Solid Mid-Range Mini PC
5 out of 5 stars
Solid Mid-Range Mini PC
This is a surprisingly capable little PC for desktop productivity, media / HTPC, and some content creation or light gaming workloads. It's an Intel NUC-style mini PC built around the Core i5-8259U processor, which is a 28W CPU with an unusually large graphics processor (branded Iris Plus 655) - a custom config Intel made for Apple's MacBook Pros a couple cycles ago. The IT8 delivers pretty decent overall CPU performance. I tested it against a Dell XPS 13 featuring a Core i7-10710U (a 6-core, 12-thread 10th-gen Intel chip), and the IT8 is, surprisingly, actually faster in sustained multithreaded CPU workloads (Cinebench R23 ST/MT was 945/4010 vs. 1014/3333 for the Dell). The Geekom also beat the Dell by 20-30% in web browsing performance tests, which is quite respectable. On the graphics side, keep in mind this is still an Intel integrated GPU, so it will not match a discrete AMD/Nvidia graphics card, but the Iris Plus 655 is a big step up from Intel's normal 14nm iGPUs - often delivering 1.5-2x the graphics performance of the Intel UHD 620 in the XPS 13's Core i7-10710U chip. It is still a bit behind the highest-spec Radeon Vega iGPUs in competing quad-core AMD APUs, but it's in the same ballpark, and you get slightly better CPU performance on this. Also, the IT8 has the advantage of Intel QuickSync, which certain applications (like Blue Iris for home security cameras) greatly benefit from. Media playback at up to 4K 60 Hz is smooth. Idle power draw is just 9W, which is not bad, and under light web browsing, hits around 15W on average. Noise levels are also decently managed, though the PC is definitely not silent. The fan is always on; under light loads, it's noticeable only if located next to you in a quiet room. At full load, it's definitely quite audible (as with all actively cooled mini PCs), but not annoyingly so. The port selection is fine - on the rear, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) A ports, one USB-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 data and DP video support, an HDMI, MiniDisplayPort, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port (driven by an Intel i219-V chip, which works great), and the 19V DC barrel jack power input. On the front, there's a USB-A and USB-C port (both 3.2 Gen 2, and the C port supports video), a 3.5 mm headphone/mic jack, and the power button. There's also an infrared receiver, which could be neat for HTPCs in particular, and a full-sized SD card reader. A couple of additional USB 2.0 ports might've been nice for keyboard/mouse purposes. There's no Thunderbolt support, but with the HDMI, Mini DP, and two USB-C ports, this thing has four display outputs, all capable of 4K @ 60 Hz, which is pretty impressive. Inside, the Wifi chip is the Intel AC 7265, which works reliably and offers 2x2 Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 but is, unfortunately, soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded (e.g., to Wifi 6 or 6E). The NVMe SSD is fast enough for most use cases, and there's an available 2.5" bay inside the case if you want to add a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD for additional storage. One puzzling thing is that the 16 GB of RAM came as one 16 GB stick in single-channel, which reduces RAM bandwidth vs. having two 8 GB sticks in dual channel. On the plus side, Geekom includes a VESA mount, so you can easily mount the PC behind your monitor (or your wall or elsewhere). On the software side, the Geekom came with a clean installation (no bloatware- hurrah!) of Windows 11, and specifically Windows 11 Professional, which is great - many PC makers ship the Windows Home OS instead of Pro, then you need to spend up to $100 extra if you want features like Windows Sandbox, inbound Remote Desktop, etc. Overall, the IT8 has worked well for most use cases. If you need more CPU or GPU performance in a mini PC, your best bet would be something with the latest 8-core AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs, but those tend to be much more expensive (and usually larger too). This offers a nice middle ground option at a relatively affordable price.

    There's no Thunderbolt support, but with the HDMI, Mini DP, and two USB-C ports, this thing has four display outputs, all capable of 4K @ 60 Hz, which is pretty impressive.

    Inside, the Wifi chip is the Intel AC 7265, which works reliably and offers 2x2 Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 but is, unfortunately, soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded (e.g., to Wifi 6 or 6E). The NVMe SSD is fast enough for most use cases, and there's an available 2.5" bay inside the case if you want to add a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD for additional storage. One puzzling thing is that the 16 GB of RAM came as one 16 GB stick in single-channel, which reduces RAM bandwidth vs. having two 8 GB sticks in dual channel. On the plus side, Geekom includes a VESA mount, so you can easily mount the PC behind your monitor (or your wall or elsewhere).

