I’ve been using this mini PC for 2 months now, and it’s been incredibly reliable. I haven’t experienced any crashes or slowdowns, even when multitasking.and the customer service team was responsive to my inquiries
Geekom mini pc really is an amazing little box. Vesa mount plate provided to attach the mini pc to TV or monitor. You don’t need whole lot of space to setup. Boot speed is pretty quick, windows 11 pre-installed you just plug n play. It has 32gb ram and 1Tb storage. You can use wired or Bluetooth speaker, mouse and keyboard or you can use usb ports. HDMI ports for multiple monitors. You can upgrade the storage and Ram. It is fast in everyday use and online gaming or streaming. Build quality is very good and solid. Installation is very easy. Excellent product for the price. Definitely recommend.
My Mac-book Pro finally gave up after 13 years so when this was offered to me it was a must. I was amazed on how small this was and I was a little unsure how well this would perform, but do not under estimate how this Mini PC performs. I decided to go for a completely new set up, it was easy to attach to the monitor so it’s now out of sight. On switching this on I was very surprised how quick this starts up and operates. I have been using this for live streaming sports and mostly data sheets, and I cannot fault this in anyway, my daughter has been using this for online gaming and she has found this amazing in performance, it seems to cope very easy with any thing that we have thrown at it. You can find all the product info in item information. We have been super impressed with this powerful Mini PC and I have already recommended it to friends and family. Great specs great performance and for a great price, totally outstanding.
Review from my husband:
I’ve always had PCs since I was 20 and that was in 1994. It was a sodding huge beige affair boasting a 486 dx2 66mhz with 4 megabytes of ram and 250 mb hard drive which cost 1300 from Curry’s. I have now got a gaming tower with lots of bells and whistles that I thought were pretty good until my wife got this.
It’s literally smaller than a Tupperware tub and contains an amazing spec PC. AMD ryzens are the way forward for affordable high-end home computing. This is equipped with a very capable Ryzen 7 5800 h which has 8 cores which means it has 8 separate CPUs and 32gig of ddr4 ram!!! That’s mental.
It has vega onboard graphics which aren’t the best but ample for most daily uses if you won’t be playing AAA games. It also boasts a 512 GB NVME drive that’s solid state kids, no mechanics and glass disks here, so there is plenty of storage. Built-in wifi, Bluetooth, 6 x USB ports from USB A to C, 2 x HDMI ports for multiple monitors and the storage and RAM are upgradable if you need further storage in the future. It comes with an external PSU so that saves space on your desktop machine. To be honest it’s bloody fantastic and all for just 449? Would Apple do this? No, they wouldn’t. It looks better than Apple, it’s faster and is all-important cheaper. You can use this on your TV, a monitor or wherever you like. It’s truly portable, which is another string in its bow, and it’s all housed in a stylish rose gold housing so it looks great too. Oh and did I say it has Windows 11 pro already installed? Well, it does and its computing simplicity is truly fantastic and if you so desire top-of-the-range gaming, get an external GFX card caddy and then you’re on for top-notch gaming.
Really top stuff. 5/5 Buy one now! I’m jealous of this. I want one.
This Geekom mini pc really is an amazing little power box. I linked it up to my TV and it played media, tv and all the usual computer activities with complete ease and speed
The unit itself comes with a power lead and hdmi to hdmi cable. There’s also a back plate provided to attach the mini pc to the back of a TV or monitor in a permenant position so as to save space on the desk.
It comes with windows 11 already installed so when you set up and switch on windows 11 comes up on the screen immediately and takes you through the set stages then it automatically updates including internet security. On doing a full system check for malware and virus etc I found no nastiest hiding in this unit.
I plugged the unit into the main power outlet and connected the hdmi cable to the tv and the pc unit and then I powered on the pc. Then using the tv remote I changed the settings in the TV to hdmi connection and windows 11 immediately came up on the screen. I thought I would have to purchase a different hdmi cable as my tv is old and had been using the pin type hdmi for pc connection but the cable that comes with the mini pc works perfectly so I didn’t need to purchase a different one.
All I needed to do then was Change the TV settings to the speaker system I wanted to use via Bluetooth which showed up in the search immediately. You can use wired or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard as there’s usb sockets on the unit for these
Setting up is so easy, I am really impressed. I can’t believe how easy it was to set up. I was expecting an argument with the cables and a tantrum from the tv but nope.. everyone played nicely
I won’t repeat the technical information as it’s all in the sellers listing but I will say it’s a very good piece of kit. There’s also the ability to upgrade and extend the memory. It shows you how to do that in the instructions, however, I personally won’t need to as this unit is more than enough for my needs just as it is.
There’s a small blue light on the unit that flashes slowly while the unit is in use. If you find this distracting just turn the unit around so the light is out of vision. If you fix the unit to the back of your tv or monitor you won’t see the light anyway but at least it’s a sign the pc is working as it should.
