There are quite a few tempting deals on Geekom’s online store thanks to substantial “Super Sale Week” price slashes, but the one that stands out the most involves the A8 mini PC configured with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor along with 32 GB DDR5-5600 RAM and a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Right now, this model is discounted to $849 and with the “A8DEALSEPT” coupon code, the price can be further reduced down to $699. This offer comes with a free wireless keyboard mouse combo.

The R9 8945HS processor is top-of-the-line for the Hawk Point architecture, with 8x Zen 4 cores and 16 threads that can boost to 5.2 GHz at 45 W sustained TDP. It also integrates the fast Radeon 780M GPU and a second gen XDNA NPU. While Geekom mentions that the maximum RAM capacity via the two DIMMs is only 64 GB with DDR5-5600 speeds, users may still equip up to 96 GB with DDR5-4800 speeds. On the storage side, Geekom provides a high quality Acer N5000 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that is not throttled thermally.

Port selection is quite generous for a device this small and includes 3x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (1 with power delivery), 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, 1x USB 2.0, 1x USB4, 2x HDMI 2.0 video outs, full-size SD card reader, 2.5 GbE jack and audio jack. Wireless connectivity is ensured via a Wi-Fi 6E BT 5.2 card.

As far as the chassis is concerned, Geekom’s A8 model measures 38 x 112 x 112 mm (1.5 x 4.41 x 4.41 in) and total system weight is 432 g. The included power supply adds 255 g. Geekom provides a 3-year warranty.

Our review revealed that the chassis is sturdy with high-quality materials and the hardware components are indeed fast; however, the cooling system seems inadequate as it ramps to maximum RPM very fast and becomes noisy under full load.