    On the software side, the Geekom came with a clean installation (no bloatware- hurrah!) of Windows 11, and specifically Windows 11 Professional, which is great - many PC makers ship the Windows Home OS instead of Pro, then you need to spend up to $100 extra if you want features like Windows Sandbox, inbound Remote Desktop, etc.

    Overall, the IT8 has worked well for most use cases. If you need more CPU or GPU performance in a mini PC, your best bet would be something with the latest 8-core AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs, but those tend to be much more expensive (and usually larger too). This offers a nice middle ground option at a relatively affordable price.

    This is a surprisingly capable little PC for desktop productivity, media / HTPC, and some content creation or light gaming workloads. It's an Intel NUC-style mini PC built around the Core i5-8259U processor, which is a 28W CPU with an unusually large graphics processor (branded Iris Plus 655) - a custom config Intel made for Apple's MacBook Pros a couple cycles ago.

    The IT8 delivers pretty decent overall CPU performance. I tested it against a Dell XPS 13 featuring a Core i7-10710U (a 6-core, 12-thread 10th-gen Intel chip), and the IT8 is, surprisingly, actually faster in sustained multithreaded CPU workloads (Cinebench R23 ST/MT was 945/4010 vs. 1014/3333 for the Dell). The Geekom also beat the Dell by 20-30% in web browsing performance tests, which is quite respectable.

    On the graphics side, keep in mind this is still an Intel integrated GPU, so it will not match a discrete AMD/Nvidia graphics card, but the Iris Plus 655 is a big step up from Intel's normal 14nm iGPUs - often delivering 1.5-2x the graphics performance of the Intel UHD 620 in the XPS 13's Core i7-10710U chip. It is still a bit behind the highest-spec Radeon Vega iGPUs in competing quad-core AMD APUs, but it's in the same ballpark, and you get slightly better CPU performance on this. Also, the IT8 has the advantage of Intel QuickSync, which certain applications (like Blue Iris for home security cameras) greatly benefit from. Media playback at up to 4K 60 Hz is smooth.

    Idle power draw is just 9W, which is not bad, and under light web browsing, hits around 15W on average. Noise levels are also decently managed, though the PC is definitely not silent. The fan is always on; under light loads, it's noticeable only if located next to you in a quiet room. At full load, it's definitely quite audible (as with all actively cooled mini PCs), but not annoyingly so.

    The port selection is fine - on the rear, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) A ports, one USB-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 data and DP video support, an HDMI, MiniDisplayPort, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port (driven by an Intel i219-V chip, which works great), and the 19V DC barrel jack power input. On the front, there's a USB-A and USB-C port (both 3.2 Gen 2, and the C port supports video), a 3.5 mm headphone/mic jack, and the power button. There's also an infrared receiver, which could be neat for HTPCs in particular, and a full-sized SD card reader. A couple of additional USB 2.0 ports might've been nice for keyboard/mouse purposes.

    Geekom IT8 is a good small Windows 11 Pro mini PC. The mini PC (about 4.5 inch wide, 2 inch high) was packed nicely (think Apple) and came with needed power brick,optional VESA mount, additional screws, and a nice bag. All of the surfaces had a nice peel to prevent any scratching during shipment. There are multiple USB ports in both front and back, both have USB A and USB C ports. I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of an SD Card reader on the side - no need to hunt for my SD card reader everytime I transfer photos from my camera to the computer. There is also an audio jack on the front.

    There is HDMI, mini display port, and USB C that supports display - so you can hook up multiple monitors if you want. The mini PC has both WIFI and 1 Gbe ethernet. I tested speed with both WIFI and ethernet. In my home network setup, I could hardly see much practical difference between them, getting max speed for both. I also tested the transfer speed to my Synology NAS and I got maximum speed on both download and upload. SSD transfer speed was also as fast as expected for my 1 TB Sandisk SSD. You can easily play YouTube 4K video on this PC. The mini PC is dead quiet most of the time. Sometimes when doing some CPU intensive tasks the fan kicks in, but you have to be super close to hear it.

    Entire startup took a few minutes and Windows update and Microsoft Office were quick. I also added 1 TB SSD for extra storage, which took me literally a few mins just to open the back screws, which are permanently anchored to the plate so that you won’t lose them - I wish most vendors did that. 2.5 HDD nicely slides into the slot and gets seated without need - similar to hot swappable drives - simple and elegant solution.

