After much research I bought a GEEKOM Mini it11 as a replacement for my ageing laptop pc. I have been looking at the mini pc format for a while as it is the ideal size for the limited desk space I have available. The Geekom IT11 has a great spec for my needs: Photography/Videography, and general home office working. I’m not a gamer and so cannot comment on how good it would be for that.
This pc is tiny and quite literally sits in the palm of my hand and I don’t have particularly big hands. It fits so neatly on my desk beneath my monitor and so far runs almost silently. The fan noise in normal use is barely perceptible and non-intrusive. 32gb RAM is more than sufficient for my usage at present, but it is reassuring to know that I can easily upgrade to 64gb if necessary in future. the i7 processor and 1Tb SSD means a fast boot-up time and plenty of storage built in. I’m investigating adding a 2.5inch disc or SSD into the empty slot in the base of the machine to increase my built in storage for photo’s and videos. I also use a NAS and cloud storage for this so as to provide multiple back-ups.
Connectivity is fantastic for a pc of this size. I currently use one monitor but it will apparently support up to eight monitors! I’ve added a powered USB hub as I have a lot of external devices needing USB connection.
Build quality is very good and the unit feels solidly constructed. I am altogether delighted with this mini PC so far and have not had to call on the apparently excellent Technical Support Geekom provide.
Would I recommend the Geekom Mini IT11? Absolutely, but make sure the spec meets your needs particularly if you are into Gaming.
I bought the mini PC to replace a 5 year old laptop. I wanted to work with a bigger screen.
The size of the box and the Intel i7 spec is amazing
Bought as a replacement for my laptop which was creaking under the strain of what I was asking, I always have access to external monitors so don’t need the inbuilt screen, this does everything I ask of it and without any complaint. It’s super light and so easy to move around. Can’t see me buying another laptop any time soon.
The launch speed of the PC is rapid and the operation is silent. I love the tiny size of this, although I have also had to add a four-port USB hub to get everything I need to be plugged in. This is to accommodate 2 external disks I have (backup and previous data) and I am running 2 monitors, a 4K monitor and an XP-pen drawing tablet. All of this runs at high speed with no lag or any other problems.
All in all, I am totally impressed with my Geekom mini PC.
Set it up in the first week of Dec 2022, and I must be honest I was well impressed. However, at the beginning of March, just 4 months afterwards, I started to hear strange noises – at first I thought it was racing bikers in the distance, as I live in a rural area, and we get a lot of speeding bikers in the area. But the noises I heard were at strange times of the day…. Further investigation showed the noises were coming from the Mini PC.
So I contacted Geekom via their website, as it was the only way at first, expressing my concerns. They offered to replace the unit, which I accepted…. They gave me instructions regarding its return, which I followed to the letter, and promised to refund the 45 plus for the postage, they stated that providing them with proof of postage & a copy of the shipping label would ensure the replacement would e sent out within 2 days.
This never happened – I was asked for all the documents, including the one which showed the item had arrived and signed for at the address they gave me. To cut a very long story short, I received many, many requests for the documents I had sent many times!
I was getting worried – would I ever get back the 640 back? Luckily Karen He from HQ got involved, and after her intervention things started to get going – I was offered a replacement, but with half the RAM and SSD capacity of the model I returned! This of course I turned down and asked for a full refund, there were further issues, but eventually Karen got them sorted out. What should have taken 2 days turned out to be 2 weeks of constant daily emails.
The only reason I have given 4 stars is because of Karen He customer service, otherwise it would have been 1 star for the stressful experience, by the way I involved Amazon when I was getting financially concerned, and they were useless. It goes without saying that I would never buy or deal with Geekom again, based on my experience.
Never bought a mini PC before, but this is super fast and super small!
Arrived quickly, packaged well, and setup was a breeze. Make sure you also get a USB hub for your peripherals as there are few ports (but that’s the same for all mini PCs, so not a negative here).
Overall, great little PC and really tempted to get another!
