BEST Mini PC! True Apple Mac Mini M2 KILLER?! (Geekom AS 6 review) | VERSUS

GEEKOM AS 6 Official purchase link: bit.ly/GEEKOMA...
US$30 off Coupon code: "Versus30"
The Geekom AS6 Mini-PC is one of the most comfortable to use computers I have ever seen in my life. Not only is it way smaller than a regular tower PC, it's even smaller than a laptop - and in some cases, more powerful. The design also makes it very appealing for people who prefer minimalistic setups. We put it up against a Mac Mini with an M2 chip that was twice the price, and got very surprising results. Would you consider buying one of these? Tell us your thoughts!

I see the desire to compare the geekom to a beefed up apple but show use the numbers of a bare bones 599 to the geekom, or even the 16gb 799 version of the m2 to make the price one for one...what can I get for the same 799 between the two?

[@BadUncleWilly]

I'm on team Geekom, I have one and love it. I do a lot of audio mixing and mastering, it works great. Besides, buy apple, your paying for the name, status, I guess some folks need that (I'm talking to you bro!).

[@petrostzekos8914]

I would buy the Mac, but instead of M2/24/1T I would get an M2 Pro/16/512 configuration.

[@dread8900]

great spec

[@rodmunch69]

Or just buy the Mac Mini base model for $499 (say you're a student, save $100), and also right now you get another $100 gift card when you buy it, then take all the money you're saving and buy bitcoin, and you're set for retirement.

[@ydupraz]

In this type of test, there's never any comparison with regard to the noise of the machine. Barebones are often much noisier than the Mac mini, which remains almost inaudible. Two HDMI ports and no usb-c at the back - who are we kidding? In 2024 = unacceptable.

[@Ranger7Studios]

How jittery was the playback on the video when editing on the Geekom? So far, I have yet to find a mini pc that can handle even 8 bit h.264 or mov without jittering like crazy.

[@UltrafiAV]

Agreed. How does it perform when scrubbing through a complex timeline? Or start/stop performance? Does it drop frames or does it play smoothly?

[@normandy1979]

5800H minipc is better than 6800H or even 7840hs in this subject of test, MacOS~

[@raed.gilani]

This means that Geekbench scores are actually true, while Cinebench doesn’t.

[@forzaroma8659]

Geekbench Is fake cinebench Is real

[@raed.gilani]

@@forzaroma8659 bro you can see it for yourself, mac mini (when tested in real world) took much lesser time (40% lesser) to do the same task- similar to the multicore score of geekbench. Cinebench may be the culprit here.

[@S1eepers]

applebench as its known as, was made by apple fanboys, so yeah. cinebench is the only real test. @@raed.gilani

What's this models

[@granterickson7588]

Russia GDP is 1.779 trillion USD, New York City was 1.56 trillion U.S. dollars. Let that sink in.

What the hell😅.

[@DARKSHREK000]

The pricing of Apple products is delusional. For $1400, you can get a bleeding edge workstation PC. And then you can even convert that into a Hackintosh

[@tnproduction7674]

There is a thing called optimization. So your hackintosh simulator is useless.

[@TheWion]

Yeah, but depends, the Mac Mini is cheaper than the GEEKOM AS 6, 889 (659 with discount) vs 599, and also has better performance

[@DARKSHREK000]

@@tnproduction7674 $1400 your dealing in seconds and minutes at most, not hours. Optimization argument is nothing at that point.

[@tnproduction7674]

@@DARKSHREK000 well my MacBook pro 14 is better in every way than my pc except gaming. Problem with pc is not the build but the laggy outdated windows sydtem.

[@rodmunch69]

@@tnproduction7674 Windows is actually quite great at the moment and well optimized, the issue is hardware. Microsoft has been trying for a decade to get people to move to ARM processors, and obviously no one wants to do that when they're so much slower and have such bad software support. However, Apple, making their own chips, has leapfrogged everyone, and it's not even close. Microsoft has to deal with Qualcom if it wants to get ARM processors and they're so far behind Apple it's ridiculous. Additionally Apple is just releasing some very modest updates at the moment, but all the rumors say they've got much bigger spec jumps ready to go if challenged. It's not Microsoft at fault that hardware makers have fallen behind, and so far MS doesn't seem to want to get involved directly in making their own stuff, but they should consider it since it could power not just PC, but XBOX and Surface, etc. But in any case, all the credit goes to Apple for their decision years ago to start making their own hardware and to stop relying on companies (to design / not produce).

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Just turn the Mac Mini around brother! Look at all those ports! If you don’t mind the ports and wires coming out of the front, why would you mind a power jack? And with it turned around like that, it looks just as plastic and cheap as your optional set up! 😂😂😂 My point is that aluminum will last a hell of a lot longer than a computer in a plastic box! I use to buy plastic box alternatives for Guitar stomp boxes, and they never lasted! But having said that, whatever drives the price down on a computer that can edit video & music with all of the other computer basics needed in 2023 & beyond is always good for the consumer! My M2 absolutely runs my channel! Before that I ran my channel on a 2020 iPad Pro, which I still edit on from time to time. Unless you’re doing video that demands a high end computer with a zillion gig of ram, and a quadrillion GB storage, the M2 accomplishes what most content creators need to accomplish. Like you said at the beginning of your excellent video: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Nice comparison!❤❤❤

[@Trashpanda_404]

Yeah but Apple internal power sources tax the CPU. Given how bloated Windows is, wonde how the little guy would work as a Hackintosh?

[@rodmunch69]

Another one of these paid reviews? LOL!

[@solidname9085]

Compare mobile processor and pc processor

[@TheWion]

Both are "pc" processors, they just use diferent architectures ARM vs x86_64 iPad Pro uses m2 too, but has less performance that the m2 that the Macs have

[@mr_don_key]

benchmarks are completely useless, since they measure things in very specific ways.. Also the numbers don't say much, in real life use. e.g. 1000 score vs 700, what does that say? how much slower is the latter? in real usage that is? does this means 1 second slower? 2? 10? a benchmark cannot say that. Also your "real life" usage is quite specific (video/photo), which is unfair because of the encoders that are in place in the mac. You should do tests that do not use these hardware advantages. Thus a more fair compare.

[@akin242002]

Those tests are stress tests. Single core will dominate most uses. Multi-core scores show what extreme limits are for any computer or laptop.

[@cameraprepper7938]

I want to see more like this high performance compact PC, I need a new desktop PC. I got the MacBook Air M1 just to find out that you just cannot get as many or as good apps for Mac, bummer !
