Yeah, DP 1.2 kinda hard to use as a 4K HTPC if you're running 10bit color (think you need 1.4). The large port format is pretty normal, but those standards are crap.
Nope, DP 1.2/HDMI 1.4 is what Comet Lake's integrated graphics officially supports. And as this isn't meant to be a high-end gaming rig, it's meant to be a small office system. Yeah, they mention HTPC usage, but all small form factor computers do that, even when they're wildly unsuited to it.
The CPU options do not include Sandy Bridge. It appears to use a more recent model processor. The article and specs listed on MSI's website identify 10th gen chips as opposed to 2nd gen SB hardware.
Rebranding/reiterating isn't inherently bad as long as the performance/price/efficiency is still competitive. Which this still is, in terms of efficiency and performance, and that's what really matters here

You're correct, this is Skylake rehash/rebrand, not Sand Bridge rebrand.MrSpadge - Monday, November 18, 2019 - link
I smell some good humor here. Seems to be well hidden, though.Retycint - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link
This is about as well-hidden as the "Rebrandeon" jokes back in the R9 2xx/3xx days, that is to say, extremely obvious and unfunny.Retycint - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link
