Mini PC Teardown - Geekom Build Quality vs The Others - Featuring the Air 12

🛒 Where to Buy Geekom Mini PCs 📦 Amazon Store: https://amzn.to/43CEzuA (affiliate) 🏬 Geekom Official Store: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2523437&u=1643492&m=118915&urllink=&afftrack= I was talking to Geekom about their build quality. I noticed that they are one of the only companies that gives their Mini PCs an internal metal shell... You see this even on the less expensive units like this Air 12 we are looking at here. They agreed to sponsor a video teardown, so that's what we're gonna do. Their PCs also have huge tantalum capacitors for the core power delivery. This basically boils down to stability, fewer blue screens, and fewer glitches. Also, they have placed 150 uF capacitors by their USB ports to ensure stable and constant power delivery. This means devices won't randomly disconnect. As for the internal metal shell, I'll explain how that works in the video. So, check it out. 🛒 https://epicpants.com 🎵 https://zweihander.com 💻 https://teksyndicate.com 🎮 Gaming Channel: https://youtube.com/@easymode ------- ✅ My Recommendations for Geekom Mini PCs 🧩 Basic computing & light gaming (PS2/GameCube emu) 👉 Mini Air 12 – https://amzn.to/45EzmVN 🎬 Editing, office, and heavy gaming (Cyberpunk 2077 & BG3) 👉 Ryzen 9 – https://amzn.to/440F430 🎮 Great performance for AAA gaming (Cyberpunk & BG3 run well) 👉 Geekom A8 / A7 – https://amzn.to/4lck2EH This one is similar to the one listed above... so you can pick whichever.
