Air12

Here I'm using a Geekom Air12 Lite, also with Intel N150, a cheap processor from early 2025 that has QuickSync hardware transcoding (it can decode every format, but encode in HEVC and H264 but not AV1). I don't know if there's a newer CPU at the same price, but this one has a nice linux support nowa

Geekom Air12 Lite owner here. Same as the rest, it's good for a first cheap server with a nice hardware transcoding (for Plex / Jellyfin) and very low power consumption. I used these guides for the LAN driver: https://github.com/dante1613/Motorcomm-YT6801/ I'm running Ubuntu Server, but if you use P

With some exceptions to motherboard architecture & stick memory DRAM quality, Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake CPUs can support up to 32GB DDR4/64GB DDR5. Due to limits of the Gracemont/Atom microarchitecture & IMC restraints, the only drawback as utilized memory volume increases, maximum memory bandwidth dec

Recently have a local IT group choose the Geekom Air12 over a number of Chi-NUC competitors for a number of reasons, the primary being build quality. Other advantages included Adata CBDAD6S480016G-B commercial grade 16GB DDR5 SODIMM Gen3x4 supported Lexar LNM620X512G-RNNNU NM620 512GB retail NVMe Re

First, understand that Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake mPCs are generally "a race to the bottom", where cost-cutting is the goal & expectations for failure can be relatively on. "You get what you pay for..." Alternately, & to some extent "ironically", the Geekom Mini Air12 appears to be in a class of its own

Don't know if they rounded down from 10.4W or rounded up from 9.6W. The problem with idle consumption, is it depends on the parameters for idling. As an example, we currently have 2 Geekom Air12 under test for a customer. One is a clean install running 8.8W/hr idle, the other 10.1W/hr @ idle fully c

Ok so you first are trying 32Gb 5600MT/s 2Rx8. I hope it works, if not, 1Rx8 24gb will have a very high chance. I'm still researching beelink s13 and gmktec g3 plus on the side, but those have really poor ssd read/write speeds (avg 800mb/s) and even fail completely after a few months according to us

Don't know about ONN devices (check app store) but I use a firetv cube and sticks as well as a chromebook, android mobiles and tablet as well as via a web browser to access Channels DVR and it works fine on them. The Channels DVR server software doesn't take much to run it. From a NAS to old PC's wi

first of all, stick to Intel version mini PCs since they have better performance in video encoding and decoding. In your case, powerful CPU is not necessary in your set up. If you have enough budget, get a GEEKOM IT12 i5-12450H. Otherwise, get a GEEKOM Air12 with N150 CPU

GEEKOM Air12 can run Home Assistant, Homebridge & Matterbridge via Docker, but 7 webcams might be too much for the N150. For smoother performance, consider a higher-end model like GEEKOM A5 or GEEKOM A6.
