Excellent mini computer

I recently purchased this wonderful, small and mighty computer. It comes with Windows 11 Pro built in , the latest Bluetooth, all cables and plugs. Plenty of USB connections as well as HDMI and PLAYPORT. It is great for gaming, working from home and represents great value for the money. It is really compact and well made. I would highly recommend it.

Phenomenal size/power ratio

I’m very pleased with my A6. It replaced a hulking great tower PC without any loss of speed or function. The only advice I would offer to future purchasers is that you will need to plan your desk-space carefully -the sole advantage of a tower system is that there is plenty of room to hide cabling behind it. My A6 is so compact that it is dwarfed by the amount of cabling around it.

Really Impressive for its size !

Early days, but so far I have been really impressed with the Geekom A6 mini-computer. Compared to my old Dell PC which was around 6 years old, it is fast with loads of possible connections including HDMI, USB, card reader, etc. Very stylish and looks great sitting on my desk.

Great mini PC

I have had the PC for just over 2 weeks now and I am very happy with it. I have owned a laptop the last 15 years and have decided to make a switch to a PC but did not want the bulkiness of a massive computer for my small living space. The A6 is great for regular tasks like using the Microsoft office suite but it is also really good for playing games like The Sims 4 (which was the main reason for me choosing this specific PC). There only some odd things I found with it where the PC will turn on by itself (I might have managed to get this fixed in bios the other day) and when I shut it down the PC will turn itself back on immediately and I have to go to the shut down menu again. Although I haven’t had any problems with it, windows 11 is a great interface and the PC supports a high refresh rate and is compatible with many devices like wireless keyboards, mouse, headset. . you name it, you can connect anything to this mini machine. The set up was very easy and the instructions were clear. Overall I definitely recommend it if you are looking to make a switch to a PC from laptop or simply looking for a new daily computer.

Brilliant little machine!

Absolutely pleased with A5 mini. Perfectly for my light workload. Start-up is almost instant and works like a breeze. Excellent space saving on my relatively small desk.

Amazing

I purchased 2 x IT13 13th Gen i9 32GB RAM 2TB SSD. The fan is so quiet I cannot hear it at all. The speed of everything is amazing. Extremely happy with everything from ordering through to installing and using. The build quality is great too and I just love the way it mounts on the back of the monitor without cables hanging everywhere.

GEEKOM A8

I finally decided to upgrade my old PC, as it struggled to manage the latest photo edit software that I use. This pc sits on a very small footprint and easily outperforms my old machine. I received it quickly with delivery in two days. There are plenty of ports on the PC, so I have no problem connecting it to the various devices such as my monitor, camera etc. It does occasionally have a noticeable whir when the cooling fans go into overdrive. Although it doesn’t bother me.

A small and powerful PC

I was looking for a small and powerful PC and I definitely found what I was looking for. So far I am very enthusiastic about the Mini PC, the connection options are very diverse and more than enough for most people. I use the Mini PC with a USC C docking station to which I have 2 monitors connected. This PC is perfect for all the tasks I have been working on. Some games can also be run without any problems. I would buy a GEEKOM Mini PC again any time.

A tiny powerhouse

In the past, I have always used large desktop computers , due to the number of programs/apps I had on them, and what they needed to do. in addition to graphic design, I do some podcasting, which involves audio editing. The ability to do that with something smaller than a portable DVD player is truly Amazing! The PC came with some accessories to add to the TV, but I am not able to comment on that since my TV is not compatible. My set up took about an hour or 2, including loading everything and transferring stuff over, and setting it up the way I wanted it. My smaller PC is much quieter than my larger one. It makes only minor noise that pales in comparison. It is attached to 2 portable drives, and so far I haven’t experienced any major problems. Only 1 con: although I use a few attachments, my hub is not positioned in the most comfortable manner. In order to attach things without the cords being skewed, I will need to think about placement, or maybe get a hub with a longer lead. So far I am pleased with this little PC. It is seriously on my mind to get one for overseas, but I am concerned about the humid climate and the metal’s susceptibility to corrosion. It would be great if they thought about how these little pc’s could work in humid climates if and when they upgrade them.

This Mini really is mini.

I bought this for space saving as my old PC (that I built myself about 14 years ago) was crashing all the time, but, it was a great lump of a box. The Geekom Mini worked straight away no problem. Quiet. Fast enough for what I need. I wondered about not having a twin RAM set up but it seems fine. The great thing is you can pick it up and look at the sockets without having to lie on the floor to find the damn things. Haven’t run into any problems yet. Don’t know why I should be surprised, technology has moved on – influenced no doubt, by the power of mobile phones which are even smaller. P. S. I am not a total Geek so can’t say much more but I am a fan of the Geekom.

