Powerful Processor
At the heart of the PC is an Intel Core 5 120U processor, which uses 10 cores and 12 threads. Its base frequency is 1.4GHz, rising to 5GHz in Turbo Boost mode. The processor is complemented by 16GB of DDR5 RAM, which you can expand up to 64GB. A 512GB SSD with a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface ensures fast system response and instant application loading.
Memory and Storage Expansion Options
The computer's architecture is designed for future upgrades and maintenance. A special design for easy hard drive replacement provides quick access to storage. One free bay for a 2.5" drive is available, along with one occupied M.2 slot with a fast SSD. The system makes it easy to increase the total capacity for user data without having to perform a complicated disassembly of the entire device. This saves time on storage management.
Display with IPS Technology
The 23.8" screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080px uses IPS technology, delivering true-to-life colours and wide viewing angles of 178° horizontally and vertically. The anti-glare surface finish reduces unwanted light reflections in the room. This contributes to better readability of the displayed content when working near a window or under direct artificial lighting.
Eye-Care Technology
Long hours in front of the screen can be tiring on the eyes. Certified Anti-Flicker and Less Blue Light technologies reduce display flicker and cut down on harmful blue light emissions. These TÜV-certified features help to effectively prevent eye strain, suppress unwanted glare with a matte surface, and enhance overall user comfort during prolonged work.
Communication
For online meetings and video calls, there's an integrated webcam with 2MP resolution and support for Full HD 1080P resolution. A physical camera cover provides instant control over your privacy whenever you're not using the lens. The system is complemented by a microphone with a noise-filtering function that intelligently removes unwanted ambient sounds and transmits only a clear, intelligible voice.
Sound System with DTS Audio
The PC has two built-in speakers for 2.1-channel HD sound, which is complemented by the Realtek ALC256 audio codec. DTS Audio Processing technology enhances the final sound performance and offers clear, distortion-free reproduction of music and spoken word. A combo audio jack on the side of the case can be used to connect headphones or an external microphone.
Compact Design
The elegant white chassis, measuring 423 × 541 × 194mm, saves space on your desk and supports the VESA 75 × 75mm mounting standard. The total weight of the device is only 4.65kg, making it easy to handle if needed. Its clutter-free appearance is well-suited to modern offices, reception areas, and home environments where aesthetics matter.
Ergonomic Stand and Quiet Operation
The adjustable stand offers a screen tilt range from -5° to 15° to find the optimal working position. The Silent Pro Cooling system maintains stable temperatures for key components without unnecessary noise. Hot air exits through the top of the chassis, preventing overheating even under prolonged processor load.
Modern Wireless Connectivity
Fast network connectivity is provided by a wireless module with the Wi-Fi 6E standard. This standard uses the less congested 6GHz frequency band for more stable and faster data transfer. Bluetooth 5.3 is available for pairing with wireless peripherals, and a gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet port is ready for a classic wired network connection.
Rich Peripheral Connectivity Options
The computer body features a pair of USB-C ports, two fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two older USB 2.0 ports. The HDMI interface is used to connect an additional external monitor to expand your workspace. Furthermore, the unique Instant Display technology allows the computer screen itself to be used as a monitor by connecting another device to the HDMI-in port, without having to start the operating system.
Data Security
A hardware dTPM 2.0 encryption chip takes care of protecting your sensitive information. The integrated webcam supports Windows Hello for secure and fast login using facial recognition. Security is complemented by features that detect when a stranger is looking at the screen and lock the screen when you step away. A Kensington lock slot is provided for physically securing the computer in an office.
Smart Management and Cloud Services
The computer runs on the Windows 11 Home operating system. The MSI AI Engine tool automatically adjusts system performance and colour settings according to the currently running application, without the need for manual intervention. The MSI Cloud Center application, in turn, facilitates fast and wireless backup of files, photos, or videos between your PC and mobile devices running Android or iOS.
