GEEKOM is a Taiwanese multinational consumer electronics company specializing in mini PCs. It is one of the largest manufacturers of mini PCs in the world.

History[edit]

Kom de Olde founded GEEKOM in 2003 with the expressed goal of dedicating the company to the "research and development of computer products."[1] In late 2021, GEEKOM switched its focus to the mini PC market and has since become one of the world's leading manufacturers of mini PCs.[2][3]

Products[edit]

GEEKOM specializes in the production and sale of mini PCs. It launched its first flagship mini PC, the Mini IT8, on 20 November 2021.[2] The Mini IT8 has been praised as an "affordable and compact" alternative to NUCs, a similar line of barebone computers produced by Intel.[4][5] As of August 2022, GEEKOM has released the following three mini PCs in addition to the Mini IT8: the Mini IT8 SE,[3] MiniAir 11,[6][7] and Mini IT11.[3]

In January 2022, GEEKOM partnered with Intel to launch its first gaming laptop, the GEEKOM BookFun 11, marking GEEKOM's first venture into the smart laptop market.[8]
