GEEKOM GT1 Mega AI Mini PC14th Gen Intel Ultra9 185H|32GB DDR5+1TB SSD

We just got some of these at work (sign company) to replace some aging computers that were not compatible with Windows 11 (it was time to upgrade to remain compliant with security updates, etc.). I’m a designer there and use Adobe apps on them. InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Coming from an iBuyPower Slate MR gaming PC circa 2018/2019 with a 9th gen Core i7 processor with 16 GB RAM and an Nvidia 2080 Super graphics card (8 GB). I haven’t noticed any issues and it seems to perform identically, except I am now on Windows 11 Pro, and this sucker is a fraction of the cost of many gaming PCs these days. I did a TON of research before suggesting these to work (and getting our IT guy’s stamp of approval). As others have mentioned, this is not a dedicated graphics card, so be aware of that. What you are getting is onboard graphics that are much better than the old UHD 770 standard. This type of graphics processor *shares* RAM with the system. So, while it shows 128 MB VRAM for the “graphics card,” that’s not really all you’re getting. Remember that it uses the system RAM to complement that. And this thing has 32 GB of RAM out of the box. That is more than I had in my previous system, which had 16 GB of physical RAM and 8 GB on the graphics card. And it supports up to 64 GB of RAM, so the more you throw in there, the happier it’ll be. While not a gaming PC by hard-core gaming standards (you really need a dedicated graphics card for that), I have a feeling this thing could handle some casual games (you might need to check or adjust some settings to make sure you’re maxing out your RAM utilization in-game — another comment on here mentioned a performance mode; I suspect enabling that would be what is needed to allocate enough RAM to those hungry apps). I have not tested that because this is my work computer. I don’t play games on it. However, there is also the option of connecting a graphics card externally via USB 4, from what I understand. For what I use it for — graphic design work — it works great so far, out of the box. Navigation has been smooth and seamless, my Adobe apps open pretty quickly, and there’s no delay or lag, as I’m working, even in high-quality display mode. I do see a possibility of wanting more RAM before long, as I start to work with it more and put it through its paces, but so far I’m very happy with it.

I purchased this new mini pc, the 89HS 2TB variant and my hope for purchasing this computer was to serve three purposes. I wanted to be able to play the latest games, be able to quickly charge my smartphone and tablet, and have an HDMI-to-HDMI video and audio connection because with my last mini pc, I did not do my research and ended up buying a computer that only had DisplayPort and as such had to use a HDMI to DisplayPort adapter. Being that integrated graphics are not ideal for playing the latest high demanding games, I knew that i had to buy a computer with a very fast processor and fast memory and as such is how I decided on getting this PC. The games that I have tried on it so far put a heavy load on this PC as the fan kicks in and there is some slow down after playing for a while, but it does not take away from being able to enjoy the games for me. The fan is not loud at all, and the PC gets very hot especailly during gaming sessions but as stated the slowdown is not that bad in which it would take away from the enjoyment of playing the games for me. I did a clean install of Windows 11 23h2 using a USB flash drive and it appears as this pc is using drivers that are not very well known as I had to go to the Geekom website to get the missing drivers. I am using a 1080p TV that I have this pc connected to and as such have no interest in higher resolution gaming. This pc has three USB ports that support power delivery but one of them, which uses a USB A connector does not seem to work for charging, but it could be that I need a proper USB A to C charging cable. So, in the end, while this computer can play the latest games at 1080p on medium graphics setting, I would not consider this to be a gaming pc for the reason that it runs very hot when gaming as well as there being some slowdown and that is my biggest concern with this pc as I will be using it to play games. The good thing is that it does come with a three-year warranty, so I hope not to have any issue should I need to send it in within three years for any problem that may arise. I highly recommend this PC for anyone who is looking for something small and powerful.

