Make an affordable mini PC even less expensive
In addition to having reviewed several Geekom mini PCs over the years, I've also previously written about how they're affordable while also being reliable and trustworthy, unlike some other shady mini PC brands out there.
They're affordable while also being reliable and trustworthy, unlike some other shady mini PC brands out there.
The Geekom IT12 in particular has a blue metal casing that puts me in mind of Doctor Who's Tardis, since, despite it being a compact device, its Intel i7-1280P processor still offers solid performance while being paired with capacity 32GB RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD.
What's more, this thing is loaded with ports. There are two USB-A ports on the front along with a headphone jack for easy reach. Then on the back, there are two HDMI ports, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and an ethernet port.
It even offers Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so all of your various accessory connection needs are met.
Like many other mini PCs, Geekoms are small and easy to tuck out of sight. Geekom makes this even easier, though, by supplying mounting plates in the box. That way, you can connect it to the back of a compatible monitor for a sleek and tidy desk.
