The RAM crisis has made Windows desktops almost unaffordable, but these mini PCs provide a better way to get work done without desk clutter

"This machine is excellent in providing an exceptionally flexible tool that can serve files from external storage, be a hardware firewall or do any job that involves external devices connected by USB or Thunderbolt." ~ Mark Pickavance, writer at TechRadar

TechRadar Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"It has the best single- and multi-core scores of any mini-PC I used, and it does a passable job at gaming, provided the title isn't too visually demanding." ~ Harish Jonnalagadda, Senior Editor

Windows Central Review (A8/A7): ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

"The speed of this mini PC is boosted by one of the fastest SSDs in this price bracket. The CPU and GPU flex their power, offering decent multimedia editing alongside solid performance for standard office use. The main reservation is the slightly peculiar colour profile." ~ Alastair Jennings, Writer at TechRadar

TechRadar Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The A5 is a well-made, designed and considered NUC design that delivers most of the features customers need and want." ~ Mark Pickavance, writer at TechRadar

TechRadar Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Great mini PC! Super fast with multiple tabs and dual 4K monitors, incredibly compact, and comes with a clean Windows install with no bloatware. Setup was easy, performance is smooth, and it runs quietly. Highly recommend!"

Best Buy Customer Review - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The Geekom A9 Max is, by all accounts, a premium mini PC. With top-tier hardware inside, be it for regular work or more intensive scenarios such as AI and gaming, it just eats it up. Toss in expandable RAM and storage, and I'm left asking why we would even bother with a full-size desktop anymore." ~ Richard Devine, Managing Editor
