GEEKOM Mini IT11 review: It's a truly modern Windows 11 Mini PC by Steven Parker Earlier this year GEEKOM reached out to me asking if I was willing to give one of its Mini PCs a whirl and I accepted if I was able to test one of its later and beefier models, seeing as it also still sells a variant with 8th gen Intel i3, i5, and i7 CPU choices for under $500. I was only really interested in benchmarking a modern Mini PC with Windows 11 installed, believing such tests would benefit our readers. Although I've seen Mini PCs before (I almost bought a Mac Mini as a second PC) I have never used one, so it was a learning experience for me too. First up, below are the full specifications of this thing. I have bolded my configuration where relevant. Mini IT11 11th Gen Intel Core i7/i5 Dimensions Size 117 x 112 x 45.6 mm Weight 564.9 g CPU i7-1195G7 (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 12M Cache, up to 5.00 GHz) i7-1165G7 (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 12M Cache, up to 4.70 GHz) i5-1155G7 (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 8M Cache, up to 4.50 GHz) i5-1135G7 (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz) Graphics Intel® Iris® Xe with 96 EU Memory Dual-channel DDR4 SODIMM, 16GB; expandable up to 64GB Storage 1 x SSD (2280 M.2 SATA/PCIe), 512GB; expandable up to 2TB 1 x 2.5" SATA HDD (7mm), expandable up to 2TB Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth® v5.2 Ethernet Intel® 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Wireless LAN Intel® Wi-Fi 6, AX201 (CNVI) Kensington Lock Yes Adapter Automatic Voltage adjustment between 100 and 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 3 pin, 65 Watts (19V/3.42A), 1.5 meters in length I/O Ports 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports 2 x USB4 ports 1 x SD card reader 1 x 3.5 mm headphone jack 1 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port 1 x HDMI 2.0 port 1 x Mini DisplayPort 1 x DC jack 1 x Power button Price $649 ($589 until Dec 30 with promo code) Although this i7-1195G7 variant I am reviewing has an MSRP of $769, right now it is discounted to $649, and when you apply the XMIT11A coupon, it discounts it a further $60 bringing it down to just $589. That is not bad for an 11th gen Intel i7 PC with 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and USB4 connectivity. The packaging feels very premium and the top can be pulled off to reveal the Mini PC sitting inside a foam-cushioned interior. Once you have the PC out, and the foam is removed you are greeted with a Thank You envelop, below that after removing the cardboard "shelf" you can find the other components such as the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA mount plate with a bag of screws, and the instruction manual. What’s In The Box 1 x Mini IT11 Mini PC 1 x VESA Mount 1 x Power Adapter 1 x Storage Bag 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x User Guide 1 x Thank You Card GEEKOM opted to ship an HDMI cable with the PC, unfortunately, there is no mini DisplayPort adapter, which means I had to order one because my setup is using DisplayPort via a KVM switch, and HDMI isn't really a convenient option. Design The Mini PC itself has a good heft to it, it certainly is not heavy, but it isn't light either, and it has a premium and balanced feel to it. All the edges and corners except for the bottom edges of the Mini PC are rounded, so it is comfortable to hold and move around. It is also good to see that there are two USB4 ports (Type C) one on the front and one on the back. The other three USB3 ports are also Gen 3.2, which is great. As far as looks go, it is a fully matte exterior, so it's not a fingerprint magnet. It also feels like aluminum, but it actually isn't; it's a plastic shell that covers a metal frame. It doesn't feel cheap and isn't flimsy either, and even when the base is removed it remains sturdy. Accessing the Mini IT11 is as easy as unscrewing the bottom plate with the four Philips head screws located in the center of each rubber foot, a small hobby screwdriver is enough for the job, but you may want to use a flat head screwdriver to prise the plate free, taking care not to damage the ribbon, which is connected to a full-sized SSD connector that can be added to a sled located on the backplate. Helpfully, the screws do not come loose from the backplate so that you won't lose them either. As you can see from the above images which can be enlarged when clicked on, there is ample room to manage the SODIMMs and single 80mm Lexar NVMe SSD, so you can swap it out for something else if you want. The backplate