MINI PC | £699 from Geekom www.snipca.com/57700
The Geekom A7 Max is pitched as a mini PC powerhouse that packs serious performance inside a very compact unit. With its eight-core Ryzen 9 processor it has the specs to live up to that billing, but it’s not quite the tiny titan that it could have been.
There’s nothing much wrong with the design or build quality, which are both exceptionally good. The largely metal construction feels premium, and you get a fantastic selection of ports (all pictured below), with dual 2.5Gbps Ethernet, dual USB-C ports and dual HDMI 2.0 ports. You can drive up to four monitors if you want to, while the USB-C 4.0 ports will support external SSDs with up to 4,000MB/s transfer speeds.
