"When I go for a laptop, I typically prefer those in the 13- to 14-inch range. Every once in a while, however, I test a 16-inch laptop that makes me rethink my stance on size. Such was the case with the Geekom Geekbook X16 Pro . Although it might look a bit on the generic side, it's actually far nicer than its appearance would imply."
"Once the laptop was unleashed from its packaging, I plugged it in and fired it up. Then Windows 11 reminded me why I loathe Microsoft's operating system. First off, it took over an hour to finally get to the login prompt. An hour. Come on, Microsoft. On top of that, I had to dismiss so many purchase options that my head wound up spinning in revolt. I was so tempted to shut it down, insert a bootable Linux USB drive,"
Geekom's Geekbook X16 Pro is a 16-inch laptop offered with Intel Core U9-185H or U5-125H processors, Intel Arc graphics, and an integrated NPU, delivering notable performance for the price. The chassis appears generic but offers build and functionality stronger than its looks suggest. The device weighs 2.87 pounds, making it lighter than a MacBook Pro M1 and comfortable for lap use. Windows 11 setup on the unit can be lengthy and include numerous purchase prompts that frustrate users. Geekom's experience producing small form-factor desktops informs the laptop's solid performance and value proposition.
