MSI Cubi 5 10M Comet Lake Mini-PC

Packaging & Accessories

The box for the Cubi 5 is nice and compact, small enough to be held in one hand comfortably meaning it should be easy to transport or even ship. The box is just a standard brown box with some printed details, which I like to see it as looks and feels more recyclable but it is still functional and durable.

There’s a small specifications sticker on one end, all pretty standard stuff, but it’s also good to see here that it comes with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. It also appears that it was packaged in California which means that it has a cancer warning, just like everything else in California does.

On the inside of the box, you’ll find a nice layer of protective foam keep everything safe.

All the components come individually wrapped in foam bags or plastic bags.

In the box, you will find everything you need to get set up and running. There are your standard power cable, an external power button, hard drive connection cables should you need them, and the VESA mount.

I particularly like the external power button, as if you mount this system on the rear of a monitor it would be tricky to reach the power button.

However, with this button placed on your desk, that will no longer be an issue.
