Summary and conclusion
I think a look at our list of the best once again shows emphatically how much power these small systems now have. And thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7940HS installed, the Geekom A7 is at the top at the time of publication, sometimes by a considerable margin:
Battle of the dwarfs: Mini-PC benchmark comparison and overview of all models tested so far
However, there was one anomaly during the tests: for some reason, MSAA could not be activated in CSGO. This option was simply missing in the graphics settings. Various solutions could not help, so I finally had to resort to forced MSAA via the driver. I couldn’t find out whether the game or the driver for the Radeon 780M graphics was to blame here. But it’s probably not the system ‘s fault.
I like the look very much, and I can also only praise the workmanship. The A7 is probably one of the highest quality mini PCs I have tested to date. Will this also be reflected in the price? Unfortunately, yes..

On the manufacturer’s own website, the variant with R7-7840HS, 32GB DDR5 and 1TB SSD is offered for 749 euros, if you want the R9-7940HS tested here with 32GB DDR5 and 2TB SSD, the price is already 899 euros. For this disproportionately high surcharge, you only buy 200Mhz more base clock and 100Mhz more boost for the processor. So if anything, the “smaller” variant is more interesting. As usual, a certain surcharge is due in the mini PC niche, often due to comparatively low sales figures. Notebooks from well-known manufacturers with a 7840HS are already available for around 900 euros. Although they do not boast such a high number of fast connection options, they can be used without any additional accessories. If you are explicitly looking for the most powerful mini PC currently available, you will find it here.
Update:
With the code “IGA20” there is a 20 Euro discount at the manufacturer, at Amazon and the code “igorslabA7” 5% discount. This is a referral link, but I do not accept any commissions offered by the manufacturer. Neither I nor IgorsLab earn any money from the use of the voucher code provided.
The test sample was provided by Geekom without obligation. There was and is no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish.
