About this item
- [Powerful AMD Mini Desktop PC] Geekom A5 mini pc is powered by AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 16MB Cache, 3.2GHz~4.4GHz). With pre-installed Windows 11 Pro, you can easily use the mini PC for tasks such as browsing the Internet, reading email, editing docs, home office, and even photo editing with a user experience that is close to that of a desktop computer.
- [32GB RAM 512GB SSD UP TO 2TB] The GEEKOM mini computer comes with high-speed 32GB DDR4, Built-in 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe 3x4 SSD.(M.2 is much better than mSATA/HDD in terms of both smaller size and higher transfer performance), and supports an additional 2.5” 7mm SATA HDD of up to 2TB, allowing you to accommodate system files and massive games.
- [4-Screens Display/8K Output] AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics provides powerful graphics processing. 2*HDMI, and 2*USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support up to 4x 4K displays. USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface delivers stunning 8K vision. This mini desktop computer makes it easy to multitask, fully capable of using Microsoft Office, Adobe applications, watching 4K video, and playing games at the same time.
- [WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2] The WiFi 6 is three times faster than WiFi5 , so you don't have to worry about being disconnected at work. Furthermore, the mini computer has an integrated Bluetooth 5.2 system that offers high-speed wireless connection technology, providing a faster internet experience for browsing and streaming.
- [Technical Support] GEEKOM specializes in Mini PCs. The product size is only 4.6 x 4.4 x 1.9 inches, which is smaller than a standard keyboard.

The IT8 delivers pretty decent overall CPU performance. I tested it against a Dell XPS 13 featuring a Core i7-10710U (a 6-core, 12-thread 10th-gen Intel chip), and the IT8 is, surprisingly, actually faster in sustained multithreaded CPU workloads (Cinebench R23 ST/MT was 945/4010 vs. 1014/3333 for the Dell). The Geekom also beat the Dell by 20-30% in web browsing performance tests, which is quite respectable.
On the graphics side, keep in mind this is still an Intel integrated GPU, so it will not match a discrete AMD/Nvidia graphics card, but the Iris Plus 655 is a big step up from Intel's normal 14nm iGPUs - often delivering 1.5-2x the graphics performance of the Intel UHD 620 in the XPS 13's Core i7-10710U chip. It is still a bit behind the highest-spec Radeon Vega iGPUs in competing quad-core AMD APUs, but it's in the same ballpark, and you get slightly better CPU performance on this. Also, the IT8 has the advantage of Intel QuickSync, which certain applications (like Blue Iris for home security cameras) greatly benefit from. Media playback at up to 4K 60 Hz is smooth.
Idle power draw is just 9W, which is not bad, and under light web browsing, hits around 15W on average. Noise levels are also decently managed, though the PC is definitely not silent. The fan is always on; under light loads, it's noticeable only if located next to you in a quiet room. At full load, it's definitely quite audible (as with all actively cooled mini PCs), but not annoyingly so.
The port selection is fine - on the rear, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) A ports, one USB-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 data and DP video support, an HDMI, MiniDisplayPort, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port (driven by an Intel i219-V chip, which works great), and the 19V DC barrel jack power input. On the front, there's a USB-A and USB-C port (both 3.2 Gen 2, and the C port supports video), a 3.5 mm headphone/mic jack, and the power button. There's also an infrared receiver, which could be neat for HTPCs in particular, and a full-sized SD card reader. A couple of additional USB 2.0 ports might've been nice for keyboard/mouse purposes.
There's no Thunderbolt support, but with the HDMI, Mini DP, and two USB-C ports, this thing has four display outputs, all capable of 4K @ 60 Hz, which is pretty impressive.
Inside, the Wifi chip is the Intel AC 7265, which works reliably and offers 2x2 Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 but is, unfortunately, soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded (e.g., to Wifi 6 or 6E). The NVMe SSD is fast enough for most use cases, and there's an available 2.5" bay inside the case if you want to add a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD for additional storage. One puzzling thing is that the 16 GB of RAM came as one 16 GB stick in single-channel, which reduces RAM bandwidth vs. having two 8 GB sticks in dual channel. On the plus side, Geekom includes a VESA mount, so you can easily mount the PC behind your monitor (or your wall or elsewhere).
On the software side, the Geekom came with a clean installation (no bloatware- hurrah!) of Windows 11, and specifically Windows 11 Professional, which is great - many PC makers ship the Windows Home OS instead of Pro, then you need to spend up to $100 extra if you want features like Windows Sandbox, inbound Remote Desktop, etc.
Overall, the IT8 has worked well for most use cases. If you need more CPU or GPU performance in a mini PC, your best bet would be something with the latest 8-core AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs, but those tend to be much more expensive (and usually larger too). This offers a nice middle ground option at a relatively affordable price.

