Geek KB7 is a "100 yuan" mini computer host that I am currently experiencing, and I personally feel that the Geek KB7 is not lackluster than some of the mini computer hosts of the same price or close to the price I have experienced before, such as: with LED color atmosphere lights, a top cover that can be quickly removed by hand (convenient for replacing hard disks by yourself), etc.
So the "protagonist" of this review article must be known to everyone, which is the geek KB7. Without further ado, let me show you these highlights of the Geek KB7. If you have the need to start a "100-yuan" mini computer host, this article may also become a reference for everyone.
What is the performance of the Geek KB7 and what can it do?
Geek KB7 can be said to be the "smallest" mini computer host I have come into contact with at present,In order to accurately show the small size of the geek KB7,I took a PSSD and micro SD card to shoot in the same frame with it,I believe you should be able to feel how big the whole machine size of the geek KB7 is, right?It's about the size of an adult's palm, and maybe a little smaller.
That's right, as for the ** aspect. Geek KB7 has 16GB memory 0GB hard disk and 16GB memory 512GB hard disk two versions, currently**799 yuan and 999 yuan respectively, so the official call it a "100 yuan" mini computer host, from the ** level alone, it is indeed less than 1000 yuan, staying on the "100 yuan".
In addition, although the Geek KB7 looks small, it feels acceptable in terms of performance, which can be described as "short and concise". The Geek KB7 is powered by an Intel N6005 processor, Intel UHD graphics, 16GB LPDDR4 onboard memory, and a 512GB SSD. I used Master Lu to conduct a hardware evaluation,You can see that the score is278430 points,It is not difficult to see from this score that Geek Kb7Meet daily audio-visual entertainment、Light office、Simple editing**,It should be stress-free and competent。
The network card of the Geek KB7 is Intel's AX201.
Use Geek KB7 to simply edit a 1 minute 33 seconds ** through Jianying**,Various operations in the editing process are also relatively smooth,Exporting in 4K resolution、60fps frame rate format,Geek KB7It takes about 1 minute and 40 seconds。
Geek KB7's hard disk read and write speed test results are real.
Through the AIDA64 test, the memory performance of the Geek KB7 is a real shot.
The performance of the geek KB7 in terms of heat dissipation is also good, I used AIDA64 to "bake" in the way of stress FPU for more than 30 minutes, and I can see that the maximum CPU core temperature of the geek KB7 is only 50. At the same time, I was a little surprised that the maximum temperature of its hard disk was only 30, and even in the "oven", the noise of the cooling fan of the geek KB7 is very small, unless you listen attentively, and when you are in a silent scene, the noise is basically negligible.
Geek KB7**Decoding ability is also OK,There are many supported formats,Use geek KB7 as an audio-visual **Device to connect with TV,It may be a good use。
In terms of games, from the performance level, Geek KB7 can play some terminal games, such as: play "Dungeons and Warriors", play at 1280*720 resolution, at this time the FPS is between 70-80;Changed to 1920*1080 resolution,FPS is about 50,It should be noted that,I'm playing a single copy here.,No test "playing group"。
I also tested playing League of Legends, and the resolution was 1920*1080, and the image was set to medium to low, and the game fps was around 40 to 50. To be honest,I'm not very satisfied with the FPS performance of the above Geek KB7 game,So I don't recommend using the Geek KB7 main game,Occasionally play the above two terminal games or other end games and emulator games that can be played without too high performance,Personally, I think the main application scenario of the geek KB7 should be office、Audio-visual entertainment。
Rich interfaces, LED color atmosphere lights, freehand quick-release top cover design
Finally, let's talk about the appearance details and interface design of the geek KB7. If you look closely, you can find that the top cover of the geek KB7 fuselage adopts a texture design similar to "metal brushing", which improves the design sense of the whole machine to a certain extent.
Geek KB7 is also rich in interface design,But because the fuselage is too small,The interface can not all be designed at the tail of the fuselage,So some interfaces are located on the left and right sides of the fuselage,If all the interfaces are connected to equipment or cables,It will be a little unsightly,But I personally said it is understandable,At least the geek KB7 did not cancel some interface designs under the pretext of the small fuselage,It's better than nothing。
There are a total of 2 USB3 on the right side of the body of the Geek KB72 (Gen2x1) port, 1 USB32 (gen1x1) interfaces, and the spacing between these interfaces is also relatively wide;At the rear of the fuselage, there is a Type-C power port, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 3The 5mm audio interface and dual network port design also mean that the Geek KB7 can be used as a soft router, etc.
In addition, since the input power requirements of the geek KB7 are relatively low, 12V 3A, plus the power interface of Type-C, so if there is a mobile phone charger or mobile power bank with suitable power, you can also supply power to the Geek KB7.
The power adapter is bigger than the mini computer host" is a point of view that I have seen netizens complain about in many mini computer host review articles and**. But this situation does not exist in Geek KB7,The left side of the picture above is the power adapter of the Geek KB7,You can see that it is much smaller than the host,If there is really a need for portability,Geek KB7 plus the power adapter will not occupy much backpack space when carried together。
At the beginning of the article, I mentioned that the Geek KB7 has the design of "LED color atmosphere light", which is located at the bottom of the fuselage and circles around the fuselage, adding a little cool to the whole machine.
In addition, as you can see from the picture above, there are a total of 3 HDMI 2 on the left side of the geek KB7 fuselage0 interface (4k 60hz).
Geek KB7 LED color atmosphere light has a total of 7 colors, you can switch on the BIOS, but I personally feel that it would be good if it could be set in the system, and it would be a little troublesome to switch the color every time you need to enter the BIOS.
Geek KB7's LED color ambient lighting "green" effect real shot.
The freehand quick-release top cover can be said to be a "heritage" design of the Geek mini computer host, and the top cover of the Geek KB7 is fixed by snapping, and it can be easily removed with your fingernails. After opening the top cover, you can see the hard disk of the Geek KB7, etc., and the design of the top cover is actually designed to allow users to replace the hard disk more easily and quickly.
It is worth mentioning that,Although the geek KB7 is a "100 yuan" mini computer host,But the details of the design of the whole machine are quite careful,Like the "white area" in the picture above is the internal roll cage,When the geek KB7 accidentally falls, it can effectively protect the internal hardware of the fuselage,To be honest, this roll cage design has not been available on some of the mid-to-high-end mini computer hosts I have experienced before。
The bottom cover of the Geek KB7 can also be removed, and you can see the LED ambient light and cooling fan after disassembly.
One last word
About the geek kb7 content is almost here,Personally, I feel that the comprehensive experience of this mini computer host is OK,Audio-visual entertainment、Office、Education and learning in daily life、Geek kb7 can be easily met,It should not be much of a problem to replace some desktop computer hosts。 As for playing games,Light games are OK.,Of course, there's no standard for this light game.,It depends on whether the game you play requires high performance.。
At the same time, coupled with the LED color atmosphere lights, rich interfaces, and freehand quick-release top cover, these highlight designs make the comprehensive experience of Geek KB7 to a higher level. As for the shortcomings, I feel that it would be nice to be able to replace one of the HDMI ports with a DP port.
