Very compact mini desktop PC, easy to set up and works a wonder

I have been using this Geekom mini-PC for 2 months now and very pleased with the performance.It sits on a shelf at the bottom of my computer table. You can expand the memory and add a secondSSD drive. Super-fast performance from the 8th gen i5 CPU.Overall, a great value mini-PC for under £400.

It does all I want from a family pc. I attached it to the back of my monitor and now its tucked away out of sight. The disadvantage of doing this is when you need to attach a cable or turn it off its a bit awkward reaching behind. It randomly turns itself off when inactive which is a bit annoying but it doesn't happen that often. Overall a good buy as long as you don't expect too much like gaming or intensive workloads. Amazing for the size - not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes ! This review is after several months and its been fine.

This device packs quite a punch for the price and is well constructed.It is easy to replace the supplied NVMe drive with a larger one if you wish,I used a 1Tb NVME drive from Crucial. I then used Macricun Reflect to restore the partitions to the larger drive.I also added a 250Gb SATA III drive in the supplied case slot, which I use for the Download folder and Steam games.The RAM is also easy to upgrade I added a second 8Gb DDR4 sodimm to make 16Gb in total which acrivated dual channel memory mode.The supplied Windows 11 pro is easy to setup and I upgraded it to the latest 22H2 versionwithout any problems.I didn't find find the fan to much of a distraction but support did offer a BIOSupgrade to make it even quieter at the cost of some possible increase in unit temperature.The unit does no break a sweat on normal Internet, e-mail, youtube videos etc and evenplays some Steam games OK (but not the latest ones needing a high spec graphics card).I did find that my unit would not display video via the rear USB C DP port even after using multiple cables and monitors.The port did work correctly for plugged in data devices.After a number of diagnostic e-mails with support it was decided that the port was defective.Hats off to GEEKOM and the support team (special thanks to winnie) as they replacedthe faulty unit with a new one and that function now works perfectly.I have no hesitation in giving 5 stars and a thumbs up to GEEKOM and there support teamwho provided a 1st class service.

Bought the 256gb SSD and 8g memory version. I added another 8gb of memory and added my own1tb SSD from my old pc to the spare slot. It was quite easy to fit the upgrades. I switched on the Boxand it went through the Windows 11 set up with no problem. It is a genuine Windows 11 Pro and as far as I can tell no bloatware. Having all my old files on the 1tb SSD I had fitted it was no problem to set it up to my liking. All of my old apps work fine with no sign of any slow down. The graphics are very good and streaming video is perfect. Most of the time it is very quiet but when it works hard you can hear the fan.Its not loud enough to be annoying. The power saving compared to my old Tower system is tremendousI can't comment on Serious Gaming but the light gaming its ok. Overall a Very Good Buy
