For a model above, it will cost 320 euros, which is very economical to enjoy a Pentium, 2GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. As stated in our colleagues Site FredZone, the brand has not installed natively operating system in this model.

Still without OS, the third configuration of MSI mini PC comes with an Intel Core i3 with 4GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. Regarding the fourth configuration, it is not worth the deal, since MSI has decided not to market it in Europe.
