Here, the GEEKOM MiniAir 11 is thus much more broadly positioned than, for example, the more expensive Aerofara Aero 5 Pro or Apple’s current MacMini with M1 chip. The following ports are added here once again:Ī lot more ports are added in the back. On the other hand, you’ll find most of the ports on the back. In addition, however, there are the following ports:Īlready at the front, the most important ports await you, easily accessible On the front is of course the (appropriately also square) power button, which you can use to turn on the MiniAir 11. I find it absolutely amazing what a wide selection they cram into such a compact case here. This is also evident in the selection of ports, which GEEKOM sensibly distributes across the front and back. What ports does the GEEKOM MiniAir 11 offer? All in all, the design looks well thought-out, tidy and pleasantly simple. The sides are also kept in a matte silver tone, whereas the front panel is even darker. The third and largest air vent is found in the upper third on the back of the mini-PC.

You can also access the inside of the Mini-PC by loosening the four screws.
On the bottom, you’ll find the serial number and some information, two screw threads for mounting on a wall or monitor, as well as the four rubberized feet, which you can also unscrew if desired. The inscription “Intel Inside” is found on the upper right. Only the upper side is kept in glossy black and is centrally adorned by the GEEKOM logo. In addition, the manufacturer relies on a simple look. With dimensions of 11.5 cm x 11.0 cm x 4.0 cm (width x depth x height) including rubberized feet, the MiniAir 11 certainly lives up to its name and turns out even smaller than the Aerofara Mini PC, which we tested in March. The GEEKOM MiniAir 11 presents itself as a really compact box kept in black. Rounding out the package is an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort adapter for connecting a second monitor, if that’s what you want. But corresponding cables are available in almost everyone’s home anyway. An HDMI cable is also included in the box for the picture output, which turns out to be quite manageable with a length of one meter. In addition, there is a cloth bag for safe transport and a plate with screws for potential wall mounting.
There is, of course, the obligatory power supply including power cable, a manual and even a thank-you card for the purchase. Besides the actual mini-PC, the manufacturer includes a whole host of accessories. It comes in a square, white cardboard box, which is packed to the brim despite its manageable size.
The GEEKOM MiniAir 11 marks the most affordable mini PC in the manufacturer’s portfolio and relies on… well, let’s say familiar and distinctive terms from another manufacturer for its naming.
