Geekom A8 Mini PC Is Now at Its Lowest Price, Thanks to a Gizmodo Exclusive Code for Christmas

For years PC users not wanting to devote precious desk room to a large tower have opted for laptops for space economy. Recently the mini PC has become a thing, but most of them are either long on price (we’re looking at you, Mac Studio) or short on performance. Geekom, however, has mastered the art of making remarkably small PCs that deliver huge performance without breaking your budget.

The Geekom A8 is literally pocket-sized: 4.4 x 4.4 x 1.34 inches, and a hair under a pound in weight. Yet it punches way, way above its weight class in every PC category you need high marks in — speed, memory, processing power, connectivity, and most importantly, price. And that price gets even smaller when you use our exclusive GIZMODOA8R7 code at checkout to drop the already modest price by another 18%. This exclusive deal is good from Dec. 9 thru Dec. 20, plenty of time to give the Geekom A8 as a great holiday present or to get one for yourself.

All the Perks, None of the Bulk

The Geekom A8 is smaller than the Mac Mini, yet finds a way to one more port than the Mac — a grand total of nine. There are so many useful ports in the Geekom A8: one USB 4.0 Type-C, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, one USB 2.0, two HDMI 2.0b, and a 3.5mm audio jack. If you had cords or thumb drives connected to all of the ports, the cords would amount to far more space than the tiny Geekom A8.

With elite-level Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 built in, you won’t find your tiny Geekom A8 lags when it comes to Internet surfing or digital file transfers. And you’ll be able to transfer a lot of files, because the Geekom A8 has a generous 1TB of storage.

All of that connectivity isn’t worth much without a seriously robust processor driving the process, and the Geekom A8 is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7, with a 16MB cache, 8 cores 16 threads, and top speeds that really cook — up to 5.1 GHz. And while many mini PCs run into heat issues because their small construction does not allow for adequate cooling hardware, the A8 is armed with Geekom’s new, revolutionary IceBlast 1.5 cooling technology, which fits a powerful CPU fan, large heat sink and dual heat pipes into the A8’s small shell.

Work and Play

You could easily say that mini PCs are toy-sized — any computer that fits in your pocket is going to initially give off the vibe that it’s more of a plaything than a serious productivity or gaming machine. And, truth be told, many mini PCs are toy-like in their performance. Amusing to look at and a fun conversation piece, but nothing you’d ever want to really get anything done with.

The Geekom A8 is no toy, although it does deliver a great gaming experience. The AMD Radeon 780M graphics card can hit speeds of up to 2800MHz, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, the gold standard of modern gaming with its hardware ray tracing and variable-rate shading.

Gaming on a little PC doesn’t mean gaming on a little monitor with the Geekom A8, which supports up to 4 monitors (1 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, 1 USB-C 4.0, and 2 HDMI 2.0 ports) and up to 8K on either of the USB-C ports. That quad-screen power can be just as easily used for massive productivity and multitasking, or for putting the Wi-Fi 6E to good use with a streaming session of your favorite shows and movies.

All the peripherals you need to turn the Geekom A8 into a powerhouse work station are easy to connect, either via the fast Bluetooth 5.2 connection for a wireless printer, mouse, and keyboard, or via the USB 4.0 port which can execute data transfers to and from a portable SSD at up to 40 Gbps.

There’s always going to be room for the wee yet mighty Geekom A8 mini PC on your desk or even in your pocket, and it also takes up precious little space in your budget. When you use our exclusive GIZMODOA8R7 code at checkout, the price tag gets skinnier by 18 percent if you act by Dec. 20. Discover why Geekom’s mini PCs are taking the market by storm and get the amazing power and connectivity of the A8 mini PC into your home for high-quality work and play.