Mini PC with massive ability

Straight from the box, this mini PC is extremely impressive. It took minutes to unpack, connect to a screen and setup. Simplicity itself. Speed and noise (or lack of) when in use is almost frustrating. I cannot recommend it enough. Thanks GEEKOM

Upgraded my Main Workhorse Tower Computer

I decided it was time to update my 7 year old i7 tower, and after loads of research I opted for this tiny A5. I was a bit skeptical, but it has impressed me. I added in a 2 TB SSD, and have three screens attached, 2 32″ monitors and a 19″ in portrait mode, It runs CorelDraw easily and it is so much faster than my tower was. Highly recommended.

Neat Mini PC

My Geekom Mini Pc arrived in a timely fashion. It came in a small box with another box containing the PC and ancillaries. It was quick to set up and worked straight from the box. It easily drives a Ultra HD 4K monitor.

Excellent piece of kit

Going to be honest, too a bit of a flyer buying this, as my laptop was not coping with my new bigger screen. I also did not want a huge tower PC taking up space. All I can say is I dont regret buying this. Not only does it look great (nice neat desk) its quiet, and it packs a punch my video editing is faster and multitasking it not a problem.

GEEKOM GT1 MEGA MINI PC

I am really happy with my purchase from Geekom. The pc arrived in excellent packaging. It was really easy to setup, and for it’s size is really fast and reliable. Don’t think I can play any of the latest released games – but for editing photographs – it is excellent. Many thanks.

Great Device - Great Value

I’ve only had it set up and running for a few days but so far I’m very impressed with the performance. The lack of bloatware is a bonus too. I’ve only had to strip out unwanted Windows 11 stuff.

It took some time to set up, but it now works perfectly. It’s blazing fast and fully functional, and switching between two monitors is easy.

Replacing a tower PC

It is time to move to this form factor, now that cabling and ports are fast enough to cope with any sensible need for more hard drives, DVDs or graphics upgrades. OK I’m not a gamer, and don’t watch a lot of video, but I do do a lot of programming and file management. It’s so quiet!

Great gaming computer

Great gaming computer for my 10 and 12 year olds. Ordering was quick and easy and the computer was delivered in 2 days. It worked well and runs apps like Roblox and Minecraft seamlessly. It’s only tiny so fits in any space but does come with a mounting bracket should you wish to attach it to a wall. I would highly recommended this computer and company.

Nice!

Was looking for something small yet powerful enough for my music work and am impressed with this. Thought I might add another 32GB of RAM but I don’t think I need to, this is just so responsive and am so far very impressed. Had a few wee issues with Windows updates but that was quickly resolved.

New Mini PC

I had been thinking about buying a mini PC for some time and after reading a number of reviews in the magazine “Computer Active” it appeared that GEEKOM are able to supply well put together reliable machines. Computer Active current favourite mini PC is the GEEKOM A8 and they recently reviewed the new GEEKOM GT1 Mega noting that it was a bit more expensive than the A8 but had an Intel processor and a fast 2TB SSD. Their conclusion was that if you want to stick with Intel and can afford the extra “you won’t be dissapointed”. At the start of December 2024 I made the decision to order the GEEKOM GT1 mega. . . Unfortunately I had a bit of a wait for delivery – however GEEKOM kept me informed and managed to prioritise delivery of my new machine at the start of January 2025. I can say that I have not been disappointed. For such a tiny machine the performance is top of the class. OK so it cannot quite match the performance of the monster PC I assembled a couple of years ago – but that has a full size Intel processor, separate graphics card, ultra-fast SSD and 32gb of memory. . . However the GT1 comes close, is a fraction of the size, cost 50% less and consumes a fraction of the energy! It also comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and ready to go. I am looking forward to testing the GT1 to its limits over coming weeks. . . Oh, and it is so small it fits under my worktop and nobody knows it is there!

Without any problems.

The performance of the device is completely sufficient for multiple uses. The cooling works as expected. Even under load, the mini PC only gets slightly warm. Of course, you can hear the fans more often, and since this is a PC that is usually on top of a table instead of under it, the noise is also more noticeable. However, this did not bother me very much. If you mount it behind a monitor with the included Vesa mount, you won’t hear much here either. I mainly use it to make music with Maschine 2. The software runs smoothly and with low latency under the included Windows 11 Pro. In addition, I tried games such as No Man’s Land or Return to Monkey Island. These also ran without any problems.

First mini PC

Arrived in 2 days and set up was relatively easy. Slight issue with Windows 11 which decided to hide an entry pop-up screen when setting up as an user. Solved with on-line search for Windows 11 set up issues. As I said this was not a Geekom issue. Device is running cool and it takes so little space compared to the desktop PC it replaced. Recommended!

