Today we are taking a look at the direct successor to the Geekom A7, which comes with largely identical key data and a CPU upgrade. So much remains the same, but you can potentially look forward to more performance and improvements in terms of AI cores. So let’s find out how much of the paper translates into reality! Click here for the [...]
I have tested so many of these small computers with Intel’s N-series processors that I should actually be familiar with all the underlying circuit boards. In most cases, only a different housing or imprint is used from brand to brand, the innards remain the same. That’s why I now turn down requests, because there’s no need to [...]
Yesterday we reported on the Starship Mini-PC from Acemagic. Now Miniforum is following up with its new AtomMan X7 Mini-PC, which has a 4-inch display and makes a lot of things possible. Acemagic stellt seinen futuristischen Starship Mini-PC vor Let’s move on to the technical details of the Minisforum product. It comes with an Intel Core [...]
Acemagic has expanded its portfolio of interesting mini PCs. Having already presented the extraordinary ACEMAGIC TANK 03, the Acemagic Starship Mini-PC now follows, offering a futuristic design. Acemagic has not revealed any specific technical details. But the design has already been unveiled and it looks very interesting. In any case, it could be [...]
If you follow the various articles on the many small systems here with us, the conclusion has been that Intel can offer decent CPU performance, but AMD is pulling away in terms of GPU. The newer chips with Xe graphics have narrowed the gap, but are nowhere near closing it. This could change today, as a Core Ultra with Arc graphics was allowed to [...]
I’ve lost track of how many of these small computers we’ve tested here with this design, but today we’re finally moving up a generation in processors. After a model with a 7940HS recently hit our benchmarks and your wallets like a bomb, the 7735Hs hopefully offers comparable performance at a more affordable price. Let’s [...]
Anyone who remembers my article on the MiniXTec M1 from January may now be experiencing a bit of deja vu. Because a lot of things here seem suspiciously familiar to me too. But it’s no secret that many “manufacturers” across the hardware market commission the same OEM to print their name on a product. But it’s actually [...]
The company Zotac has announced the launch of three new mini AI PCs that offer some exciting features. These are mini AI PCs powered by Intel and AMD processors with dedicated Neural Processing Units. Users then have the opportunity to use this new generation of PC with artificial intelligence. The ZOTAC ZBOX Edge MI672 / MI652 will be presented [...]
I think it will become clear on the next page at the latest what the title alludes to here. But so that the search engine crawlers don’t get the wrong impression of the content of the article and the manufacturer’s designers aren’t offended, you’ll have to come up with the answer yourself. Of course, that doesn’t stop [...]
Today we take a look at a small system from one of the established manufacturers, as they have not missed out on the growing niche market either. According to the manufacturer, the ExpertCenter series are “business desktops from the ExpertCenter series offer extreme reliability”. So let’s take a look at what else is on offer. The [...]
After we recently had several mini PCs with a similar housing, this appears to be a slightly newer and improved version with a very similar design. The following test report will tell you what else there is to discover. Pre-installed malware was recently found on systems from this manufacturer, read more here: Packaging and scope of delivery The [...]
We have been testing various mini PCs and barebones for quite some time now, but a model from the manufacturer that practically invented and popularized this segment has been missing until now. We’re making up for that today and can say goodbye in the same breath, because there will be no more “original” Intel NUCs. At least they [...]
We recently reported that malware was found in certain revisions of systems from the manufacturer Acemagic. As we had also tested these mini PCs and they were connected to my network, the matter was of course even more explosive. If you want to read the whole thing again, you can find the original article here: And even though I couldn’t [...]
As we have tested various small systems from the AceMagic brand, among others, and have also included them in our “Mini-PC” category, there is unfortunately no way around today’s rather unpleasant report. Recently, several sites reported that viruses or malware were found on various mini PCs from AceMagic. And not [...]
We already tested this processor a while ago, and today we have another comparable system from a different manufacturer. So let’s take a look to see if not only the availability and price could be improved compared to the EQ12. If you want to catch up on the article, you can do so here: Packaging and scope of delivery This mini PC is also [...]
It’s been a good year since we tested a small system from this manufacturer, but that changes today. So let’s start right away, if you want to refresh your memory of the last Mini-PC from ECS, you can do so here: Packaging and scope of delivery The compact cardboard box is printed in black and does not reveal much information about the [...]
I briefly considered whether the word “mini” could perhaps be included a few more times in the title, but I didn’t want to spoil the search engine optimization even more. Minimally at most. Today we are testing a completely new brand and an interesting system whose unique selling point may yet turn out to be a gimmick. More on [...]
Normally laptops are not my area here at IgorsLab, but the leap from a mini PC is not far. Acemagic probably thought so too, because instead of sending one of the small systems for a test as usual, they sent a notebook. You can find out in the following test report whether the jump ends successfully or is more likely to be a crash. Packaging and [...]
Having recently tested several small systems equipped with top-of-the-range mobile processors, today we are once again looking at the other end of the spectrum. Packaging and scope of delivery The box couldn’t have been much more generic. After all, it is made clear to us umpteen times that there is a mini PC inside. The sticker on the back [...]
Once again, I was faced with the task of buying my lovely wife a replacement keyboard for her iPad. But with the requirement to convert the tablet into a notebook. She wants to write her book on the train and that doesn’t work with the simple models. What’s more, 2 different ones have gone in just under 2 years and none of them were [...]