    I have at least half a dozen mini PCs in my house for various uses, such as one just used for video conferencing (Zoom) on TV, for 3D print station, Raspberry pi for mini NAS etc. The PC has decent performance with its i5 processor and 16 GB RAM (1 stick that can be expandable to 32 GB). I plan on using this as one of my main home PCs for family tasks. Recommended!

    Got this it8 for my mom for Christmas, to replace her aging tower computer that kept freezing up. Got a little nervous on first boot, when I got a device not found message. Dashed off a help request to geekom support. But it didn't get answered right away. So I opened the top to verify the presence of the M2 sata drive. Gave a little wiggle on it and on the memory chips and restarted. (Probably just wiggled loose in shipping.) This time it fired right up into the windows 11 initialization. It was remarkably quick and responsive throughout the process. Still need to try pairing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when she gets one. She says so far it's been great. This is a complete computer system in a tiny desktop package (you can actually mount it to the rear of your monitor if so inclined - comes with VESA mounting hardware). Only need to hook up a monitor (or hd tv), mouse and keyboard and you're good to go. BTW, geekom did get back to me a couple of days later (after the holidays), offering their support - but I told them I already solved the problem. They seemed concerned to provide whatever help was needed. So no alarms there. For me, this is a winning product at a winning price point. Will update if any problems encountered down the road.

    I myself bought the IT8 for my sisters TV. Perfect size for her TV stand and very fast PC. 2 small issues I ran into was the thermal paste/temps. I had to take apart the PC and reapply thermal paste using better paste than what came with it as it was close to thermal throttling. 97-99c at times when the max is 100c. After reapplying i havent seen above 85 under any load.

    Although, Im sure temps would be fine in a open area but my sister didnt have that option and had to be on a shelf in her TV stand. So, temps may vary with other users experiences.

    2nd issue was Windows 11. Windows 11 is trash and more spy invasive than Win 10 so i put windows 10 on it and it is much better now. Also, windows 10 doesnt require a microsoft account just to start the dang pc.

    Those 2 small issues aside, it is a great PC and worth the money.

    I love this little box! It comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and activated, perfect for day-to-day use. Everything works out of the box.

    The performance is pretty decent. The mini PC plays 4k60fps YouTube videos smoothly, all with a very quiet cooling fan. For more demanding use cases, I tested Fusion 360 for 3D modeling. I am again not disappointed. The mini PC handles small to mid-size projects without any hiccups.

    It also stays very snappy, thanks to the NVMe SSD and 16GB of RAM. I like the fact that it has a cage for an additional 2.5-inch drive for future expansion. Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a general-purposed small PC.

    Updated review after playing with it for one week:

    I added another 16GB DDR4 stick and a 240GB SATA SSD, and installed Ubuntu 22.04 (pre-release). Everything runs really snappy, including Wayland! With all the capabilities, I plan to use this mini PC as a home server, running services like Plex, Nextcloud, and Proxmox Backup Server.

    This PC does NOT perform well, if at all when attempting to load even the smallest models locally. AI performance is horrible if it even gets to first token, which it often fails to do. After spending the money to upgrade the RAM to 128GB, it still failed miserably when attempting to use local AI models. Would not recommend wasting your money on this item if you are wanting to try and run local AI models on it. It fails miserably.

    This is an amazing little machine! The wife and I wanted a new mini-PC to replace our very old existing media PC. After a lot of research and looking around, we decided on the Geekom. I won’t repeat all of the specs which are easily found on Geekom’s descriptions of the product, but what mattered to us was that it met all of our needs for a true media PC. We wanted something that had lots of ports and expansion capabilities. could play 4k, and that we could attach a second monitor to so that we could use it for web look ups which is something that we like to have the ability to do from our living room instead of having to go to another PC in a different room. But I found that not only is it great as a media PC, but also something I can use for my audiophile pursuits. I’m enjoying having a quality PC in the living room that I can plug into my DAC/amp for my expensive headphones and kick back in the recliner and enjoy high quality audio as well. I like it so much that I’m considering getting another in the future for our RV that we are refurbishing and want a PC for various reasons built into it as well.