Do I recommend this Geekom mini pc? Absolutely. It might be a little more expensive than some others available but you get what you pay for and you’re definitely getting your money’s worth here. My last pc I purchased was the same price as this yet this Geekom is far more powerful and unbelievably faster. To say I’m happy with this mini pc is an understatement.
I received this Mini PC and upgraded to the GEEKOM NUC i5 mini PC, and it’s a game-changer! The 12th Gen Intel i5-12450H processor delivers a whopping 8 cores and 16 threads, outpacing the previous 11th Gen i7-1165G7 by 79%. The speed is mind-blowing, with a boost of up to 4.4 GHz. Perfect for gamers, streamers, and content creators who demand top-tier performance.
The memory options are impressive — dual-channel DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM supporting up to 64GB, dual M.2 SSD slots, and a 2.5″ SATA HDD slot. Choose from a range of storage capacities for a personalized setup. Quad display support is a bonus, making multitasking a breeze.
Connectivity is where the NUC i5 shines. With Bluetooth v5.2, Intel Wi-Fi 6E, and 2.5GbE LAN, it ensures fast and stable data transfer. The variety of ports is a plus, including USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB4, HDMI 2.0, and more. Despite its power, the mini PC’s compact size makes it easy to fit anywhere.
I appreciate the technical support, Windows 11 Pro, and the One-Year limited warranty. GEEKOM has impressed me not just with its cutting-edge technology but also with its commitment to customer satisfaction. A definite must-have for anyone seeking a compact yet powerful desktop solution!
The images provided by the seller are accurate, so please refer to those where necessary.
This is an amazing computer for the price. Despite it’s small size, it packs a significant punch being able to run graphics intensive games or run many apps at once. The small size means it takes up so little space on a desk that you can easily hide it behind a monitor or place the computer on a small desk – it would be ideal for those in compact living situations, students being one good example where they may need a powerful device they can transport to and from university.
The device has all the ports you would probably need and is designed well so should be physically durable for a long period of time. It is quiet whilst running and was very easy to set up.
Highly recommended!
Excellent little PC for all your everyday tasks. It can even handle moderate loads.
This PC surprised me in how much I love it because of how small and portable it is. I travel a fair amount for work but have monitor arrangements everywhere I go. Usually, I would use a laptop like a desktop and have it permanently plugged in to my setup however this takes a similar size and weight and has a bit more power behind it which is ideal for me. Arguably, I lose the screen functionality but because I’m usually driving when travelling, I can’t use that part of the laptop anyway. Compared to a laptop, I also have a much wider choice of ports to connect my peripherals.
I don’t know if this is a good PC compared to other small form factor PCs but for me, it’s great.
I am not extremely technical person, but i do know some things about PCs as owned several in my lifetime.
I love how compact this PC is. Perfect for saving the space for other things.
It was very simple to start it ip.
Technical side of things, yes it does have most of the newest systems.
Very fast, doesn’t lag. Has Bluetooth inbuilt – it was very important to me as my accessories are all Bluetooth connections.
The only one negative point for me, might seem petty, but it does irritated me, is the little light at the front of the PC that just keeps flashing. So unnecessary. Could definitely be on the side or elsewhere or doesn’t exist at all. Just dont get the purpose if it. Very bright too.
Otherwise the PC is a good quality, well built.
I do recommend it.
The unit arrived very well package and presented and upon unwrapping, you’re immediately taken aback by just how compact this machine is. In fact, you’re left wondering why larger desktop units are neccessary. It’s made from sturdy plastic and metal and all of the connectors and sockets are very well attached and feel robust in use. It’s very tactile and impressive to behold. I like that there’s a VESA mount on the rear of the machine and you can obviously attach it to the back of your monitor, assmuming your monitor has this capability. Hook and loop pads could be used if it doesn’t.
I won’t regurgitate the specification of this PC as you can read all of that for yourself in the advert. Needless to say, despite the fact that it doesn’t have the very lastest generation of I7 processor, it’s still ridiculously fast in everyday use and equally as fast as anything else I’ve operated. I usually upgrade the RAM on my laptops if extra slots are available, but can see no personal benefit in doubling the RAM on this to 64Mb, nor adding an additional SSD. The USB, WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities are future-proof (at least for a while!) and definitely worth having. The Windows 11 Pro installation loads and runs as you’d expect and without any drama.
I’m struggling to find any down sides with this. If I was nit-picking then perhaps the sockets and plugs could be a bit more ergonomically arranged e.g. the power button would be a bit more accessible if it was on the top surface of the unit but really, after a bit of experience with the unit, you soon get used to the various location of things. I reckon this mini-desktop is excellent value. Even if you factor in the cost of a new monitor, keyboard etc, you still end up with a very cost effective and dynamic package for the price. Added to that, you have the versatility of the base unit and the ability to easily access and upgrade the componentry as, when or if required.