only fits back on one way, this is to ensure that the NVMe is always connected to the heat spreader. Usage On first boot, you are prompted to complete the setup of Windows 11 Pro, meaning you do not have to fork out for a license, which is nice. After the setup is completed, I am happy to report that the Mini IT11 does not come with any bloatware installed. It ships with the original version of Windows 11 so I had to run some updates to get me up to the current 22H2 version. Many people may not come across this, but I will mention it in case it does help someone troubleshoot an issue that I had with my main display, which is a Samsung CRG9 49" Ultrawide. I fully expected this modern Mini PC with an 11th gen Intel CPU and Intel Xe graphics to just work normally connecting through the DisplayPort (DP), but after switching out three cables, I was unable to get the display working properly, it kept glitching out. On HDMI (GEEKOM ship an HDMI cable with the unit) I could only get a maximum of 60Hz at any screen resolution. Believing it to be faulty, after getting a replacement Mini PC through my contact, I was finally able to confirm that my screen only works fully through DP to USB4, which is a relatively new technology and supports DisplayPort 1.4a-based Tunneling. It is the only port which supports 5120 x 1440 @ 120Hz, but for the purpose of this review and screenshots, I have it set to 2560 x1440 @ 120Hz. Thankfully there are two USB4 ports, one on the front and one on the back, for the purpose of cable management. The ports denoted with the red arrow above are what I ended up using with my Ultrawide. It's unclear why the screen won't work fully on HDMI or DP, since Intel says on its website that it should support max 4K (HDMI) and 8K (DP) @ 60Hz while my screen is only a max of 2K @ 120Hz. It's actually physically possible to attach four screens to the Mini IT11 using the DisplayPort, HDMI and the two USB4 ports if you wanted. Regarding connectivity, there are also two USB 3.2 gen 2 ports and a barrel port for power on the back. Around the front, there's another USB4 port, a USB 3.2 gen 2 port and a port for a 3.5mm headphone jack. As you can see from the two images above that, you can affix a Kensington lock on one side and insert an SD adapter for a micro SD card on the left side of the Mini IT11. Benchmarks With that out of the way, and because people like that sort of thing, I ran some benchmarks and compared it to my main PC which I built in 2019. The Mini IT11 is running Windows 11 Professional 22H2 (Moment 2 update) build 22621.900 and the latest Intel driver is installed which is v31.0.101.3790 (October 2022). My Main PC consists of the following: Intel Core i9-9900K (stock) Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI (BIOS revision F12) 64GB DDR4-3200 G.Skill Ripjaws (16-18-18-38) dual channel Samsung 980 1TB NVMe KFA2 RTX 2070 SUPER (Nvidia driver 527.37) Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2311 For the benchmarks, I used 3DMark, PCMark 10, Geekbench, and Cinebench. 3DMark Time Spy tests gaming capability with DX12 graphics performance. PCMark tests are a mix of CPU and real-world productivity tests, such as using an office suite, web browsing, light photo/video editing, and making conference calls. Cinebench stresses the entire CPU as it is a multi-threaded rendering test. Finally, Geekbench is a synthetic benchmark that is great for a quick look at the potential performance across a wide range of workloads. GEEKOM Mini IT11 Core i7-1195G7 Selfbuild Core i9-9990K 3DMark (Time Spy) 1,635 9,995 PCMark 10 Extended test 5,159 4,810 6,619 8,853 Geekbench Single / Multicore Compute (OpenCL) 1,583 / 4,543 15657 1,300 / 8,186 99450 Cinebench Single / Multicore 1,532 / 4,947 1250 / 11,711 I also tested the SSD's capability using AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark. AS SSD CrystalDiskMark Despite running all of the above benchmark tests, the Mini IT11 did not get hot to the touch and there were no annoying noises coming from the single fan that cools the unit. Conclusion One thing that is clear from using this Mini PC is that it isn't a gaming PC, you will not be able to enjoy graphically intensive games on it, but it absolutely is suited as an office workstation, or perhaps a good solution for a student with limited living space with the ability to pack this away after every use. This thing isn't taking up much room, you can even screw it to the back of a screen if it has VESA support with the included mount plate. In a world that is apparently too stingy for phone manufacturers to include a power lead and charger for