I replaced the lid on my very similar one with a large 12v fan running on 5V from a USB. Totally silent under any load (closed up, the interior fan did run at times and it was audible). I added a second drive, a standard SSD. Very happy with the power draw. I installed linux alongside. Definitely recommend that type of device. N100 is capable enough to run a few browsers, email etc in parallel. I have a separate games machine
Bought myself a mini pc a few weeks ago. A Minisforum UM890 pro (Ryzen 9 8945HS 32GB + 1TB). I was considering another tower, but thought I would save some space. Very impressed with what it can do in such a small form factor. Lightening fast compared to my old 12 year old pc. Of course, I then had to treat myself to a 27" 4k monitor to go with it. 😉
"Out of this World" was called "Another World" on the Amiga. One of my favourite games. Was forever playing it. Still have the original game and the Amiga in the loft.
During setup were you able to set up a local account without any issue or were you forced to use a MS account? What build of Windows11 was shipped with this computer? 23H2 or was it older? How long did the Windows11 updates take to bring it up to date?
I was wondering the same thing about the MS account. When I set up my mini pc a few weeks ago, I was stumped when I got to the MS account setup page. There was no way to bypass that page. In the end, I simply went back to the previous page, disconnected the network cable, then clicked on "Next", & the account setup page was bypassed. 👍🏻
@@Manticore1960 There are ways around it including using Shift+F10 and typing oobe\bypassnro and rebooting it will then give you an option to bypass the MS account requirement. Other option is to specify it is for a business and will be used on a domain. That will also allow you to get around the MS account requirement. The other thing is are the drivers for this mini pc readily available on the Geekom website? This is incase you have to do a full clean reinstall of the OS from say a flash drive. One can use the DISM command to backup the drivers to a USB flash drive for safe keeping.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
@@LearnElectronicsRepair It's a scam. The message is from someone pretending to be a naive beginner in cryptocurrency by giving out their secret seed phrase. Anyone who knows about crypto wallets knows that you should never divulge your seed phrase (it's like giving out the PIN to your bank card). It's a carrot dangling in front of the unscrupulous who know how wallets work & try to steal the money in the wallet, but then get scammed themselves. I've seen similar comments in other UA-cam videos from scammers who have joined UA-cam in the past few weeks.
Heya, those are nice mahine's I have something simalor but that an I5 intel I believe. gone use that 1 for my battery,inverter and solarsystem monitoring system
Quiz: how many times did you jump, heads first, at Lara Croft's Mansion? Interesting mini PC As we get older, those extra pixels from newer games are not necessary anyway... 🤣 Out of This World... the original Dark Souls...
I will no longer buy anything like this which is based on Intel. I had a project which was very memory hungry but didn't need much processing power. Bought one with a 64 bit Atom processor and Intel graphics, with 16 GB memory. Then Intel withdrew support for the graphics chip in 64 bit mode making the whole thing unusable as a 64 bit system. I will never trust Intel again.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our product. Your review of the GEEKOM mini PC is highly valuable to us. Happy New Year in advance:)
Great
A very neat and tidy machine for docs' schem's along side my bench

I have no idea even what that means 😵💫 so why ask me?
