The Geekom A6 Mini-PC: Compact, Powerful, and Versatile
The Geekom A6 is a mini-PC powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, delivering high performance in a compact design. It features a Radeon 680M graphics card and utilizes dual-channel DDR5 RAM. While the system supports up to 64 GB of RAM, the standard configuration comes with 32 GB. Storage is provided by a 1 TB SSD, which can be upgraded to 2 TB if needed. The A6 also includes modern connectivity options such as Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6E. It comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro but also supports Linux for users who prefer alternative operating systems. With dimensions of just 112.4mm x 112.4mm x 37mm, the Geekom A6 is compact enough to fit seamlessly on any desk.
Included Accessories and Initial Setup
The mini-PC comes with a VESA adapter, allowing it to be mounted on the back of a monitor for a clean, space-saving setup. An HDMI cable is also included in the package. Upon first boot, the system sets up Windows 11 Pro, a process that can take up to 30 minutes due to updates being downloaded and installed.
The operating system is installed on a Kingston OM8PGP4102N-A0 SSD, offering read speeds of 4065.03 MB/s and write speeds of 3205.25 MB/s. Benchmark tests, such as the 3D Storage Benchmark, rated the SSD’s performance at 1,907 points, slightly below the average score of 2,225.
Performance and Benchmarks
The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, with a clock speed of up to 4.7 GHz, features 8 cores, 16 threads, and 16 MB of L3 cache. Benchmark results include a score of 6,069 in the PCMark Extended test, which improved to 6,452 points after further testing. In graphics-focused benchmarks, the A6 performed well, scoring 374 points in the Speedway Benchmark and achieving a "Good" rating of 2,327 points in the Steel Nomad Light test, despite an average frame rate of 17.24 FPS.
In everyday tasks, the A6 delivers smooth performance. Applications load quickly, document editing is seamless, and video streaming runs without issues. The system also handles light gaming well, with titles like The Sims 4 running smoothly. Cooling is managed by Geekom’s IceBlast system, ensuring stable performance under load.
However, the mini-PC struggles with virtual reality applications, scoring 2,971 points in the VR benchmark, which is insufficient for most VR headsets. While some VR devices may attempt to compensate, the A6’s performance is generally inadequate for an optimal VR experience.
Ports and Connectivity
The front panel of the A6 includes two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a headphone jack, and a conveniently placed power button. The device also features an SD card slot, which is particularly useful for photographers.
On the rear, the mini-PC offers two HDMI ports and two USB-C ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort support, enabling up to four monitors to be connected simultaneously, including support for 8K resolution. Additionally, the rear panel houses an Ethernet port and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. The device is powered via the rear connector.
Expandability and Shipping
If the standard 1 TB SSD is insufficient, users can upgrade to any compatible M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD. Geekom ships the A6 from its EU warehouse, ensuring quick delivery within 1–2 business days.
Conclusion
The Geekom A6 mini-PC combines impressive hardware with a compact form factor, making it a great choice for office work, home entertainment, and light gaming. While it may not meet the demands of VR enthusiasts, it excels in everyday performance and multitasking, offering excellent value for users seeking a versatile and space-saving computing solution.
