Geekom Mini PC with Intel i7, 32 GB RAM, and Windows 11 for Under $500!

Would you like to work from home, but a new desktop PC is out of the question and laptops are too expensive? If so, a mini PC (see our "Best of" list) is the perfect choice for you. The Geekom IT12 is a prime example of a powerful computer in a small form factor which you can get at a significantly lower price for a limited time only. This is made possible by vouchers that nextpit will make available to you exclusively.

Windows 11 Pro and Intel processor: That's how powerful the Geekom IT12 is

The Geekom IT12 is available in three different specifications. The cheapest version is based on an Intel i5 processor, 16 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. If you want a more powerful processor, you can opt for the Intel i7-12650H, which features ten cores and up to 16 threads.

The manufacturer relies on six performance cores and four efficiency cores to get the job done in double quick time. The former's clock speed lies between 2.3 and 4.7 GHz, while the E-cores achieve anywhere from 1.7 to 3.5 GHz.

The two other variants of the Geekom IT12 rely on the powerful Intel i7-12650H and differ only in terms of memory. You have the choice between 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD or 32 GB RAM, which can be increased to 64 GB, with a 1 TB SSD. You can now get the most powerful model at a cheaper rate on Geekom and Amazon.

By the way: If 1 TB is not enough for you, you can also hook up another SATA hard disk for more space.

If you want to enjoy triple-A games like Cyberpunk 2077 using the mini PC, we will have to stop you right there. Although you have enough dual-channel DDR4 RAM available, the Geekom IT12 has an integrated Intel UHD graphics unit. While this is more than sufficient for your home office, games that require more graphical performance than League of Legends are rather limited.
