Geekom Air12 2026: £299 ultra-compact mini PC

Geekom has released the Air12 2026 Edition, an ultra-compact mini PC with a suggested price of £299 in the UK. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro and uses an Intel Pentium Gold 7505 processor.

The device measures 117 x 112 x 34.2 mm and weighs 460 g. The chassis has a two-tone gray and black finish, rounded corners and four rubber feet. Geekom states the enclosure can withstand up to 200 kg of pressure.

Front connections include one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, one USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, a 3.5 mm audio jack and a power button. The rear panel provides a DC input, mini DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, two additional USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an Ethernet port and a second USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode. An SD card slot and a Kensington lock sit on the sides.

Inside, the Air12 is equipped with a two-core Intel Pentium Gold 7505, Intel UHD integrated graphics, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB PCIe Gen 3 SSD. The Pentium 7505 was designed for low-power notebooks and favors efficiency and single-thread performance rather than heavy multi-core or graphics workloads.

Benchmark results show a Geekbench 6 single-core score of 1,460 and a multi-core score of 2,823. The OpenCL GPU score is 7,807. Sequential SSD performance measured about 557 MB/s for reads and 480 MB/s for writes.

Those performance and storage figures are consistent with other entry-level mini PCs using similar components. Mid-range and higher-end mini PCs with newer processors and NVMe SSDs report read speeds in the thousands of MB/s and higher multi-core scores.

The £299 configuration offers a small footprint and a wide selection of ports. Discounted listings may appear on retail channels. Increasing the budget by roughly £100 to £200 provides access to systems with newer processors, faster SSDs and stronger multi-core and graphics performance.