their flagship phones, GEEKOM has provided all of the cables and tools necessary to get started straight away, along with a Windows 11 Pro license and a clear guide with instructions on how to access the internals. There's even a carry bag included. Assuming you've made it this far, yes at $749, the Mini IT11 is a hard sell if we consider that there are plenty of other cheaper (AMD) options available on the market for around $200 less, the BEELINK SER5 is one such example, and which also came out in the summer of 2022. However, considering GEEKOM is already discounting the MSRP by $100 on its own site, and then knocking off an additional $60 until the end of the year, the Intel solution suddenly looks enticing at $589. Plus it becomes clearer what you are paying for when you realize that the AMD option does not include USB4, a Displayport, an SD Card slot, or even a Kensington lock and more. It also has to be said that the starting price (without promos) is $519 for the Intel Core i5-1135G7 variant, but the rest of the specs remain the same as our test machine. As I said earlier, the decision ultimately comes down to what you're willing to pay for the options you need. This Mini PC will connect to virtually any display type, whereas cheaper solutions will be limited to HDMI. GEEKOM also let us know that until December 30th they are running a promotion where you can save $60 off the version I tested, that's the i7-1195G7 with 16GB RAM and a 512GB NVMe for $589 using code: XMIT11A upon checkout. You can also bag the 1TB NVMe and 32GB variant for $709 using the same code. Both Mini IT11s also ship with a free wireless keyboard and mouse throughout the promotional period.

USB 3.2 specification announced, with double the data rates over existing cables by Andy Weir USB Type-C has been gradually gaining traction over the last few years, with increasing usage in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, desktops, and all sorts of other devices. Currently, the top transfer rate that can be achieved with USB-C is 10Gbps (gigabits per second), through USB 3.1 Gen 2 - but those speeds are about to get a lot faster. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group - which includes Microsoft, Apple, Intel, HP, and others - has announced the USB 3.2 specification. USB 3.2 enables the design of hosts and devices with multi-lane solutions, with up to two lanes of 5Gbps or 10Gbps operation, "effectively doubling the performance across existing cables", the group said. It added that "a USB 3.2 host connected to a USB 3.2 storage device will now be capable of realizing over 2 GB/sec data transfer performance over an existing USB Type-C cable that is certified for SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps." Brad Saunders, chairman of the USB 3.0 Promoter Group, said: When we introduced USB Type-C to the market, we intended to assure that USB Type-C cables and connectors certified for SuperSpeed USB or SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps would, as produced, support higher performance USB as newer generations of USB 3.0 were developed. The USB 3.2 update delivers the next level of performance. Microsoft's Roanne Sones, General Manager of Strategy and Ecosystem for the Windows and Devices Group, said the company is keen to work with its partners to bring the benefits of the new specification to market, adding: "With increased performance and seamless compatibility, the new USB 3.2 specification brings even more speed and bandwidth benefits to new USB 3.2 devices, while remaining compatible with USB 3.0 and earlier devices." USB 3.2 hasn't yet been finalized, but the specification is said to be "in a final draft review phase", and is expected to be formally released in time for the USB Developer Days North America event in September. However, it's likely to be a while longer before new devices designed around the USB 3.2 specification come to market. Source: Business Wire

