Geekom Mini PC subjected to severe trials, including hammer assault, motorbike dragging, and washing machine spin, miraculously continues to function.
Reinforced against RoughHandling: Geekom, a go-to brand for mini PCs, showcases the resilience of their latest model, the IT15, by subjecting it to unprecedented doses of violence in a shocking video. We're used to witnessing gadgets endure usual rigors like drops, crushings, and splashes during standard lubricity tests. Yet, the puny IT15—sporting an Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 285H under its hood—stands up to spiteful treatment that includes being run over by a 1.8-ton behemoth, hung up, walloped with a baseball bat, sledgehammered, dragged along a tarmac road at high speed, dropped from heights, chilled by nippy gases, toasted by blowtorches, and even tumbled in a washing machine—all without breaking a sweat!
The video begins with the IT15 flaunting a false sense of reassurance as it nestles securely in an aluminum flight case before the assault kicks off. The dangerous games include the car driving over the minuscule PC two times, the finger-sized machine teetering on threads only to be swatted by a baseball bat, enduring sledgehammer blows under concrete blocks, being dragged along a road by a motorbike, dropped down concrete steps, plunged into ice-cold temperatures, scorched by fire, and, finally, given a detrimental spin in the washing machine.
After this marathon of torture, the IT15—looking considerably battle-scarred—is shown to power up effortlessly. It's almost as if the mini PC dared us to challenge its might, declaring itself indestructible! Placed on a pad of books, it meets a short, seemingly merciful respite. Until, that is, it gets dropped down concrete steps again, doomed to face the severe cold and scorching heat one more time.
Treating a mini PC to a washing machine spin may not be the smartest choice, on most accounts. But when it comes to the Geekom IT15, it appears this isn't such a terrible idea—given that, post the wash session, plugging it into a power source and monitor reveals the PC functioning just fine! The close-up reveal of its injured appearance is almost surreal, with the video ending on the terse, boastful caption, "It just won't break," which might just be taken as a challenge.
"Serious Stress Testing?"
curious about the extreme tests, we reached out to Geekom. They insist that the extreme tests we see in the video represent "serious stress testing" meant to spotlight the IT15's sturdy ABS shell, which is cushioned and reinforced with a sturdy internal metal frame, ensuring unparalleled strength[1]. In fact, their official product pages assert that the device can endure 200 kg of force without showing apparent deformation, all thanks to its metallic frame and foundation.
Beyond mere durability, the IT15 touts some impressive specs, including a petite size, capable expandability (an additional M.2 2242 SSD slot and ample room for a 2.5-inch SATA drive), along with a varied selection of ports for its size.
