I gave this super light laptop a five-star review – it could have been six stars if I'd seen the Prime Day deal first
The Geekom X16 Pro has a mind-boggling $500 off the usual price for Prime Day
When I reviewed the Geekom X16 Pro in May I didn't hesitate in giving it the full five stars. The first Windows laptop from a brand best know for its quality mini PCs has an enormous 16-inch IPS display and more than decent processing oomph, yet comes in a chassis that weighs about the same as a 13-inch MacBook Neo.
I also thought it was great value at the time, with the higher-end Intel Core Ultra 9-185H model costing far less than equivalently spec'ed rivals. And that was without its current Prime Day price drop.
You can also order the same model from Geekom itself and get an even bigger bargain. It's available for $1,119 when bought directly from the manufacturer's US website. You just need to enter the unique T3 code at checkout: T3GKX6D.
The Amazon deal is available until the end of Prime Day on Friday 26 June, while the direct Geekom deal will continue until 2 July 2026 – so you have a bit more time if you miss out.
Naturally, if you order from Amazon the X16 Pro can be delivered the next day. There are benefits to both, therefore, which is why I include them.
As I originally wrote in my review, the X16 Pro is a "confident, powerful PC". It comes with 17-hour battery life and weighs just 2.8lb (1.27kg). That's even with its huge 16-inch display.
It is superthin too, at just under 7mm at its thinnest point, and only 11mm at its thickest. While the display is excellent, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution.
There are a stack of connectivity options, including USB 4.0 and HDMI 2.0, and there's Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 on board.
It's currently only available in the US, but I'm seriously hoping it comes to the UK and Europe as well at some point in the future.
