Ive got some camera software that really utilizes CPU cycles. I got this PC to replace one that couldnt handle new cameras and its working great.

This is a great din size mini computer. Everything for windows 11 pro checked out and worked as expected. Overall a great buy for an i5 mini computer.

I had a lot of hopes for this mini PC and it met or surpassed all of them. I’m used to working with Linux and OSX and haven’t touched a Windows machine in 15 years, but some of the programs that I need to work with are optimized for Windows and this was an affordable option.The speed, memory and graphics card are all very good. Getting it set up was much easier than I remembered for Win boxes. The small size means that it can easily fit on a desk, or attach to the back of a monitor (parts are supplied). The fan noise is almost unnoticeable. I can’t report on using it for gaming, because it’s not a priority and I haven’t tried it yet. If you are a regular Windows user the supplied Win 11 interface will be comfortable for you, but I’m still learning it - it’s changed since my last exposure. While the initial cost is low, you will have to supply the monitor and other peripherals

Its a great little machine. Hooked it onto the back of a monitor with a supplemental vesa bracket.The fan noise was high when under load and it cut into the audio of zoom meetings which was very frustrating. I contacted Geekom and they sent a bios update that changed the fan speed and now it is MUCH better. Unclear whether that will decrease the lifespan by running the fan slower, or whether the initial fan control was overkill. Time will tell! All in all a good buy after the bios modification.

The Geekom IT8 Mini PC is a nice, compact mini PC with a bit of umph! Great for minimalist desk builds.

My family of gamers is thrilled with this Geekom mini PC! It is plug and play with extremely easy set-up! It has 3 USB ports (1 front, 2 rear), 1 USB-C port, headphone jack, and SD card slot. This little guy is powerful and has a fast processor! It is upgradable to 1TB SSD memory but so far, we’ve only used it as-is and don’t yet need additional memory.

I ordered this to use for stock trading. This turned out to be much better than anticipated. Im a bit of a tech geek, so one of the first things I did was open it up to see whats under the hood. I discovered that both the SSD (Hard Drive) and memory RAM are Both upgradable. There are two slots for RAM, which one slot is already occupied with what comes with the Mini PC. I plan on upgrading the RAM for sure. Also, there is a separate slot on the inside of the back cover for a laptop hard drive. I have an old 750gb hard drive from a laptop that will hook up and fit perfect.

Attach to a TV and it can be used for adding smart functions or as a large monitor for surfing. It has plenty of processing power for surfing and light gaming, but wont perform well for much more than that. For a small package, it has a lot of potential.

Hard to believe the computing power Im getting from this tiny machine.

I really like mini-PCs and have used several of them around my house as HTPCs on the televisions in my living room, bedroom, etc. I also like to use them as Linux boxes for things like Asterisk, etc. They can also be useful as small desktop replacement boxes, especially when VESA mountable. This specific mini PC has a lot of good things going for it and has a lot of features, but it also has a few things that I rather dislike.