    Geekom did a great job with the packaging and protection of the PC as you can see from my photos, and even did little things I appreciated such as covering up the ports with a protective plastic covering to keep them clean and protected. It even has an HDMI cable included!

    As for performance, I literally have no issues or suggestions. It works great! No performance issues of any kind. And even though it can be expanded internally with more memory and hard drive space, I don’t think it is needed as I can simply put on an external drive to store movies if I needed to.

    In short, great little PC, 10 out of 10!

    I can honestly say that this little computer is dynamite 16 gb of ram expandable to 32 gb, 512 gb durable solid state drive (expandable to 1 Tb) and an 8th generation intel i5 processor with a clock speed of up to 3.8 ghz. The true test is how it performs and so far it boots up very quickly loads and operates programs efficiently and if that is not enough it supports 4k monitor (60Hz). There is more to say concerning this little compact unit like you can attach it to the back of any monitor with vesa adapter (included) but I will sum it up by saying at the price point that geekom is offering I would recommend this product to anyone. Check out video showing a 24 second restart of Geekom iT8.

    Ein Starker Kompakt Pc
    Reviewed in Germany on May 2, 2022

    Ich habe mir den GEEEKOM Mini Pc mit Intel Core i5-8259 in der Version mit 16GB RAM und 512GB SSD Festplatte gekauft, da ich einen Strom- und Platzsparenden Desktop Computer brauchte.

    Der Versand ging schnell und reibungslos und er Aufbau war sehr einfach. Das Netzteil und ein HDMI Kabel zum anschließen an einen Monitor sind im Lieferumfang enthalten gewesen. Das anschließen hat nur wenige Minuten gedauert und nach eine Viertel Stunde für Windows-Updates war der Rechner auf dem neusten Stand und einsatzbereit.

    Wer möchte kann dank VESA kompatibler Rückseite den Mini Pc an der Rückseite von Monitoren oder Monitorhalterungen anbringen und so einen augeräumten Arbeitsplatz ohne Kabelgewirr bekommen.

    Wegen des kleinen Formfaktors ist der Pc auch einfach einzupacken und auf reisen mitzunehmen. Z.B. im Hotel einfach an einen Fernseher im Zimmer anschließen und fertig ist der Arbeitsplatz unterwegs.

    Office Programme laufen alle ohne Probleme und dank der 16GB Arbeitsspeicher sind auch viele Tabs im Browser kein Problem. Ich habe bei 70+ Tabs (verteilt über 2 Chrome und eine Edge Instanz) keine Leistungsprobleme feststellen können.

    Es sit wirklich unfassbar wieviel Leistung heutzutage in so einem kleinen Gerät stecken kann. Ein Benchmark in Cinebench R23 hat 3947 Punkte ergeben. Wenn man bedenkt, dass der verbaute i5 Prozessor eine 28 Watt CPU ist, ist das ein beeindruckendes Ergebnis. Wir erreichen natürlich nicht das Desktop Pc Niveau an Leistung, aber man muss bedenken, dass dieser Prozessor auch nur 28W statt 70-100W an Strom verbraucht.

    Auch die Grafikeinheit, eine Intel Iris Plus 655, liefert solide Ergebnisse: Im Office Betrieb gibt es keine Probleme und ich konnte ohne weiteres 4K Videos streamen (CPU bei ca 30%, GPU bei 15-30%). Erst bei 8K Streams kam es zu Rucklern und stockendem Bildlauf da die CPU mit dem Stream überlastet wurde. Bei lokaler Wiedergabe war sogar die Wiedergabe von 8k HDR Videos problemlos möglich (CPU 12%, GPU 60-70%). Damit eignet sich dieser Mini Pc auch perfekt für eine Media Station.

    Wer die Hofunng hat Videospiele Splien zu können sollte seine Erwartungen allerding etwas bremsen. Fortnite z.B. lief nur auf 1080p unter niedrigen Einstellungen verlässlich. Kleiner Titel (vorallem 2D Spiele) waren aber i.d.R. kein Problem. Es ist eben keine Gamingrechner, aber für kleines zwischendurch reicht es aus.

    Ebenso dürfte es nicht verwundern, dass dieser Pc ehr weniger geeignet ist um große Videoschnitt Projekte zu stemmen. Aber auch hier kann man sagen, dass kleine Projekte durchaus realisierbar sind.

