Mini PC GEEKOM Mini Air 12, available at a price of 22,700 rubles, is ideal for use at home as a media center, a system for Internet surfing and entertainment, as well as an office or educational platform for working with documents and more. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 117 × 112 × 36 mm and light weight of 499 grams, it is easy to take with you anywhere.

The system is built on the Intel Alder Lake-N processor — Intel N100, which offers four cores operating in four threads with a clock frequency of up to 3.4 GHz. This chip has ultra-low power consumption — only 6 W. However, for effective cooling, an active cooler is used here: the noise level at maximum fan speed reaches 45.7 dBA, but in most tasks it operates at low speed and remains virtually silent, the manufacturer notes.

The processor is equipped with integrated Intel HD graphics with 24 execution units and a frequency of 750 MHz. Resolution up to 8K (7680 × 4320 pixels) is supported, and image output is possible on three displays simultaneously. For this, the Mini Air 12 has an HDMI 2.0 port (up to 4K@60 Hz), a mini-DisplayPort 1.4 connector (up to 4K@60 Hz or 8K@30 Hz) and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port with an alternative DisplayPort 1.4 mode (up to 4K@60 Hz or 8K@30 Hz).

MiniAir 12 is equipped with 16 GB of DDR5 SO-DIMM RAM with an effective frequency of 4800 MHz. For data storage, there is a solid-state drive of the M.2 format with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with a capacity of 512 GB and a speed of up to 3500 MB/s. The user has the ability to expand the storage up to 1 TB. SSDs with a SATA III interface are also supported.

The computer is equipped with a wireless interface with support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The following ports are located on the front and back panels of the Mini Air 12: three USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB Type-C, one SD memory card slot, one 3.5 mm headphone jack, an RJ-45 Ethernet network port, one HDMI 2.0 video output and a mini-DisplayPort 1.4. There is also a connector for the power supply and a Kensington lock.
