Why did you pick this product vs others?:This "little" computer is a powerhouse! Well worth the money.

As an experienced computer technician (nerd!), I am quite happy with the latest versions of the mini PCs coming out of industry. They are all getting very competitive and installing some quality components in a very small space.I bought this Geekom Mini IT13 along with several other Mini PCs, just to actually do a valid comparison among the units. I settled on this brand/version for the features, component connectivity and price.It is 13th Gen Intel i9-13900H NUC13 Mini with 14 Cores and 20 Threads. The 32GB DDR4 memory is in the middle for most users and upgrading to more memory will add to your productivity. The 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD is sufficient for most daily use. It does come with Windows 11 Pro (with a real Win Key, if you know what I mean), so if you want to dump WIN for LINUX, recommend you keep your WIN Key. I also chose this model because of the dual HDMI ports which I preferred over the others who offer you a HDMI and DP port. Yes, it does support 4 monitors, which I used a USB-C docking station (14 in 1).There are several reviews out there and most of them are consistent with their #1 through #5. I hope this helps people who are looking to dump their laptops and desktops for a small and compact solution.

This is by far the most powerful PC I've used. Overall I'm very happy with it, but it has a few things I wish were different:* It has DDR4 RAM, NOT DDR5, which is very strange given the overall specs. I may have ordered something else had I fully grasped the implications of this.* It boots inconsistently, by which I mean that I often have to press the power button because it's stuck at the vendor logo screen. This may be a side effect of having installed Linux on it almost immediately.* The initial Windows 11 setup/upgrade/upgrade again process took a very long time, literally hours. I was able to update every distro on my laptop during that time, but that was a bit of a disappointment given the high end specs here.* Installing Windows can be tricky. I ended up deleting all 4(!) Windows partitions (which immediately solved the reboot/restart issue) but when I attempted to reinstall it in a less scattershot way using media that had always worked on other machines, I got nowhere, as it claimed it needed drivers to continue. I actually tried doing that, but ultimately it was necessary to use the Media Creation Tool on another machine to create the USB. Weird...* The Geekom English language support websites have files hosted by mediaflare, which is a consumer level hosting site as far as I know. One of the driver files I tried to download failed with a message about dangerous something. All other drivers downloaded correctly.* It does run a little hot for my liking, generally hovering a around 50C at idle but jumping quickly towards 100C. The fan is super quiet until that happens, then relatively loud. I'm used to things being in the 30-70C range, so I may be overreacting, but 100C seems pretty hot!Don't get me wrong, I really like this little thing, it's just not quite the speed demon I had anticipated, and I do wish it ran cooler/quieter under load. I'm going to keep it, though if I'd paid full price (I got a like-new deal that made it a steal even with the above issues) I might be considering it.#### UPDATE ####I ended up returning this thing. I finally discovered that I'd been looking at the wrong support info. When I found the correct site, there was much more helpful information, but what sealed it for me was the official instructions to reinstall Windows, which clobbered all my nicely arranged Linux (and other) partitions without warning, though I could have missed something I guess. No bueno...I'm much happier so far with a Beelink SER8, which runs much MUCH cooler and just seems to be better designed and supported. Fairly sure a normal Windows reinstall would work on this one, but it's fine as is. Separate review coming for the Beelink once I've lived with it a while...

I can't say enough good things about this product. Well built, fast as hell, beautiful small form factor, runs cool, graphics output is decent for not having a high dollar graphics card.Worth every penny! I will never buy a large form factor PC again!

It is one of the best and most powerful PC I have owned.. I have been a developer for 50 years so I know!!

Did not recognize drivers for bluetooth and wifi. I do not recommend this product. I took it to a professional to have my old data transferred to the geekom and they talked to geekom support and still could not make it work properly.

Can't complain.