7 Days: A week of Paint's brush with death, Windows 10 anticipation, and a Flashy finale by Andy Weir 7 Days is a weekly roundup of the Editors' picks of what's been happening in the world of technology - written with a dash of humor, a hint of exasperation, and an endless supply of (Irish) coffee. Another week has ended, and it’s been another exciting one, filled with news, rumors, and surprises from across the tech world. 7 Days is here once more to make sure you know what’s been happening, with a handy roundup of the week’s top tech news. iBye Thursday marked the end of an era, as Apple discontinued its venerable iPod nano and iPod shuffle. The two devices contributed significantly to the success of the iPod line - but standalone music players are far less popular now than they once were. Droning on The UK Government has announced plans requiring new drones heavier than 250 grams to be registered, while their owners will be required to sit a safety awareness test. Image: TNWDriving on India's transport minister said the country's government will not allow driverless cars on its roads, amid fears that autonomous vehicles will take away jobs from its citizens. Meanwhile, in the UK, the sale of petrol- and diesel-powered cars will be banned by 2040, following a similar announcement by the French government. Fast lanes The USB 3.0 Promoter Group shared details of the new USB 3.2 specification, supporting up to two lanes of 10Gbps operation, "effectively doubling the performance across existing cables." The new standard is expected to be finalized this year. Core blimey According to some online benchmarks, it seems that Intel may be readying quad-core U-series processors for its next generation of chips, codenamed Coffee Lake. That means we should be seeing quad-core Ultrabooks fairly soon... Holo pursuits Intel isn't the only one working on new processors. On Monday, Microsoft announced details of the new holographic processing unit for its next HoloLens headset, which will incorporate a custom-designed AI coprocessor. HTC - which is more focused on VR, rather than augmented reality - announced a new standalone Vive headset using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. Rise of the machines Microsoft brought us once step closer this week to the launch of SkyNet and humanity's destruction by our future machine overlords, as it revealed details of an artificial intelligence that teaches reading comprehension to other AIs. Mark Zuckerberg recently dismissed concerns raised by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk about the potential threat posed by AI, but Musk responded by saying that Zuckerberg's understanding of that threat is "limited". So many speakers It seems like everyone's launching an AI-infused smart speaker these days. Xiaomi unveiled its new Mi AI Speaker, calling it "a baby for nurture into your perfect companion". Creepy. Still, while its marketing may need some work, the price makes it very tempting - it'll cost just $45, despite promising "excellent sound quality". Microsoft and Harman Kardon have been working on a speaker powered by Cortana, and as Neowin was first to reveal this week, the two companies have now launched a private beta program for the device. Specs and photos, along with the user manual, also emerged for the new Invoke speaker. Facebook is reportedly developing a smart speaker too, with a 15-inch touchscreen. The social network is also expected to launch its new TV service next month. Google results Google's parent company, Alphabet, published its latest quarterly earnings report on Tuesday - but while it exceed expectations, its profits took a big hit from the $2.7 billion fine that Google was slapped with by European antitrust regulators. Google has been tinkering with the results on its search engine too. It ditched its Instant Search feature, which displayed search results as users typed their queries - but search autocomplete suggestions will remain. In less welcome news, Google has also been testing video autoplay in its search results. Bleugh. O-MG On Monday, Google released the fourth and final Android O Developer Preview, before the next major version of the OS launches in the coming weeks. Google still hasn't revealed which sweet, tasty treat the update will be named after. But could it really be... Octopus?! All things Android Owners of Google's Nexus 5X and 6P whose devices were affected by a frustrating 'bootloop' issue now have a fix that can bring their handsets back to life - but it's an unofficial solution to the problem. Along with the smart speaker I mentioned earlier, Xiaomi unveiled its new mid-range Mi 5X phone, offering some solid specs at a very appealing price. There was plenty of news this week for flagship fans too. Meizu announced its new Pro 7 and Pro 7 Plus, which feature a bizarre secondary display on the rear of each device. Lenovo revealed its Moto Z2 Force, with a Snapdragon 835 processor, and a 5.5-inch Quad HD 'shatterproof' display, which it demonstrated by repeatedly dropping the handset onto a brick floor. Be sure to check out our hands-on video of that handset. Images of Samsung's rugged Galaxy S8 active leaked this week, along with key specs and features of the device. And HMD Global sent out invites to the launch of its