    Wer die Festplatte tauschen möchte, oder den Arbeitsspeicher erweitern will, kann dies ohne weiteres tun. Man muss nur auf der Unterseite des Gerätes 4 Kreuzschlitzschrauben lösen und hat sofort Zugang zu den RAM und M.2 SSD Steckplätzen.

    Mein Gerät ist ausgestattet mit 16 GB als 1x8GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM und einer Kingston 512GB. Eine Erweiterung des RAM auf 32 GB ist somit ohne weiters möglich.

    Aber nicht nur beim Speicher ist der Mini Pc vielseitig. Auch bei den Anschlüssen ist erstaunlich viel Vorhanden, vorallem wenn man die Größe des Gehäuses beachtet, das mit 2,75 litern extrem kompakt ist.

    Auf der Vorderseite befindet sich ein USB Gen 3.2 und ein USB Typ-C Anschluss mit denen Übertragungsraten von 20Gbit/s mglich sind. Dazu gibt es noch einen 3,5 Klinke Kombo Anschluss für Kopfhörer und Mikrophon und den Knopf zu Einschalten des Pc. Zudem sind auf de Front noch 2 Mikrofone verbaut, die zwar in Ordnung sind, aber bei Vollast des Rechners (z.B. in Spielen) das Rauschen des Lüfters deutlich mit aufnehmen.

    Auf der Rückseite ein Vielzahl an Ports: Ein Trommelstecker für die Stromversorgung, ein Mini Display Port, ein Mal Gigabit Ethernet, ein HDMI 2.0 sowie 2 USB Gen 3.2 und ein USB Typ-C Anschluss (jeweils mit 20 Gbit/s) wobei der Typ-C anschluss zusätzlich noch ein Dispaly ansteuern kann.

    Somit sind insgesamt 3 Displays direkt anschließbar bei maximal 4K@60Hz.

    Also für wen eignet sich dieser Mini Pc?

    Nun für alle die einen günstigen, aber starken, kleinen und stromsparenden Allzweck Pc brauchen kann ich eine Empfehlung aussprechen. Wer einen NASA Rechner erwartet, wird hier enttäuscht werden.

    Für den gegebene Preis ist dieser Mini Pc in meinen Augen ein gutes Angebot. Ausserdem funktioniert es Out-of-the-Box ohne das man technische Kenntnisse benötigt.

    Ich habe mir den GEEEKOM Mini Pc mit Intel Core i5-8259 in der Version mit 16GB RAM und 512GB SSD Festplatte gekauft, da ich einen Strom- und Platzsparenden Desktop Computer brauchte.

    Der Versand ging schnell und reibungslos und er Aufbau war sehr einfach. Das Netzteil und ein HDMI Kabel zum anschließen an einen Monitor sind im Lieferumfang enthalten gewesen. Das anschließen hat nur wenige Minuten gedauert und nach eine Viertel Stunde für Windows-Updates war der Rechner auf dem neusten Stand und einsatzbereit.

    Wer möchte kann dank VESA kompatibler Rückseite den Mini Pc an der Rückseite von Monitoren oder Monitorhalterungen anbringen und so einen augeräumten Arbeitsplatz ohne Kabelgewirr bekommen.

    Wegen des kleinen Formfaktors ist der Pc auch einfach einzupacken und auf reisen mitzunehmen. Z.B. im Hotel einfach an einen Fernseher im Zimmer anschließen und fertig ist der Arbeitsplatz unterwegs.

    Office Programme laufen alle ohne Probleme und dank der 16GB Arbeitsspeicher sind auch viele Tabs im Browser kein Problem. Ich habe bei 70+ Tabs (verteilt über 2 Chrome und eine Edge Instanz) keine Leistungsprobleme feststellen können.

    Es sit wirklich unfassbar wieviel Leistung heutzutage in so einem kleinen Gerät stecken kann. Ein Benchmark in Cinebench R23 hat 3947 Punkte ergeben. Wenn man bedenkt, dass der verbaute i5 Prozessor eine 28 Watt CPU ist, ist das ein beeindruckendes Ergebnis. Wir erreichen natürlich nicht das Desktop Pc Niveau an Leistung, aber man muss bedenken, dass dieser Prozessor auch nur 28W statt 70-100W an Strom verbraucht.

