Mini PC

REVIEW – The flood of Mini PCs continues unabated.

I had to double check my notes and pictures multiple times while writing this […]

REVIEW – Mini PC’s are seemingly more and more popular, judging from the sheer volume of new models dropping every year. We’ve reviewed at least a few dozen of them here at The Gadgeteer, and they’re useful for all sorts of applications, from general home PC use to media editing to gaming and everything in

REVIEW – Mini PCs offer a cost effective, versatile and minimalist end point computing experience, and their popularity continues to grow as more workloads become distributed.  GEEKOM is building on their mini PC lineup with the XT12 Pro, the inaugural offering of the new XT series.  We’re putting it through its paces and cracking open
