Score: 82/100Rankings
The Geekom IT11 Mini PC packs an 11th-gen i7-11390H, 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD into a sub-kilogram chassis, offering strong productivity performance, extensive I/O and VESA-mountability. Integrated graphics and thermal limits keep it from high-end gaming or sustained compute-heavy workloads.
The QAZIPO Mini PC combines an octa-core Intel i3-N305, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and triple-4K display support in a compact VESA-mountable chassis. It offers excellent connectivity and performance for productivity and home-lab tasks, though memory bandwidth and graphics are limited.

Professional reviewers rate the Mini IT11 highly for its powerful i7 CPU, extensive upgradeability and dual USB4 ports, while noting thermal throttling and limited graphics performance for gaming.
Everyday users appreciate the small footprint, quiet operation during routine tasks and upgrade flexibility, but many report fan noise under heavy loads and inconsistent 8K playback on Linux.
Professional reviewers note that the i3-N305's eight cores and high turbo frequency give the QAZIPO Mini PC a clear performance edge over legacy N100/N95 and J4125-based devices, while its dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity place it among the best-connected mini PCs in its segment. The triple-4K display support and dense I/O are highlighted as strong productivity features, though the lack of ECC memory and single-channel RAM are seen as drawbacks for server-grade reliability.
Everyday users rate the device around 4.5/5, praising its smooth day-to-day performance, ability to drive three 4K monitors, and the dual 2.5 Gbps LAN for homelab router or NAS builds. The compact form factor and VESA mounting are frequently mentioned as convenient, while occasional overheating and the non-PD USB-C port are the most common complaints.
“compact size, quiet operation during daily tasks, and strong multitasking performance.”
“fan noise becomes noticeable during CPU-intensive tasks such as video encoding or virtualization.”
“High CPU performance with up to 5.0 GHz turbo boost.”
