Watch Geekom beat the ever-loving crap out of its own mini PC

One of the things I miss about covering smartphones is the designated “rugged” phone models, like Samsung’s Galaxy Active series and whatever weird phone is using the Caterpillar license this year. There’s just something satisfying about a gadget that can take more pounding than an inappropriate simile. Today, mini PC vendor Geekom is giving me a little of that old fun back. A new promotional video for the Geekom IT15 (spotted by Tom’s Hardware), a model packing some impressive Intel-powered guts, shows off how much abuse it can take. The promotional page for the tiny 117x112mm desktop PC says that it’s using an “all metal frame and base” covered in ABS plastic, that can withstand 200 kilograms (441 pounds) of force without deforming. ⚠️ Warning: The following content is extremely satisfying.Get your GEEKOM IT15
