Geekom GeekBook M16
The Geekom GeekBook M16 is a 16-inch laptop with an Intel processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512-GB SSD. It has a good performance, build quality, and battery life, but lacks an integrated LAN port and has poor factory calibration of its display.
The Geekom GeekBook M16 is a laptop that leaves an overall good impression in terms of performance, build quality, and battery life. According to the review by igorslab, the laptop has a 16-inch display, an Intel processor from the U9-185H class, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512-GB SSD.
Display and Performance
The display has a resolution of 1,920 × 1,200 pixels, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and is suitable for everyday use, but not designed for fast-paced gaming. The factory white point is approximately 9,600 K, which is far too cool and visibly blue-tinted. The sRGB coverage out of the box is 74.8%, which is insufficient for color-critical use.
In terms of performance, the laptop holds its own well in the comparison field of the tested mini-PCs. The review states that the difference compared with a mini-PC using the same processor is not large in the test.
Specifications and Features
The following specifications are noted in the review:
| Specification | Value |

Limitations and Conclusion
The review notes that the laptop has some limitations, including the lack of an integrated LAN port, a very cool factory white point, and only 74.8% sRGB coverage. The 60-Hz display with an average response time of 13.1 ms is also not suitable for fast games. However, the review also states that calibration significantly improves the panel, with sRGB coverage increasing to 95.5% and average Delta E 2000 decreasing to 0.77. The battery life is also noted to be almost 17 hours during media playback.
The laptop's price is stated to be 729 euros, which is almost 200 euros below the next device with this processor and the same equipment at the time of publication.
The SSD temperature was measured to be 43 °C maximum, while the SSD was filled to 90% at an average of 110 MB/s.
