If you want something completely barebones (windows), maybe have a go at this:https://atlasos.net/ I'm testing it at the moment and never seen my geekom IT13 blaze so fast :) I gets rid of most (if not all) windows bloat. Good luck!

That's good you tried replacing the paste. Looking at things, I'd guess windows management is abusing your CPU to run background processes thinking you're not busy. You can tell windows to chill by entering the windows power management window and reducing the processor max state from 100% to 99%. Th

I’ve been wanting to get a friend into PC recording because he only uses Tascam. He does quite well, but I had my sights on a Geekom IT13. There are faster units available, and certainly larger.

Geekom IT13 with the i5 13600H CPU. It is currently selling for $600 USD on Amazon. Unfortunately, it's limited to 16 GB of RAM. Another option is GMKtec K8 Plus. Priced around $660 with 32 GB of RAM. It has the Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU which has multi-core performance similar to the M2 Pro laptop.

The M4 Mac Mini is the top option for your needs. No other mini-PC is better under $700 for photo & video editing. An external SD card reader costs around $10 USD. Total for the M4 Mac Mini with external SD card reader is $610. If you are a student, you get a student discount of $100. Thus, the fina

It could work, but there are better options. Intel CPUs and their "Quick Synch" feature is better for video editing outside of MacOS software. Those options are with HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 ports: - Geekom IT13 with the Intel core i9 13900HK CPU ($700 USD) - Geekom IT15 with the Ultra 9 285H CPU ($999

Yeah, most of tech lovers tend to update Mini PC + egpu, maybe you can consider GEEKOM IT13, the classic and popular model of GEEKOM, equipped with usb4.0 to contact with egpu

I just retired my 8-year old tower PC that was full of leading edge tech, bling, and bells and whistles - from 8 years ago. I just replaced it with a Geekom IT13 mini (so small I could lose it if I had it in my pocket), but it far exceeds the power of the tower. And it has a bigger SSD, and twice as
