Awesome! Thank you for always including a Linux portion in the review!

Great review! so many details. love it

I have 7 mini pc,s now i5 to i9 nuc and minsforum ,there really only good for office pc,s ,and they do a great job at that without having a huge tower taking up space.If someone is a game crazy person just build a big full size computer simple as that.

Great review keep it up as always Chris Sir

I clicked on the video because of the Amiga shirt. The Mini PC is useless with its Intel chip that's only good for thermal throttling and poor igpu performance .

Hi Chris, did you check the thermal paste of this mini PC ? it seems to be a problem as Smoorez showed. Thermals seem to get much better after applying new paste

What about if you got this and then a good egpu to plug in for gaming? Would like this for work

Could I plug in a LEPAI amp (+speakers) into the headphones jack?

Would it be good for CAT / architecture workflow?

we just got a SER7, and this thing out of the box is amazing. doesnt blink even on heavy load, games are smooth, no freakin noise. and great price. wtf?

I would love to buy the faster AMD w/graphics but I NEED the SDL slot so this may be the one for me.

Please can you do an unboxing & review of the TENWAYS AGO T. It's a new City eBike that looks incredible for the price. I hope you're keeping well. 🙏

I almost purchased this unit, bit very glad i watched your review. I'm debating purchasing thr Asus pn64 with the i7 12700h processor. That one comes with ddr5 ram and should have more bios support.

skimping on the cooling like this without the size and weight constraints of a notebook, i just don't get it does geekom hope customers just read "i9" and go and buy it? thanks as always for the review chris 🤙

how does this compare to the geekom as6?

the mac mini cant even handle cooling efficiently what made you think this thing could?

Thanks for the amazing review. Why not choose the Topton version of this? It has DDR5 RAM but I am quite curious if it will have the same thermal throttling issue.

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your wonderful video and explanation. I was thinking about buying this mini pc, and I needed a sincere opinion about it. If it is possible please, could you recommend to me a mini pc that I can use for 3D Cad design purposes (Inventor, Solidworks), programming purposes and gaming (probably the maximum I would like is a good emulation of ps3, not something so sophisticated). Thank you so much in advance.

I knew there is something amiss with an i9 on this size of a unit. Turns out they use exactly the same parts on their i5 CPU variant, changing nothing on the i9 variant. I believe the ASUS ROG ally handheld console can go up to 45 watts, some x86 gaming consoles can go up to 55 watts of TDP. you are right about having undervolting in the bios settings as Intel/AMD use plenty of power where it is possible to use less.

holy this is impressive

TechTablets ! , Thanks Much !.......

Chris, are you planning to review the Pixel 8 Pro?

Can you try LRC Denoise? How fast will it process? My pc 4th Gen intel now doing 11mins, thinking of upgrading to newer gen intel. Thanks.

Hello TechTablets, I need some advice. I am sending back my IT13 i9 because of the outrageously loud fan (Is this normal for this model? And having no access to the UEFI BIOS mode to change it, believe me I've tried to access this but there is no tab where it should be?) For the money what do you suggest in any brand you've tested and have lived with that is a better alternative? Thanks.

I will be running protools 12 music software with this unit. Should I be ok?

I am looking for a mini pc for youtube video editing. Obviously nothing professional grade. The and overall prices are appealing to me. Dedicated fullsize units are way out of touch with my pocket book. How would something like this work for that purpose?

Considerations Before Purchasing This Computer: Firstly, the cooling system is a notable concern, as the fan is not sufficiently effective in dissipating heat. This limitation results in the CPU being thermally throttled to approximately 35 watts, leading to reduced processing speeds. Additionally, despite the CPU's compatibility with DDR5 memory, this computer is equipped with DDR4 RAM. This is a significant factor as DDR4 is 50% slower than DDR5, potentially impacting overall performance.

Still waiting for a *13980hx* based mini-pc ⚡

How is this different from the System76 Meerkat mini PC 13th Gen Intel CPU 2023 ?!

Haha I knew there was going to be catch and then yeah, "watt" a disaster! (pun absolutely intended ;) )

Hi all, what is the best mini PC for video encoding 8k

Intel chip has become non compatible with AMD on gaming, but still okay for normal task. The thermo throttling are a very big issue.

its having streaming issue with sound

Powerful than my PC lol.

2 issues: no DDR5 RAM and no HDMI 2.1 port. Otherwise, great for programmers and finance professionals that want a home setup. Add in an LG 27-inch QHD monitor.

Its size is really dragging its performance for all its raw processing potential.

Can we upgrade the ram to a DDDR5 ?

I'm guessing the issue is the graphics card prices...for 12gb $1000😅

iI bought one a couple of days ago, and it constanbtlky crashes and tries to repair its self, taking sometimes hours (if your lucky) to do so. Basically all you get is a black screen. . I have lost over £700 on this. Its a disaster. I can't recommend it at all.

I've been emailing Geekom support for 3 months now for a crapped out fan - I wouldn't recommend anything geekom unless you are ready to put with a fight for replacing crap parts

I talked to Geekom and they told me it will NOT support DDR5...

so better to order the DDR5 version

It would be great if you use external graphics. Iris Graphics is a garbage than Ryzen Graphics.

Only HDMI 2.0 ? Shame.

Yikes you cannot even turn on the virtualization technologies by the looks of it. That's a pretty big con.

price of mini pc is more than a laptop with th same power.

i9 being so capped that scores on cinebench are lower than an i5

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This looks like a unit that could have been really good if they designed it better in many areas, but instead it is very meh design with a very meh result. Yeah, nah, try again!

after watching the entire video not so impressive.

all minis are way overpriced!