The Geekom GT1 Mega Mini PC has been an impressive addition to my setup. Straight out of the box, it felt premium with its sturdy metallic build and compact design. Setup was seamless, and I appreciated the wide range of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, and Ethernet, making it highly versatile for different uses. Performance-wise, it delivers snappy multitasking, fast boot times, and smooth performance for work, media editing, and general use. While it’s not a gaming powerhouse, it can handle casual and eSports gaming well, and there’s even an option for an external GPU (eGPU) for those needing extra power. Cooling is another highlight—the fan stays quiet, and even under heavy workloads, the PC remains cool without thermal throttling. Overall, the GT1 Mega is an excellent choice for professionals, casual gamers, and those looking for a powerful, compact PC. If you don’t need a dedicated GPU, this is one of the best mini PCs available.

I would actually give the GT1 4-1/2 stars. Solid build, easy setup. Runs 3 2K monitors without issues. Be very careful removing the cover - the WIFI 6 lead is very short and came off of the card the first time I removed the cover. Also, the fan runs constantly and is pretty loud compared to the AX8 and AX7. Help chatbot was useful with the WIFI issues. Had an issue with Win 11 drivers but resolved it by backing the driver out. I would buy again, but the fan noise can be annoying.

It was shipped in an elegant box. Could not wait to set it up. After set up, I was having one peripheral connection issue. I thought I would just contact tech support which I anticipated would be great to work with after looking at the beautiful packaging. 1st disappointment , when I called the tech support number I got the old leave your number and will call back. After waiting over 6 hours for a call back that never came, I tried thier online chat support . The nature of the connection problem was not going to be solved by a bot so I asked for a real person the bot said I would be connected immediately. It actually took about 30 minutes for the real person to show up. I described the problem and they said hold on they needed to check something. I waited for over 3 hours before they came back to the chat box and when they did they ask for the model and serial #s. I provided that info and they said they would be right back with me , 2.5 hours later I got a message that customer service was closed for the day. I then paid for a local tech guy to fix the problem. So far I like the computer but if you buy one know your totally on your own. Geekom would rather offend thousands with lousy service then just say they are not currently able to provide the product support. I won't buy from them again. PS. I voiced my concerns with them directly. They offered to send me a portable monitor for free since the service was terrible. I said I would appreciate that. The monitor never came. Now I just laugh about it since it is so Unbelievable.

I picked up this mini PC to replace my aging home computer. I typically use my home computer for browsing, office related tasks (Microsoft 365), running virtual machines, software development, video streaming, etc. It's performed all of these tasks quickly and smoothly. I'm not into gaming, so I don't have a need for a high-powered GPU and the Intel Arc graphics card has worked well. After a few days of usage, here's what I've noticed. Pros: * Extremely fast, even when I run VMs (each with 8GB memory and multiple cores) * Quiet, even when the fan is running (when compared against my HP Z820) * Runs Fedora Linux 41 on bare metal * Successfully upgraded to 64GB using Crucial 64GB DDR5 RAM 5600MHz (search for CT2K32G56C46S5) * Support team is responsive to emails within a 48 hour period Cons: * Limits on the secondary internal SSD. It comes with a 2 TB 2280 NVMe SSD which is excellent. There's also a port for an internal secondary SSD, but it only supports M.2 2242 SATA SSD (they keyword here is SATA and not NVMe). Most of the reliable name brand SSD vendors do not produce M.2 2242 SATA SSDs any longer. However, if you're willing to go the external SSD routes, you can hook up anything you want to the fast USB 4.0 ports included. I really appreciate the high performance (specifically the Intel U9-185H processor + 32 GB RAM + 2 TB SSD) and small form factor of this mini PC. It can be successfully upgraded to 64 GB of RAM. If you want to extend drive capacity and get maximum performance, you'll need to use an external SSD with the USB 4.0 ports.

