As such, I was interested in checking out one of their latest devices.
There are four USB-A ports and a headphone jack on the front of the Geekom GT1 Mega.
It’s a very impressive machine that is hard not to recommend.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Geekom.
The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
The Geekom GT1 Mega comes with everything you need to connect it to a monitor and get started.
There are dozens of options on Amazon that are cheap but can come loaded with malware.
It’s also anAI PCbecause the processor has an AI-boostedNPU(neural processing unit).
Meanwhile, it boasts 32GB DDR5 RAM and up to 2TB PCIe SSD.
Now, some mini PCs are budget options, while others are more premium.
The GT1 Mega is the latter and makes for an ideal work or home computer.
All in all, it’s somewhat pricey but at a good price point for its specs and size.
Since it isn’t very tall, it’s easy to fit the GT1 Mega under your monitor.

As such, it can handle some gaming but definitely isn’t ideal for more intensive games.
I started things off by analyzing the Intel Core UItra 9 185H CPU with Geekbench 6.
I further analyzed the CPU by running Cinebench R24 to check its rendering capabilities.

As such, this tells us that it is very responsive.
This really isn’t that hot overall, and it helps the gadget work efficiently.
It’s really not that loud of a gear, either.

The GT1 Mega can easily handle Photoshop while multitasking between multiple browser tabs.
The small form factor means that it doesn’t take up a lot of room on your desk.
That said, there is room to upgrade the RAM to 64GB if desired.
