MSI announces the debut of the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG at CES 2026, a remarkably compact 0.51-liter Copilot+ PC crafted to deliver powerful AI acceleration, advanced connectivity, and outstanding energy efficiency. Powered by the new Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Series 3 processor, delivering next-generation on-device AI performance for modern business and edge-computing environments.

“The Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG showcases MSI’s dedication to providing powerful AI-driven solutions in the smallest possible form factor. Our collaboration with Intel allows us to offer customers advanced performance, versatile connectivity, and a sustainable design—perfectly suited to meet the demands of modern workplaces,” said James Yeh, VP, System & Display Group, MSI.

“By combining the efficiency and AI acceleration of Intel Core Ultra processors with MSI’s compact engineering and robust connectivity, the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG delivers outstanding performance for modern business workloads and AI-enhanced experiences,” said David Feng, vice president and general manager, Client Computing Group, PC Segments, Intel.

Despite its ultra-small footprint, the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG supports up to four displays through dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, enabling enhanced multitasking, digital signage deployment, and advanced visualization workflows. With dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, the system offers secure, high-bandwidth networking tailored for enterprise, industrial, and commercial applications.

Designed with both convenience and security in mind, the device includes a fingerprint-recognition power button for streamlined authentication and improved protection. The tool-free design enables quick access for upgrades or maintenance, while the cable organizer helps minimize clutter and prevents accidental disconnections — ideal for kiosks, compact workspaces, and vertical installations.

Demonstrating MSI’s commitment to sustainability, the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG incorporates Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastics and utilizes FSC-certified packaging. This design approach reduces environmental impact while ensuring durability and a refined aesthetic.

Bringing together advanced AI processing, multi-display support, enterprise-grade security, and eco-conscious design, the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG sets a new benchmark for compact commercial PCs — powerful, reliable, and ready for the AI-powered era.
