USB 3.1 Type-C.

All that was needed, we felt, was for the HDMI port to be upgraded from 1.4 to 2.0, in order to enable 4K60 on the big screen, and the price to drop to a more reasonable level.
