The GEEKOM Mini PC IT12 2025 Edition is the best Mini PC under £500 and delivers top performance and exceptional value
Desktop PCs are great, but they're just a bit too big for those who prefer a tidy, minimal workspace. Nobody wants cables everywhere, and the sound of an enormous fan straining to cool whatever's labouring away inside the computer. The mini-PC fixes this, and GEEKOM's latest release, the GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition, puts the concept of the mini PC into overdrive with its exceptional performance at a highly competitive pric
As the world's top-performing, best-priced Intel NUC12 alternative, the GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition i7-1280p runs powerful 12-generation Intel Core processors, making it ideal for office work, IT applications, and audio/video editing. In addition, it can run mid-to-high-end games smoothly, offering exceptional performance at a highly competitive price.
The mega mini
The tiny GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition measures just 117 x 112 x 49.2 mm, barely wider than a CD and small enough to fit on the most minimal desktop setup. In the box is a VESA mount, so you can mount it on the back of a monitor and make it disappear completely, making it a more compelling choice than many all-in-one solutions, given its low price.
The GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition may be small, but it gives up nothing in power or flexibility as a result. It's well provided with ports, offering a single USB 2.0 port that's perfect for a wireless keyboard and mouse dongle, then moving up to three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and two Type-C USB4 ports for connecting really fast peripherals such as external SSDs and cameras. Alternatively, you can plug a camera SD card directly into the built-in reader.
When comes to video output, the twin HDMI 2.0 connectors mean you can easily hook up a pair of 4K monitors (with the ability to plug into 8K screens via the USB4 ports too), and it connects to the net with Wi-Fi 6E for blazing fast wireless speeds, and makes use of 3D stereoscopic antennas for stronger reception and weir coverage, meaning strong and stable wireless performance even if there are multiple walls between the machine and your router. A 2.5Gb Ethernet port is present on the back of the PC if the extra reliability of wired networking is more your thing.
Built to last
The high-strength metal frame of the GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition means it's less likely to be damaged if it falls, but also has the effect of increasing the amount of electronic interference the device is capable of tolerating, making it ideal for use in environments with lots of wireless traffic. It's further protected by a UV resin coating, which helps to reduce scratches to keep it looking fresh and sleek even after long use.
Inside that casing, you'll find a 12th-gen Intel Core processor – the potent i7-1280P. This 14-core chip capable of up to 4.80 GHz is capable of running office and productivity software, web browsers and cloud apps, image- and video-editing applications as well as coding, database management, web development and more. Its integrated GPU is also a highly capable gaming chip, and has no problem running titles such as League of Legends and Genshin Impact.
Backing up this highly capable processor you'll find 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, all tied together by Windows 11 Pro. All this power is kept cool by a newly developed all-copper cooling system that offers better heat conduction than aluminium, with a smart fan control system for efficient dissipation of heat with minimal noise. Whatever you're doing, whether it's video editing or programming, you'll get smooth performance without thermal throttling.
Low temps, low price
Perhaps the biggest strength of the GEEKOM IT12 2025 Edition is the exceptional value for money it offers. Significantly cheaper than similarly specced mini PCs from other manufacturers, the GEEKOM PC stands out as one of the best in its field for one of the most affordable prices.
All GEEKOM products go through strict quality control processes, with 339 individual tests ensuring the long-term stability of the PC, as well as optimal temperature and noise levels, USB and HDMI compatibility, and wireless signal strength. GEEKOM PCs come with a three-year warranty and 24/7 after-sales support.

Ilkay Gundogan double helps Man City thrash Al Ain at Club World Cup
The Premier League side were far too strong for their Abu Dhabi-based opponents under a closed roof at Atlanta's spectacular Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The result seemed certain from the moment Gundogan, who has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, opened the scoring – perhaps fortuitously – by lobbing the keeper after eight minutes. A magnificent Manchester City display. ✨ #FIFACWC — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) June 23, 2025 Teenager Claudio Echeverri marked his first City start by adding the second from a free-kick and Erling Haaland made it 3-0 at half-time from the penalty spot. Gundogan finished off a neat move after 73 minutes before substitutes Oscar Bobb and Rayan Cherki struck late on to ensure City and Juventus will progress from Group G. The two sides will meet in Orlando on Thursday to settle top spot, with Real Madrid potentially lying in wait in the first knockout round. City, who made 11 changes from their opening win over Wydad Casablanca, were quick to take charge, although it was not obvious if Gundogan intended his chip as an attempt on goal. The Germany midfielder beat a challenge and delicately lofted the ball in the direction of Haaland at the back post, but no extra touch was required as the ball dropped into the net. Despite their clear superiority, City did still have some awkward moments at the back and one such saw Nassim Chadli break through on goal but Stefan Ortega touched the former Morocco youth international's shot behind. 💥 NUMBER 6! Rayan Cherki joins the party with a clean finish — City running wild! Watch the @FIFACWC | June 14 – July 13 | Every Game | Free | | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld #MCIAIN — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 23, 2025 There was a lengthy delay as Echeverri, making his first City start, required treatment following a collision. The Argentinean's problem was clearly not too serious as moments later he stepped up to curl in City's second after Matheus Nunes was hauled down after 27 minutes. Haaland could have added another within seconds after robbing Park Yong-woo and rounding Khalid Eisa but he shot across goal from a tight angle. As the first Mexican waves of the evening gathered momentum, Josko Gvardiol went even closer when he headed against the post. Haaland dragged another effort wide after being played in by Bernardo Silva but he finally got his goal after City were awarded a penalty in first-half stoppage time. A defining day in Group G, but all to play for in Group H. 🤯#FIFACWC — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) June 23, 2025 The referee initially ignored City's claims after Manuel Akanji was wrestled to the ground by Ramy Rabia but the decision was changed after a VAR review. Haaland, who attracted criticism after handing a penalty to Omar Marmoush – who subsequently missed – in the FA Cup final, calmly sent the keeper the wrong way. Nunes went close to adding to the score after a clever flick and turn but his volley flew narrowly side. Phil Foden, who came on at half-time, picked out Haaland with a low cross from the left but Eisa denied him with a double save. The fourth goal came when Gundogan took a pass from Silva and brilliantly dinked over Eisa. City rammed home their advantage in the closing minutes as Bobb fired a shot inside the post and new signing Cherki struck with a low effort from the edge of the area.