new Nokia 8 flagship on August 16. The much-loved Lumia Camera UI - which featured on Nokia and Microsoft Windows phones - could come to future Nokia Android phones, as HMD acquired the patent from Microsoft. Elite status A year and a half after HP unveiled the Elite x3, it seems the Windows 10 Mobile flagship may be heading to Verizon. Over in the UK, HP slashed the price of the Elite x3 and Desk Dock by 18% - no great surprise, as it's not exactly a new device any more. Meanwhile, Microsoft delayed the launch of Alcatel's high-end Windows phone in the UK, and elsewhere in Europe. The IDOL 4 Pro is a rebranded version of the device that launched in the US last year, where it was ditched by T-Mobile after six months, following massive price cuts. Windows love Microsoft's development of its Windows 10 Mobile has stagnated in recent months, leading many to claim that it's turned its back on its smartphone OS. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore responded to one such claim this week, saying that the company clearly "has no hate for" Windows phones, because it's trying to bring Windows phone features to iOS and Android devices. Uhhh... what? Moving on... Microsoft did share a bit of love with Windows 10 Mobile users in its latest Insider Preview. Build 15235 is the first phone preview in three and a half months to include a new feature. Windows 10 build 16251 also rolled out to PCs in the Fast ring with a bunch of new features, including the ability to link your Android phone to your PC to continue browsing web pages between the two devices. Microsoft also added support for iPhones on Friday. Microsoft is in the final phase of its development of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (codenamed Redstone 3). Windows Insiders can now 'Skip Ahead' to a new ring that will give them first access to preview builds from its Redstone 4 development branch. Paint's brush with death Last weekend, Microsoft revealed numerous features that will be deprecated or removed from Windows 10 when the Fall Creators Update rolls out. Microsoft Paint - a mainstay of Windows for two decades - was on the list of deprecated features, leading to a global outcry from nostalgic Windows users, and massive media coverage mourning the 'death' of the application. On Tuesday, Microsoft made it clear that "Paint is not going away", and will remain available from the Windows Store. Farewell, Flash There was no such outpouring of grief when Adobe announced on Tuesday that it will finally kill off Flash in 2020. Indeed, many people were practically dancing on its grave after the announcement. Microsoft outlined its plans to phase out Flash support on Edge and Internet Explorer over the next few years, in line with similar roadmaps from Google, Mozilla and Apple. Developer delights With the Fall Creators Update expected in September, Microsoft announced that its SDK is 'platform-complete'. It also revealed that several new features for Windows app developers are now generally available. Developers can finally get their hands on ISOs for Windows 10 S too. Microsoft launched its new Windows Bounty Program on Wednesday, offering payouts of up to $250,000 to those who discover new vulnerabilities in Windows 10 and some of its key features. Creativity unleashed After beginning its 'phased' rollout in April, Microsoft announced on Thursday that the Creators Update is now available to all Windows 10 users (...except those whose PCs can't actually upgrade, of course). It also revealed that it's replacing the Windows 10 Current Branch and Current Branch for Business with the Semi-Annual Channel to align with Office 365 ProPlus feature updates. Game on Microsoft's Phil Spencer confirmed that Xbox One X pre-orders are coming soon, and hinted at the possibility of sales bundled with 4K TVs. Microsoft reached a major milestone this week, with over 400 Xbox 360 games now on its Xbox One Backward Compatibility list. It also revealed its Xbox Games with Gold titles for August. The Sims 4 is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is now available as a standalone title for Xbox One and PC. There was bad news for Sony's gaming community in some countries, as the company announced price increases to its PlayStation Plus subscriptions. Good news for Nintendo, though: it's sold 4.7 million of its Switch consoles in the last few months, with 13 million games sold. However, Walmart confirmed that it's cancelling pre-orders of Nintendo's new SNES Classic Edition, due to a technical glitch. Predictably, that resulted in a ton of outrage from those hoping to buy one of the retro consoles.