    Auch die Grafikeinheit, eine Intel Iris Plus 655, liefert solide Ergebnisse: Im Office Betrieb gibt es keine Probleme und ich konnte ohne weiteres 4K Videos streamen (CPU bei ca 30%, GPU bei 15-30%). Erst bei 8K Streams kam es zu Rucklern und stockendem Bildlauf da die CPU mit dem Stream überlastet wurde. Bei lokaler Wiedergabe war sogar die Wiedergabe von 8k HDR Videos problemlos möglich (CPU 12%, GPU 60-70%). Damit eignet sich dieser Mini Pc auch perfekt für eine Media Station.

    Wer die Hofunng hat Videospiele Splien zu können sollte seine Erwartungen allerding etwas bremsen. Fortnite z.B. lief nur auf 1080p unter niedrigen Einstellungen verlässlich. Kleiner Titel (vorallem 2D Spiele) waren aber i.d.R. kein Problem. Es ist eben keine Gamingrechner, aber für kleines zwischendurch reicht es aus.

    Ebenso dürfte es nicht verwundern, dass dieser Pc ehr weniger geeignet ist um große Videoschnitt Projekte zu stemmen. Aber auch hier kann man sagen, dass kleine Projekte durchaus realisierbar sind.

    Wer die Festplatte tauschen möchte, oder den Arbeitsspeicher erweitern will, kann dies ohne weiteres tun. Man muss nur auf der Unterseite des Gerätes 4 Kreuzschlitzschrauben lösen und hat sofort Zugang zu den RAM und M.2 SSD Steckplätzen.

    Die maximale RAM belegung sind 32GB (2x16GB). Für die SSD gibt es keine Beschränkung. Es werden bis zu 80mm lange Riegel unterstüstzt (das ist das gängigste M.2 SSD Format) und da für PCIe 3.0 SDDs keine Kühler nötig sind kann vermutlich jede möglich Festplatte genutzt werden.

    It's the tiniest wee powerhouse!

    This tiny unit replaces my 10 year old midi-tower desktop as it was time for an upgrade / downgrade: an upgrade on performance and a downgrade on size.  Although a very expensive powerhouse when built (I7, 20GB RAM, etc.) it was starting to be outperformed by newer mid-range units, it couldn't upgrade to W11 and it was just too bulky, too loud and too power consuming.

    Choosing a new computer and making sure you get the right one is a big deal - so I did quite a lot of research into processors, RAM, speeds, etc. to make sure I'd get a unit more powerful than my old one but still just as versatile without having to spend a fortune on it.

    I do most of my work in web design and photo editing so I need a machine that can perform in this area quickly and efficiently.  This one absolutely does the job.  It's remarkable for its tiny size.  Although it's "only" an I5-8259U processor it's still somewhat more powerful than my old I7-3820, and thanks to bus speeds, RAM, etc. generally having improved quite a bit over time, this machine is much faster overall.

    I looked at quite a few of the models currently available and was initially considering some of the fanless ones but they don't seem to have the power required, at least not if you're on a budget. I eventually concluded that this one was the best one suited to my needs; it's quite powerful, very quick, very small, very quiet and it's expandable and have plenty of connectivity.

    I upgraded to 32GB RAM right away as one can never have too much RAM and then chucked one of my existing SSD drives inside as well. My remaining drives are mostly for backup purposes, so I prefer using them on docking stations or via USB/SATA connectors as I don't want them plugged in all the time anyway.

    The initial upgrade was very simple compared to a normal desktop; simply remove the bottom lid, place the RAM in the slot, stick the SSD under the lid and put the lid back on .. et voilá, you're good to go.  And go it does. This unit literally boots (from off) to the login screen of W11 in 15 seconds - much faster than my old machine which would take about a minute to get there on W10. It loads Photoshop fully in a few seconds and starts Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and any other browser I use in about a second or two.  It's a nippy little thing!

    One of the most noticeable improvements so far is the much increased transfer speed between disks, thanks to USB 3. It takes virtually no time moving chunks of large photos between disks and also opening RAW files in Photoshop and Bridge happens infinitely quicker now, which is great when you do your editing "on the fly" for web design. It's very quick also when loading (and logging in and out of) various websites, the overall network connection / loading speed is great when you use browsers a lot.

    Changing from one version of Windows to another is always going to take some getting used to, mostly because of changes to the general interface and things looking slightly different. Moving from W10 to W11 is not a dramatic change though and I quite like it.

