Why is Geekom A8 worth buying?
We named the Geekom A8 the runner-up of our favorite mini PCs of 2025, for good reason.
It's an extremely powerful mini PC that can more than handle heavy-duty workflow tasks like typing documents, native light gaming, and creative activities like photo/video editing.
This is primarily due to its AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, Radeon 780M GPU, and 32GB RAM (DDR5), ensuring top-notch performance.
The Geekom A8 also includes other notable features like a 1TB SSD for storing files (which can be easily replaced with larger ones), multiple USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI 2.0 ports, and a wide range of internet connectivity options like 2.5Gbps Ethernet, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6E.
So, if you've been looking for a high-quality mini PC that can clear up digital paperwork in a flash and play games while you're on break, all without taking up desktop space, then the Geekom A8 is for you.
The Geekom A8 is currently on an early Black Friday sale for $549.00 on Amazon for a limited time. However, this discount is locked behind an Amazon Prime Membership, so you will need to sign up first in order to access it.
If you don't fancy signing up for Amazon Prime Membership, there's a slightly more expensive yet just as enticing discount for the Geekom A8 at Best Buy for $599.00 that's open for the general public to use.
