GEEKOM Mini Air11 NUC – Intel 11th Gen Celeron N5095, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 – High Performance Desktop Computer Mini PC

Product Information

But power users seeking a gaming rig, video editing machine, or a mini PC to use as a media server will want a beefier CPU. What’s more surprising is that this hardware was also beaten by the Minisforum NBP7, a system that uses the Core i7-13700H. The Anti-Dust Self-Cleaning System not only keeps the heatsinks clean but also efficiently ejects dust and other particles to prolong the system’s lifespan.

Quicker alternatives either use Intel Core i7 processors or AMD Ryzen processors, both with DDR5 memory. That’s not to say this isn’t a powerful machine, and it can be upgraded with extra memory and storage beyond the purchased SKU, but it can’t escape the underlying truth that it isn’t a desktop platform and doesn’t perform at that level. Available PCIe Slots: Mini PCs with limited or no available PCIe slots might pose a challenge for GPU installation. Not surprisingly, you'll see in the performance benchmarks below that the Geekom trailed a similarly configured Intel NUC Pro with an 11th Gen Core i5 processor, though to be fair it costs less than the NUC (when you factor in the cost of adding memory and an SSD to finish the latter) and did deliver competitive results.We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a PC's storage.

If it used more power, it probably wouldn’t be possible to fit this platform in an NUC-sized enclosure without overheating issues. Cost: High-end All-in-Ones can be on the pricier side, especially when compared to building a separate desktop with similar specifications. The explanation is that the AMD Ryzen 9 has a better GPU and some other performance enhancements that enable it to outperform the i9 in most tasks. The high-performance RAM allows you to switch between gaming, streaming, and web browsing seamlessly. If you can wait, the company tells us that updated models are in the pipeline, though it hasn't shared any details or pricing, so this IT8 Mini might still be a smart value.

Equipped with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, GEEKOM A5 delivers nice performance for image editing and smooth video montage. GEEKOM Mini IT11 has been rigorously tested for noise, vibration, drop and thermal shock to ensure it meets and exceeds the industry standards. Windows mini PC According to Statista of June 2022, Microsoft Windows is still the dominant PC operating system worldwide, with a market share of 76. Power Supply Constraints: GPUs demand power, and not all Mini PCs are equipped with a power supply sufficient to support a dedicated graphics card.