True rating yet to be determined. After days of viewing ads and videos of mini pcs, I picked the Geekon GT1 as the best value on a high-end mini. Set-up was easy and we were off and running--until I tried to load my programs. The programs would flash open then close. I followed the suggestions I found on line for this problem but finally had to bite the bullet and restore windows 11 with a fresh version. The problem was still there. I called Amazon and made arrangements for a return and exchange--I still wanted this computer. While working with another computer something indicated that the monitor may be part of the problem. I went to Walmart and bought a new monitor, unpacked my returning computer, spent another two hours on a restore and tried again -- no luck. I have spent about ten hours on this not including driving and the purchase of the monitor. The device has now been sent back and I must wait two weeks or more for resolution. All I wanted was a simple replacment. I would have been better off dealing with Best Buy or even Walmart who have comperable machines. The resolution would have been much quicker.

When my laptop did not meet the needs for my video editing (not enough memory leading to crashing in Davinci Resolve working with simple 4K/30 videos), I decided I needed an upgrade. Passed through a phase of considering Mac Mini before deciding that switching over operating systems was not worth my time, and besides, the Apple upgrade model was not something that I could accept. I am not a gamer and not even *remotely* interested in games and I long outgrew the need for a huge desktop box. So I decided to go with the mini PC form factor. After some research on Google and YouTube I decided to give this GEEKOM GT1 Mega a try. Packaging: Simple and straightforward and well packaged. Setup: Again, straightforward with no issues. This was the first time buying a Chinese-branded computer (I have been buying HP for the past decade or more) so having Windows 11 Pro bundled with no OS included except on the computer and with no software key or authentication information was new to me - I hope it never needs re-installation. BIOS setup needed no change since it came in "Normal" mode (as opposed to "Quiet" or "Performance". Booted right up normally per Windows 11 routine and I was able to get all the latest updates etc. just as normal. Size is excellent and it has plenty of ports although for my needs the second Ethernet port is superfluous. Operation: I still have my laptop as my main computer since it can travel with me, but I am relegating this mini PC to main video and photo editing duties, and since it will be running most of the time, I am also using it for web browsing and watching videos. Under light usage (such as typing this review) the computer is quiet, and the fan does not appear to be running. Navigate away from this browser page even to a non-video intensive page like a forum web page (you know, lots of messages and no auto-playing videos) and the fan starts to wake up, spinning slowly but just audibly. Go somewhere more video intensive like a YouTube Video and the fan speed can start to increase. Editing my simple YouTube 4K videos occasionally brings the fan up to full speed, and the fan can be left running if you walk away from the computer with Davinci having a video loaded and doing nothing and the blank screensaver is on! That said, for my usage the fan keeps the machine cool enough - it never feels warm to the touch and the exhausted air only feels slightly warm at its worst, so that persistent fan is at least efficient if distracting at times. I will admit that I expected the fan noise issue before buying the GT1 Mega. Operationally, the good news is the previous crashing during Davinci Resolve editing does not occur anymore thanks to the 32GB RAM. Rendering speed is also increased although not as much as I expected over my 3-year-old Intel Core i7 HP laptop. WiFi: Here is my biggest disappointment with this computer. I have Xfinity internet at home and can attain speeds of up to 350 Mbps (download) on my laptops (home and work) which are right next to the GT1 Mega (but only one is awake at a time, so no interference). All are the same distance away from my router and all tests are run within a couple minutes of each other so time of day usage fluctuations are the same for all. The GT1 Mega can only achieve 100 Mbps when the laptop right next to it is hitting 300 Mbps lid open. Lid closed, the laptop download speed drops but is still faster than the GT1 Mega at over 150 Mbps. Upload speed is a consistent crappy 41 Mbps for all 3 computers. See the attached file for the latest results I got while typing this up and with no other load on my home WiFi. As a content creator *upload* speed is more important to me as long as video playback is not buffering I am happy. At the attained WiFi download speed with the GT1 Mega I have not experienced buffering *yet*, but I am still disappointed that the WiFi performance is this poor, especially given the upgraded WiFi specs of the machine. I contacted GEEKOM Support and the person said to get the latest WiFi drivers from their site, and to install it even though it was like a year older than the one on the computer! Needless to say, there was *no difference* so I reverted since I prefer to have the latest updates on all my machines. I replied to Support telling them of my results and they have gone quiet. Maybe this review will wake them up. I have heard that mini computers tend to have poor WiFi due to antenna placement and while that could be the case it should still be better than my older laptop with WiFi 6 specs. For the money I paid for this I expected better. UPDATE: Since the above review on the original unit, I was contacted by GEEKOM Customer Support regarding this issue. Let me say right away – GEEKOM Customer Support has been EXCELLENT throughout this issue, and *could not have been better*. Very fast and very responsive with emails and solutions, much better than larger manufacturers would have been, I am sure. First, they guided me though opening up the computer to check that the antenna wires were properly connected, which initially they were but since these wires have press-on connectors to the adapter card they came loose and could not be effectively reconnected. So at that point I lost all WiFi functionality. GEEKOM Customer Support stepped up, and in an effort to ensure my satisfaction promptly sent me a replacement GT1 Mega! Again, the setup and updating of this replacement GT1 Mega was effortless and smooth, but WiFi performance was no better than the first unit, with max download speeds being typically no better than 120 Mbps. *However* when the GT1 Mega was placed on its side with the bottom of the miniPC facing the direction of the router in the next room, the download speed instantly jumped up to about 220 Mbps! That was proof that the antenna design and/or placement inside the enclosure needs improvement. For the excellent customer support I have bumped this rating up to 4/5 stars, but the overall rating cannot get a 5th star due to the WiFi performance issue. If they continue to work [with me] to improve the actual design I will certainly reconsider the rating.

