GEEKOM A5 2026 Mini PC with Windows 11 Pro, with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U (Beats 4300U/5500U, Up to 4.4GHz) 16GB High Speed RAM & 512GB SSD, Dual HDMI 8K Quad Display/WiFi 6 for Video Editing/Graphic Design

Bought this to replace my wife's non-windows 11 upgradable PC (well, we all know it can run Win11 fine, but, thanks to a certain large software company who makes operating systems it is deemed not worthy of their latest-and-greatest release). Anyway, I have a bit of a thing for mini-PCs at the moment, and if you are looking for a daily driver for surfing, web-based stuff, office / meeting apps, watching streaming stuff and pretty much anything else up to and including light duty video / image editing then something like the Geekom A5 will suit you down to the ground. This particular box comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, 16GB DDR4 RAM (max of 64GB installable in the two slots) & 512GB NVMe SSD, Vega 8 Graphics, Window 11 Pro, WiFi 6, BT 5.2 a bunch of USB 3 & 2 ports and also 2x USB-C that you can output video from (theoretically this thing can drive 4 displays, I've done 2 quite happily using the HDMI ports). It also has an RJ45 ethernet port for wired connections. It can also take an additional M.2 NVMe (2242) SSD OR 2.5 inch SATA SSD alongside the full-length 2280 NVMe boot drive. While not the most powerful CPU the Ryzen 5 7430U (laptop CPU) is 6 cores / 12 threads and can handle pretty much whatever you need it to do (loads of chrome tabs? bit of streaming? working? it barely heats up and I have yet to hear the fan). One benefit is that it only draws around 15W when doing general things so you can literally leave it running all day and not pay a fortune for the electricity. It's easy to open and add the extra drives or replace / upgrade the RAM 4 screws and you're done. 5 if you include the NVMe lock screw. The whole unit is tiny and is quite hefty and feels very solid. And from a noise point of view effectively silent. If you stick it on performance mode and then make it render video files etc then you'll get fan noise like any other small machine or laptop, but other than that, you don't know it's there. Installation tip: If you don't want to use or don't have a MS account, when you go through the set up DO NOT connect it to your network via wire or wireless, use the local / offline account option and get into the desktop. Once there, you can then run windows update to get everything up to the current version. You can then log in if you want to. It will of course nag you constantly and try and blackmail you into using your MS account, but there really is no need to, it works perfectly well without it. A surprisingly well built and solid feeling little box, that if you get when on offer is excellent value for money and also slightly upgradable in terms of storage and RAM. Lots of connectivity so likely will suit all your peripherals. Well worth the purchase. Incidentally, the old pc? Currently turning it into a Linux-based media box to stick down on the floor by the TV so we can use it to enhance the no so smart goggle box on the living room wall.

This Geekom A6 packs lots of power into its tiny form. The AMD Ryzen 7 processor, combined with 32 Gb of RAM is more than enough for everyday use and more. It runs Microsoft Office easily and is quick. The aluminium chassis is similar to the Apple Mac Mini, but in an even smaller size, it is quiet in use and has enough ports for the usual needs. The sound quality is tinny, as expected with such a small speaker, but I use a bluetooth speaker which works very well. A very competent pc, with excellent support staff. Would recommend.

I bought this mini PC to manage my USB oscilloscope and a couple of other instruments on my electronic workbench. I did not want to connect test instruments that may be connected to high voltage sources to my my main workstation. I installed Windows 10 enterprise IoT 2021 LTSC that is supported by Microsoft until 2032. The installer (and Windows update) could not find the wifi driver. I sent an email to Geekom support and had a quick response pointing me at the downloads section on their website (which I should have looked at first). The PC works brilliantly along with a cheap 14 inch touch screen portable monitor. The availability of displayport over the usbc connection makes it a single-cable interface to the monitor for power, display and touch! The system is very responsive, and runs silently. I stopped using Apple Macs once they stopped being upgradable. Geekom have made it easy to upgrade memory, storage and even the bluetooth/wifi card. It also has space for an additional disk. I would have preferred a black box instead of the shiny gold, but it runs 24/7 out of sight! It would make an excellent media PC or desktop for most day-to-day use!

so far so good. Very easy to set up. Takes up no space on the desk and seems pretty responsive. The graphics on my old games don't look great (Red Alert 2) but that may be me choosing the wrong version of direct x when setting up

Astonishing! It's very fast and expandable by anyone with eyesight and hands! I just couldn't stomach he price of inflexible mid spec Desktops and confess this was a leap of faith. It's built like a 5 Series BMW and makes less noise than a Bentley!

So far, so good. All set up and running. Performing well with snappy responsiveness and better than expected graphics. Quiet running too.

Excellent product. Fantastic value for money. Very fast. Easy to set up.

Packaged well and very easy to set up. Connection to router, monitor, keyboard, mouse & printer all straightforward. I'm just amazed that something so small performs so well. I still can't quite get used to my old gaming tower PC not being the first thing I see when I walk into my den 🤣. There is some occasional noise from the fan, but it's nowhere near as loud or frequent as the old PC and I certainly don't find it intrusive.
