[@GEEKOMPC]

Thank you for reviewing our product. Your feedback on GEEKOM products is highly valuable to us!😉

[@JashuaAlfaro]

I first watched your videos in 2013, glad the algorithm brought me back to you.

[@Stuntman707]

I’ve been eyeing up these mini PCs. Amazing specs and price for its size.

[@michaelrogers7800]

Yep keep reviewing these mini pc's.

[@jimmysgameclips]

I am impressed! These tiny computers have gotten to a very good place for what they are. I love it

[@user-it2us7ip8u]

Great video! You should do a comparison video between the Geekom A7 and the MINISFORUM Venus UM790 Pro - AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS.... Would be even better if you can add the BeeLink GTR7 Pro to the comparison as well.

[@JiaChengWu]

I like the mac mini inspired minimalist aesthetics. BTW cool lego sets from the 90s I think

[@wardhale]

indeed! I like the older sets because they came up with their own ideas instead of just partnering with Star Wars, harry potter, etc.

[@juliancasa9602]

These mini PC vendors are out of control.

[@Pitraptor]

Not out of control enough.

[@orlandostevenson7214]

Thank you for your review! 100% the ports should all be on the back :)

[@Decadent36]

I've never seen one of your videos before but you have a new sub! I like your mellow delivery and sense of humor. Also, that is a rather impressive mini PC as you said and makes me excited for what is in store for future iterations.

[@jonwoodworker]

I'm by no means a computer snob. I just got this unit set up a few days ago and shocked at how well it works. Wi-Fi 6E is excellent.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

These make for VERY good software development machines. Absolute monster machine for office use.

[@jeh5c]

My eyes did not fool me you opened the packaging with a banana lol

[@teksyndicate]

Doesn't everyone?

[@Urosaurus]

Thanks, is this an all metal case?

[@rharvier]

Shout out for that Shadowrun art!

[@wardhale]

Hell yes! Larry Elmore is epic.

[@unitybeing777]

Mini pcs are getting really powerful.

[@erikkarsies4851]

And pricey because of all the money spent on marketing BS

[@haruyanto8085]

​@@erikkarsies4851You can't get a 32gb ram, 1tb SSD laptop with an R9 series for $600-700...

[@DarkWorldQ8]

Most people prefer to have the audio jack in front of the mini pc to plug and unplug their headphones/microphones, especially at work. I haven't tried it, but I believe that there are HDMI to HDMI and AUX adapters.

[@shawnwade302]

I like the majority of my ports on the back but I would like to be able to plug a headset in on the front.

[@diel7310]

would like to see a video of that usb audio card

[@Zgred2]

Buying a USB audio card was mentioned, any chance for a recommendation? I have Soundblaster PLAY! gen 2 and gen 3 on my 2 PC's but I feel it's time for an upgrade for my headphones.

[@MindstabThrull]

Depending on what it's for, I prefer front ports. This feels like what I might use for a living room PC (never really been a console gamer - no, this isn't a PC vs consoles thing, this is a "lack of exposure" thing), so front ports would be better for keyboard and mouse or some kind of controller and a headset.

[@ThePokeMartian]

You should do a yuzu emulator settings guide alot of people have no clue what alot of the settings do

[@iamionscat9035]

You did a very good video on how to use a key to activate windows (upgrade from home version to pro). Could you please do the same for office. I would like to see a video on how to download office from Microsoft and activate it with an OEM key. Could you please make this video. Please.

[@tonyhutz]

In your Cyberpunk benchmark, you were in windowed mode. Wouldn't you have gotten better performance if it was set to fullscreen?

[@AlaskaHandyman1973]

Headphone jack on the front doesn't bother me too much, I tend to use wireless headphones anyway and USB dongles seem to be standard for low latentcy audio. Also I haven't owned an HDMI capable monitor in many years that didn't have a headphone or speaker jack built in

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Finally mini PCs started coming with SD card slot. Bad: they do not sell barebone and without OS. Otherwise it's a pretty decent machine.

[@akin242002]

Combined with the CPU & iGPU, this mini-PC could be used for light professional photo editing.

[@yorkshireplumbing]

Is it viable as a battery powered laptop alternative with a portable monitor, or they suck too much juice?

[@maxrobe]

For a comparison my 13 year old 8120 bulldozer 32gb box with it's current 970 gpu in it, clocks in at 2704 on the Valley benchmark. That;s OK for my needs work wise but a bit better box I could put in my pocket and draws a fraction of the power does seem tempting. Whats the longevity of these things if on 24/7?

[@POGRetroModernGaming]

Mini PCs are the future❤ APU+AI = powerull gaming miniPC at low cost and space + save energy 😊

[@DirkKuepper]

Sorry it is the past. Apple Inc. did this a long time ago with Macmini.

[@gholg8074]

Can you remove the cover, connect an external water cooler, tweek bios and run at full speed?

[@UncleSpellbinder]

Can you boot into bios on this?

[@nadtz]

Gonna be akshually guy for a second and point out that AMD does have their C cores which aren't really efficiency cores but that's the best comparison right now between AMD and intel. They are also supposed to be dropping 'hybrid' cpu's soon and if they keep up with what their Siena CPU's are laying down call me interested. Great review as always and I agree it's not long before 'low end' gaming doesn't need more than a decent to good mini PC and integrated graphics, hopefully that will be a good thing.

[@wardhale]

I'll look into that to see how different they are from those efficiency cores. Cheers!

[@the_skotts1110]

Please build a tower of all your mini PCs.

[@jadhal6649]

It has NPU ?