Small and fast PC. Great value for money! Also suitable as a home server or gaming PC for TV

I originally bought the Mini PC for a family member who wanted to buy a small PC to browse and use Office applications. However, he changed his mind. I had already unpacked the device at this time to set it up beforehand. I liked the Mini PC very well and was very good at setting it up, so I decided to keep it for myself. The packaging of the individual Mini PC (a small box) made a very good impression, the device was well presented. The cables provided were carefully packed in the box, and there was even a small card included with a thank you note and information (see unboxing video). I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the PC, it was smaller than expected.

Hit the Jackpot!

I am delighted with my purchase of the Geekom A6. It is perfect for my requirements with the added bonus of working with my existing Lenovo A740 AIO monitor using HDMI in. The stylish Geekom A6 is a great match for the monitor and it looks like it is meant to be. Performance is sparkling, as you might expect considering the spec, (32Gb DDR5 RAM, AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, 1TB SSD). Running multiple downloads and installations, whilst using Affinity Photo to edit some images was a breeze. Setup is simple. Instructions are limited to a couple of diagrams, but just connect mains and monitor and switch it on. A few minutes spent understanding what the ports are capable of is worth doing. I love the fact it has an integrated SD card, loads of USB ports and 2 x HDMI. The Geekom mini hub gives even more flexibility. Not many laptops can better that! Windows 11 has some changes to find out about, but also appears to be significantly better integrated with Apple devices, so that photos can be merged with windows apps. This is perfect for me as I have an iPhone and Ipad. The Geekom A6 has exceeded my expectations ad after hesitating for many months over what to buy, (laptop, desktop, mini pc etc), I feel I have hit the jackpot!

Our second A5 Mini

This is so much better than the big black box sitting in the floor. Neat as anything could be, this little wonder is just great for our everyday surfing, banking, photos, email etc and it suits us just great. We are 70’s pensioners and do not play games or watch streaming channels on our PC’s. We use a small DVD player to load some programs onto it and that plays music CD’s too. There are third party (free or inexpensive) Office Suites etc available on the net to buy or download, so signing up for a monthly subscription can be optional. It works just fine for us.

Delighted with Geekom A5 Mini

My wife has been using a very old laptop for many years and it needed replacing. She rarely took the laptop out of the house, so I persuaded her to get a separate PC and monitor. As I have owned a Geekom IT 11 for a while and been very happy with it, I suggested a Geekom A5 Mini. She is delighted with her new computer set up, and now pleased she didn’t replace the old laptop with a new one.

Arrived 2 days after ordering. Came with windows 11 installed, but I decided to load linux mint (cinnamon Xia) instead. Once I’d discovered how to find the boot menu this was quick and easy, and everything worked straight off including wireless, printer and speakers. It seems very fast with the linux, but I’m in only using it as a home computer for browsing, emails and suchlike. So far (less than a week) I’m very pleased with it.

Small but perfectly formed

I bought my A5 Mini PC to use as a Plex media server. I was hesitant about moving from Intel to AMD, but I needn’t have worried – it easily outperforms the full-sized I7 that it has replaced, with the same memory configuration. The added bonus is that I now have a USB-C port to connect my external RAID array. The biggest bonus of all is that it fits neatly and unobtrusively behind the TV! All in all I am extremely happy with my purchase!

It’s not always about size

The GEEKOM AMD Ryzen 9 mini PC really shines when it comes to performance, especially given its compact size. It’s one of the quickest machines I’ve encountered in the mini-PC range, with snappy performance thanks to the powerful Ryzen 9 processor. I specifically purchased it to run local AI models, and installing Arch Linux and Ollama was seamless. Running the Llama3 (8b) model with Ollama worked perfectly, showcasing the machine’s capability to handle intensive tasks. The cooling system performs well, though the fan does ramp up to a noticeable level under GPU-heavy workloads. While it can get warm during prolonged tasks, the system managed the heat effectively, never reaching a critical level. For anyone needing a capable machine without requiring a full-size tower, this is an excellent compromise, offering a solid balance of power and portability.

Good Value and performance.

First off. This is packaged in one of the BEST padded boxes anyone can make. The actual computer is very nice. Worked perfectly out of the box. Good performance. Small light. Runs cool. I teamed it up with a touch screen portable monitor so if needed it can travel. For anyone using a laptop but they really don’t move about this is the device to replace it with.

Top Quality and Performance!!!