    I am staying away from tying the unit to Microsoft accounts and use local accounts instead. MS is keen to make you use their cloud but it's easy to set up the unit with local accounts and bypass all of that, just as it was on W10, so that's really nice and much more familiar to me to work that way. There's no bloatware on the machine either, it's a clean OS apart from the MS stuff that was also found in W10 and the majority of this is easily uninstalled or disabled if you like to optimize your Windows experience a bit. Overall setting up Windows is very easy on this unit - just do as prompted on first boot and you're literally up and running in a few minutes. You can then tailor it to your liking afterwards.

    As for the loudness, you can hear the fan going as the unit boots up but it settles down again quickly and becomes almost unnoticeable, even in quiet surroundings. It does come back on again when load increases like with any desktop or laptop but it's far from intrusive and I'm very happy with that as it was one of my bugbears and why I was considering a fanless unit to begin with. My old machine had a big CPU cooler fan and it was rather loud even when idle, so this is a massive improvement in terms of noise level and it's actually a lot quieter than I even dared hope for in spite of it having a fan - and it's great to be able to have it on top of my desk rather than having the big bulky tower underneath it.

    I have had this unit for 5 days now and I'm really impressed with it so far.  It does everything I want it to do, quickly and without any lag and it's overall a big step up in power and general performance from my old desktop - and at the same time it consumes much less electricity. It feels very solid and sturdy and not 'plasticky' like many other small units seem to be, the metal casing definitely gives it a good quality feel and it's very well built while at the same time easy to upgrade in spite of being tiny. It's built with branded components which gives you confidence in terms of both performance and longevity.

    Additionally, customer service has proven to be very good already - as I was unsure about which stick of RAM would match the one it came with I contacted GEEKOM support via email with the question on the evening of getting the machine. I had a reply the next morning and went and got one of the Kingston sticks they advised and it works as expected with no problems at all - so, with quick, efficient and hassle-free support to go along, I must say that choosing this unit has proven to be an overall very positive experience.

    If you're looking to upgrade from an older computer and want performance and a small form factor without spending a fortune, this unit is probably the best within its range and I'm happy to recommend it.  Very good value for money!

    Leider hatte es bei uns kurzfristig den Laptop gehimmelt und es musste Ersatz her.

    Kurzentschlossen schaute man sich einige Angebote zu Laptops und anderen Rechnern um. Als es einem plötzlich dämmerte, dass der Laptop bis zum Zeitpunkt seines ewigen ablebens nie seinen Standort verlassen hatte, fiel der Blick Richtung Mini PC / Shuttle PC.

    Ein großer stationärer Rechner kam hier nicht in Frage, da dieser mehr Platz + mehr Strom verbrauchen würde und zum anderen vermutlich nie ausgelastet werden würde.

    Die Wahl fiel somit auf einen Minirechner. Vergleicht man die Specs, sind die meisten mit gängigen Laptops vergleichbar, biten aber auf Grund des fehlenden Akkus, Displays etc. doch deutliche Preisvorteile.

    In Frage kamen ein Zotac (bereits als ESX / Proxmox Server im Einsatz) oder ein Intel NUC.

    Beide waren vom Preis Leistungsverhältnis zwar gut, boten aber fast schon wieder zuviel Leistung und waren damit teurer als der Geekom.

    Daher bestellt, konfiguriert und für gut befunden.

    kleine Nachteile gibt es. Der Lüfter dreht gerne mal kurz hoch, was man dann auch hört, wenn der kleine 1 Meter von einem entfernt steht. Der verbaute USB-Controller scheint nicht der beste zu sein, oder das Netzteil ist auf wenig Reserve ausgelegt. Schließt man eine externe 2,5" HDD (nicht SSD) und betreibt zeitgleich eine USB Maus / Tastatur-Kombi, muss man sich entscheiden was wichtiger ist...Maus/Tastatur oder doch der Datentransfer? Lustig...schließt man eine externe SSD mit höherem Verbrauch an (aber geringeren Verbrauch beim Anlauf) dann funktioniert alles wie es soll..

    Bleibt als Fazit. Für alltägliche Aufgaben wie Office, Buchhaltung, Surfen etc. mit etwas Bildbearbeitung (AcdSee) reicht der kleine allemal. Das der Stromverbrauch dabei um einiges geringer ausfällt, erfreut einen ebenso.

    Als Bürorechner für kleine Aufgaben jederzeit zu empfehlen.