[@AdjointGaming]

Hello ! I c many mini pcs with the same hardware. My problem is , which companies are good and produce quality products ? miniform, geek, gmt , other one ?

[@alangrand3061]

Steer clear of Geekom they have absolutely no customer support.

[@EliteC64]

@ 3:37 definitely, if I get this I'd need to hide them with silver dust caps or something.

[@erikkarsies4851]

A ZX81 was also a mini PC!

[@TrusteftTech]

Compared to my GTX 860M laptop, this iGPU is 3 times as powerful, at least in Geekbench 8 openCL score. The CPU is even faster than that compared to my i7-4710HQ.

[@praetorxyn]

I've been on an anime buying binge as of late. Trying to acquire legit copies of all the stuff I've "acquired" over the years lol. Really starting to build up that Jellyfin / Emby / Plex catalog.

[@Toiarc]

Is the integrated GPU running with DX11? Cyberpunk looks weird like every surface would be missing extra shiny detail from surface.

[@teksyndicate]

well, there's no RTX going on there. I actually played it on my 3080 ti without RTX because I wanted higher FPS... but the RTX is shiny. Could also be something with shadows.

[@BeBoe69]

How is this one compared to the Minisforum EM 780?

[@wardhale]

Just tested that one last night. This one is slightly faster, slightly quieter, has more ports, and is slightly larger... and sleeker, if that matters...

[@thelastdruidofscotland]

a 40 CU design is coming, and will offer 2k AAA gaming.

[@635574]

Do is this hardware is compact like a steam deck but without the controller parts and screen its even smaller?

[@williamserna8398]

What?

[@TrusteftTech]

I think it's faster than a Steam Deck.

[@elgrego]

EU Amazon code?

[@CYBERJAM01-_-]

GEEKOM launched the A7 mini-PC, the most impressive mini-PC available... without warranty support. Oh, it's mentioned on their web pages but it isn't real. At least not in Australia or via the US or China. Warranty = Fail. With a new market segment in mini-PCs & the gaming market open to a new hardware segment, AMD & Intel are hedging more than a bit on all this to jump start their cloud gaming future and expand their chip presence in the IoT. I wonder if AMD & Intel know what GEEKOM are doing to their brands. Maybe our KZbin reviewers should include warranty when reviewing "exciting" new hardware?

[@rolfathan]

Where to buy banananaknife?

[@spacechimp5141]

the problem with mini pcs they are loud like a crazy Chihuahua because it overheats. if it was bigger 8 by 8 and they placed a bigger fan they would be better. I got a GMKtec and is louder than my 6-year-old HP slim desktop. Also seems some, not all, come with Spyware and clone windows os.

[@alangrand3061]

The trouble with Geekom is they do not respond to emails, so if you have any problems you have no support. They just do not care about customer support.

[@paulm5935]

Why did I have to leave this page to find out the price? Can U please, always, make that one of the first features you mention in any review? Paul M. Atlanta, GA

[@ellisgarvin]

Prices change from month to month, and from location to location. If he named a price it would be incorrect for a majority of viewers.

[@grumhagen8385]

Is it faster than the ( Will I Replace My Desktop With This? Minisforum HX100G Mini PC | Ryzen 7840HS & 6650M GPU ) ?

[@teksyndicate]

No. It's way smaller (like pocket size vs backpack size) and doesn't have a dedicated GPU.

[@graemewhite3447]

$1500 in Australia

[@PissbucketRoyale]

Yo Logan! I wanna roll up on a scooter to a outlet in a dark alley or 3rd shift lunch break and have a small reasonable priced projector and a mini tiny pc in a small bag. Have a fighting game breakout bag to get casual fighting games back on scene. Has to be cheap and run old fighter and tekken 8 with scaling of course.

@@teksyndicate Cool thanks

[@jrspringston]

... Did you open that with a banana? 🤣

[@trellegion1997]

Great video but that little PC isn’t for me 😂

[@Pillokun]

Sorry but that gpu is not really matching an 1650, ie slower than a gtx 970. Only thing that is faster might be the gpu so if u play at 720p low or in some games 1080p low then it might be faster than say an gtx 970/rx 470/480 with an quad core i7. :P I wish amd just did try to give us more than 12cu on an apu, 24cu would have been great, and do we really need 8c? if we are restricted to an igpu, I mean gaming wise 6c with 24cu would have been perfect. But yeah doubt amd wants to cannibalise their entry level discrete gpus with an apu.

[@teksyndicate]

I don't have a 1650 to test, but when I did, I remember it barely played cyberpunk. So I'd have to test again to agree or not

[@terrylyn]

Faster than my 7950x? I will unsubscribe if a clickbait x)

[@teksyndicate]

I forget how fancy we all are.

[@portman8909]

Nah it's not faster than my pc. But that's only because I recently built a new zen 4 system :)

[@MagnaRads]

If it cost more than a new console but plays games worse i connot recommend

[@portman8909]

The problem is consoles are limited to console tasks.

[@teksyndicate]

But you can't do your taxes on a ps5

[@MagnaRads]

@@teksyndicate consoles can get to turbo tax using a browser 😉

[@mbsfaridi]

Sure for modern games but it’s great for older games that were actually good.

[@haruyanto8085]

It can play most games at 1080p 60fps, and much smaller

[@torguy5763]

I don't understand how people like mechanical keyboards, it's so dumb, it actuates too easily so you're always accidentally pressing keys you don't want during gaming, membrane is much better imo.

[@chomskyan4life]

Far Cry's benchmarks are not very reliable at all. They will give you an average FPS, but when you actually play the game you will well below that more often than not.