Funktioniert wie ein Großer!

I have been using this Geekom mini-PC for 2 months now and very pleased with the performance. It sits on a shelf at the bottom of my computer table. You can expand the memory and add a second SSD drive. Super-fast performance from the 8th gen i5 CPU. Overall, a great value mini-PC for under £400.

セットアップ時にキーボードのキー配列が違っていて、MicrosoftやGoogleの設定をする際の＠の入力に苦労したが、あとからネットに掲載されている対処方法でキーボードの設定を修正した後は、快適に使用できている。ファンの音も静かで快適。

La Geekom GT1 se ha convertido en mi computadora principal. Llevo ya cerca de 2 semanas con ella y la tengo trabajando entre 10 y 12 hrs diarias. El procesador y la ram (en mi caso 32gb y Ultra 9 H185) hacen gran trabajo para mantener múltiples programas abiertos, navegador a tope con pestañas abiertas y programas de edición de video básicos como Filmora (no soy editor profesional, pero a veces requiero de hacer algunos tutoriales para mi equipo de trabajo así que es la herramienta que ocupo por facilidad de uso. Estoy comenzando a experimentar con algunos modelos pequeños de AI en local y hasta ahora funciona perfecto, con buena fluidez y con buena fiabilidad en mis pruebas preliminares. Así mismo la he probado con algunos juegos, ya que soy jugador ocasional, y Age of Empires IV lo corre bien en alta definición, Halo Wars 2 en full hd a 60fps, sin problema y forza motor sport (la última edición) en full hd a 60fps sin problema y sin pérdida. Y bueno, demás está decir que por el tamaño que es minúsculo ayuda a mantener el espacio de trabajo despejado y bastante agradable. Por el precio es fenomenal contar con un equipo así. Altamente recomendado.

Fiyatının karşılığını veriyor, çok iyi. İyi ambalajlı, çabuk geldi. Win11 Pro kurumu vakit alıyor ama problemsiz kuruluyor. Sessiz ve hızlı. Arkadaki USB giriş sayısı daha çok olsaydı daha iyi olurdu.Güzel kaliteli ürün.