Purchased two of these, both with Win 11 Pro, for the purpose of running video security software. Graphics are outstanding, as is the speed. No burps or hiccups, like I usually experience with that large “L” named computer manufacturer…setup was a little time consuming (more of a function of the operating system and updates that needed to be downloaded and installed), but after setup was complete, these babies were running smooth and fast!!! I cannot get over the performance/size of these computers – AMAZING!!! Love them, and you will too, I am confident that they will give us many years of reliable use. Oh, one more thing, the packaging is awesome, very impressive!!! I am not going to throw away these boxes, they are quite nice, and are appropriate for the quality of the product. Like I say “Its all in the delivery…”

COMPUTER LIKE LIGHTNING

After years of struggling with a sluggish HDD laptop running Windows 10, and another that ran Windows 11 and resembled a snail on tranquillisers, I realised that things couldn’t go on like that. Both laptops took more than five minutes to boot up and the Windows 11 laptop required another 50 minutes to become usable. Eventually I decided to take the plunge and buy this Geekom SDD mini computer, hoping it would make a difference. Make a difference?! Wow, it has, on steroids. This tiny marvel boots up in 10 seconds and becomes usable instantly. And as for speed while in use, it makes Usain Bolt look like the snail I mentioned earlier. Choosing this computer was the best hi-tech decision I ever made. I’m now saving up to buy an identical machine to replace one of the laptops. I’d never heard of Geekom before but saw a good review of their computers in Computeractive magazine, and the price for a mini SDD computer running Windows 11 Professional and with 32gb of RAM was extremely reasonable compared to the price I’d be asked to pay for bigger-name brands. I can only say that if you’re undecided, do what I did and take the plunge. I haven’t regretted it and neither will you.

Mini IT13

I was not sure which PC and chipset to go with initially, as I wanted the best I could afford but it had to be able to cope with 4 screens. I settled on the Mini IT13 and hoped for the best. The communication was excellent and the delivery was within their stated time – so far, so good. Setting it up was a breeze – it worked perfectly form the start and it is much quicker than I thought it would be! A brilliant little computer with amazing speed and power. I have my screens set up as two on top and two at the bottom and I love the fact that I go go from either bottom screen to the top screen without having to start at screen 1 and then go either left or right through all of the screens to get to screen 4.

Transition to next generation IT

I have a standard size tower mesh PC with windows 10, Office 2019, etc. Decided to buy this mini PC, a KVM switch and Office 2021 to progress fairly seamlessly onto next generation personal computing.

Very good mini-PC

I’ve been using a Chromebox for a couple of years but recently decided to replace it with a Windows Mini PC. The Geekom IT13 appeared to be the best option. It is excellent overall and there is only one thing that slightly disappoints – the noise of the fan. I would have expected a much quieter device but understand that it needs cooling much more than my Chromebook.

So much power from so small a device.

Having read that the Geekom Mini IT3 was the recommended best buy in the computer magazine I regularly read, and having the need for a new computer, I decided to buy it. It took only 13 days to arrive. When I opened the package I was amazed to see such a small device, and yet, once I had connected it up and loaded it with my apps, I was even more amazed at its power and speed. My previous desktop pc was 11 years old and showing its age, so it was natural for a much more modern pc to seem a lot faster, but I hadn’t expected there to be so much difference. Because a lot of the software I had on my old pc was supplied on DVDs, I had to buy an external optical drive. Additionally I found that the two USB sockets on the front of the box were too close together for two memory sticks to be plugged in side by side, so I also bought a USB hub, But that’s all I needed to buy. I would definitely recommend the Geekom Mini IT3 to anyone who needs to update their computer with a compact but powerful replacement.

Great PC with a nice clean Windows installation!

Had this for a couple of weeks now and so far, so good. This PC is great and comes with a cleanly installed version of Windows out of the box. There is fan noise comparable to other PCs with similar sized fans (small fans = faster speed needed to achieve cooling = slightly noisier), so just be aware if buying this, i see some people in other reviews expect this to be silent and it’s not the case – cooling has to happen, to get quiet cooling you need large spaces with large fans moving slower which clearly isn’t possible here. Amazing little PC, so happy with this purchase and a real workhorse machine which is able to achieve incredible feats considering it’s size! The amount of features packed into this little box is brilliant, it really does do everything – no compromising on ports or on functionality. I stream and am a heavy multitasker and it can handle this brilliantly.

Powerful Mini Beast

You’d be paying twice, perhaps 3 times as much for a same spec workstation/laptop. Like most people trying to eek out there bang for buck, I opted to try the i9 option. It runs steam games adequately. It loads adobe products quickly, but the reason I purchased it outside of the previously mentioned, was to set up a lab environment. I’m giving 5 stars just on the basic testing. Hope it pays dividends for running labs. Watch this space I guess.

IT13 - Mini power house

For these specs, I am surprised at how compact this mini pc is. I use this as a home office pc and it’s extremely powerful with a mega quick bootup time. The added SD card slot is a nice touch and all the i/o ports serve their purpose. Would’ve liked DDR5 but I think the board supports it should I want the upgrade. If you want to game on this, I recommend getting an EGPU otherwise the IT13 should exceed your needs. Impressed!
