Speakers & Audio
1. What are the speaker specifications?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Equipped with dual 2W speakers (stereo), professionally tuned by DTS for immersive surround sound experience.
2. Headphones work fine but speakers suddenly have no sound, why?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: The most common reason is system audio output set mistakenly to headphone mode. Please check: right-click volume icon on taskbar → Sound settings → Output device; ensure "Speakers" is selected, not "Headphones." If ineffective, restart the computer or update audio drivers (Realtek/AMD/Intel sound card drivers).
3. Only one speaker side has no sound?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: If only one side is silent, channel balance might be skewed. Check: Settings → System → Sound → Device properties → Additional device properties → Levels → Balance; set left and right channels to center (50/50). If ineffective, contact after-sales for hardware check.
4. Persistent electrical noise during playback?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: First, confirm if there are interference sources nearby (high-power devices, network equipment, etc.). If issue persists, contact after-sales for inspection. Common causes include electromagnetic interference, grounding loops, or driver issues. Updating audio drivers or using external speakers may help.
5. Volume at max but sound is still low?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Laptop speakers usually ≤2W, max volume suitable for close-range use. Use in quiet environment close to the device or connect external speakers/headphones. If still low, check Windows volume mixer for app volume levels or update DTS/audio enhancement drivers.
6. Does high volume cause speaker resonance?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: At extreme max volume, some models may exhibit slight resonance due to chassis or internal structure. This is a physical phenomenon, not a quality issue. Recommended to keep volume at 70-80% to avoid.
7. Is there distortion when watching movies on speakers?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: No. DTS professional tuning ensures no distortion at normal volume. If distortion occurs, it may be due to source file or system enhancement settings; try disabling extra audio effects.
8. Is there noise or abnormal sound during audio playback?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: No abnormal noise during normal use. If present, check for environmental interference or driver issues; contact after-sales for further inspection.

6. Wi-Fi shows full signal but slow speed or frequent disconnections?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Typically caused by interference or frequency band issues. Keep laptop close to router, use 5GHz band for faster speed and better interference resistance, avoid interference sources like microwave or cordless phone. If problem persists, update Wi-Fi driver or reset network settings.
7. Device Manager shows network card with yellow exclamation mark?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: This indicates driver malfunction. Update Wi-Fi driver via GEEKOM PC Manager or AMD/Intel official site. If issue remains, restart or contact after-sales for further diagnosis.

X16 Pro & X14 Pro: No need. Modern lithium batteries can be charged as used. It is recommended to keep charge between 20%~80% for optimal battery life.
3. How is battery life?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Battery life varies depending on configuration, applications, functions, usage, wireless features, screen brightness, power management settings, etc. It is recommended to use with power connected. When using battery alone, set power mode to power saving/balanced and reduce screen brightness to extend battery life.
4. How to charge properly to extend battery life?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Avoid extreme battery states (long-term 0% or 100%), charge as used, avoid deep discharge; keep battery between 20%~80%; use power adapter for long usage to reduce battery cycles.
5. How to store battery when not using laptop for a long time?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Adjust charge to about 50%: discharge or charge to 50% before storage, avoid full or empty storage; store in cool dry place (recommended 15~25°C), check and recharge to 50% every 3~6 months.
6. Does charging while using damage the battery?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: No. Battery stops charging automatically when full and switches to direct power supply mode, avoiding frequent charge cycles. Modern laptops have smart battery management protection.
7. How does battery life compare to Apple MacBook Pro models?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Under typical office use, battery life is about 12~15 hours (data from GEEKOM lab under 25°C room temperature, factory default settings, 150 nits brightness, Windows update off, network connected, balanced power mode). Actual times vary by configuration and usage. Compared to MacBook Pro (M series chips), battery life is similar or slightly shorter in light office scenarios, depending on usage and power management. Thank you for your interest!
8. Is there any difference between charging while playing and unplugging after full charge?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: It is recommended to use the adapter while charging (charging during use) to fully utilize device performance (CPU/GPU at full power) and smarter battery management, reducing wear. Using on battery after full charge is possible but may limit performance (depending on power mode). Both have minimal impact on battery life; connecting power is preferred.
Power Adapter & Charging Cable
1. Can I use a car charger?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Yes, but with strict conditions. You need a car charger specifically designed for your laptop model or a PD protocol supporting car charger with sufficient power (usually ≥65W). Do not use ordinary car chargers with adapters; voltage and current mismatch may damage battery or motherboard.
2. Does it support third-party PD charging?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Most modern thin and light laptops support this. Confirm if your laptop’s Type-C port has a "charging" or "Thunderbolt" label. If yes, you can use third-party PD-compliant Type-C chargers. Ensure charger output power (e.g., 65W) is not less than original adapter to avoid slow charging or performance limits under heavy load.
3. Is adapter overheating normal?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Surface temperature of 40-60°C during operation (warm to hot but briefly touchable) is normal. If it becomes too hot to touch or emits burning smell, stop use immediately and contact after-sales. Keep adapter in well-ventilated area, avoid covering or stacking objects on it.
4. Is there a longer charging cable available?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Officially only standard length (1.8 meters) cable is provided. If longer cable is needed, purchase a quality extension cable with matching connectors. Ensure power rating and wire gauge (recommended 20V/5A or above) for safe and stable charging.
5. I feel a tingling sensation when plugging in the charger; is this normal?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Usually caused by poor or missing grounding in power outlet, resulting in slight leakage current (safe range but causes tingling). Ensure power outlet has proper grounding (use three-prong socket) or replace with grounded outlet/power strip. If persists, check original adapter or contact after-sales for inspection (rare cases of adapter internal faults may cause this).
6. How long to charge the first time?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: No special long charging needed; charge as used. Modern lithium batteries come partially charged from factory. First full charge usually takes 2-3 hours (depending on remaining battery and power). No need to wait 8-12 hours for activation.
7. Can a 65W charger charge this laptop?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Yes (if original adapter is 65W or below and supports PD protocol). 65W is sufficient for normal charging and light to moderate use, but may charge slowly or limit performance under heavy load (gaming/rendering). Using charger with power equal or greater than original is recommended for best experience.
8. Does the charging port support docks?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Yes. Most Type-C charging ports support PD charging + data + video output, compatible with docks that support PD power input.
9. Charger plugged in but not charging, why?
X16 Pro & X14 Pro: Common reasons: 1. Charger/cable damaged or loose → replace and test; 2. Type-C port dusty/oxidized → clean port; 3. System power management issue → restart or update BIOS/power drivers; 4. Battery protection triggered → power off and restart or hold power button 30-60 seconds to reset; 5. Third-party charger power/protocol mismatch → test with original charger. If still no charge, contact after-sales to check battery or motherboard.
