Ive used the Mini IT8 for a little over a month now, and I have been very pleased with its performance. My demands on it are not great--I am not a gamer (which is why I didnt rate it for gaming) and Ill never use it for video editing. I use it for streaming (about 40%+ of the time), browsing (50%+), with most of the remainder for email. So far, it has performed flawlessly. Although the processor it uses was introduced in 2018, I probably wouldnt notice any performance improvement if it used the latest Core I5 processor (of if I did, it wouldnt make any difference to me). It also operates quietly, with no apparent fan noise. It was extremely easy to set up and I havent had a need for tech support (hence no rating there, either).

TL/DR: I’m very satisfied so far.

I got this Mini Computer, GEEKOM Mini IT8 Mini PC with i3-8109U(Up to 3.6 GHz) to review. Ive reviewed a couple of Mini PCs recently and this one has a good GPU performance. Here is the review.

It has an Intel i5, 8th generation CPU, so it does its job very well. I went for the larger model with 16Gb of RAM and a 512 SSD. in daily use its pretty responsive, always runs smoothly on the internet, and downloads forms smoothly. And it also has integrated dual-band WIFI as well as Bluetooth.

Quality package, quiet easy to upgrade mem and disk. Graphics weak for minimal gaming

Absolutely did not expect it to run as well as it does because it’s so CHEAP. I run high graphic games on it such as GTA V and Fortnite and it handles it with 15-20 ping at all times. This has been one of the best purchases I’ve made and doubt almost any $1000 desktop pcs can come close to it. I’ve shopped around markets and bought many pcs in my life, this has been the best by far. It is amazingly portable and I will be using this for the rest of my life.

Bought 2 of these; very nice! second one I mounted with the included VESA mount plate on the back of my monitor. Dont know if its coupling of the box to the monitors backside, or the way the fan is oriented when hanging on its side, but the fan is annoying. If I just set it on the desk, its much better. Plus,hanginng on the VESA makes it difficult to access stuff like the SD card slot. Came down $100 between purchases. Works great, but I still hate W11

Among the numerous mini-PCs that I’ve worked with, the MiniAir 11 places near the top. It ultimately falls short of perfection, but this tiny computer is still very much worth consideration, with three caveats: It’s not the fastest N5095-based system out there, it doesn’t support automatic power-on, and you might need to troubleshoot and/or reinstall the OS.

Great from factor here. Vesa mounting is possible which is great if you want to mount the PC. We are using the PC for our children. They web browse, use office, and do school work. It will even play Roblox, but this is by no means a gaming PC.

I like the small size of the computer. I just use it at home for genealogy, finances, correspondence, and social media.