This offers a nice middle ground option at a relatively affordable price.
Next, I connected both my Epson eco tank printer and scansnap scanner both via wifi, fast and without issue. I then downloaded Libre Office 7.5 again, without issue and put it through paces. Lastly, I installed my programs, data, pictures and videos.
This is the fastest computer I have owned and the quietest computer I have owned. Needless to say, the tiny box is a welcome change to the desktop "box" that it replaced. I use a high capacity SD card which I simply leave in the port to handle several sessions (rotation) of back-up.
Having kids in their fifties and adult grand kids, I realize there are much more powerful gaming options, they are simply not my thing. Having said that, this is far more computer than most people will need and appears to be constructed very well.
I will say, that the one omission in packaging was the absence of the advertised storage bag. I mention it simply because it happened. If I wanted to store, or move the nit, I would use the well cushioned box that it comes in.
In closing, I highly recommend this product!
There is HDMI, mini display port, and USB C that supports display - so you can hook up multiple monitors if you want. The mini PC has both WIFI and 1 Gbe ethernet. I tested speed with both WIFI and ethernet. In my home network setup, I could hardly see much practical difference between them, getting max speed for both. I also tested the transfer speed to my Synology NAS and I got maximum speed on both download and upload. SSD transfer speed was also as fast as expected for my 1 TB Sandisk SSD. You can easily play YouTube 4K video on this PC. The mini PC is dead quiet most of the time. Sometimes when doing some CPU intensive tasks the fan kicks in, but you have to be super close to hear it.
Entire startup took a few minutes and Windows update and Microsoft Office were quick. I also added 1 TB SSD for extra storage, which took me literally a few mins just to open the back screws, which are permanently anchored to the plate so that you won’t lose them - I wish most vendors did that. 2.5 HDD nicely slides into the slot and gets seated without need - similar to hot swappable drives - simple and elegant solution.
I have at least half a dozen mini PCs in my house for various uses, such as one just used for video conferencing (Zoom) on TV, for 3D print station, Raspberry pi for mini NAS etc. The PC has decent performance with its i5 processor and 16 GB RAM (1 stick that can be expandable to 32 GB). I plan on using this as one of my main home PCs for family tasks. Recommended!

I tested speed with both WIFI and ethernet. In my home network setup, I could hardly see much practical difference between them, getting max speed for both. I also tested the transfer speed to my Synology NAS and I got maximum speed on both download and upload. SSD transfer speed was also as fast as expected for my 1 TB Sandisk SSD. You can easily play YouTube 4K video on this PC. The mini PC is dead quiet most of the time. Sometimes when doing some CPU intensive tasks the fan kicks in, but you have to be super close to hear it.
Entire startup took a few minutes and Windows update and Microsoft Office were quick. I also added 1 TB SSD for extra storage, which took me literally a few mins just to open the back screws, which are permanently anchored to the plate so that you won’t lose them - I wish most vendors did that. 2.5 HDD nicely slides into the slot and gets seated without need - similar to hot swappable drives - simple and elegant solution.
I have at least half a dozen mini PCs in my house for various uses, such as one just used for video conferencing (Zoom) on TV, for 3D print station, Raspberry pi for mini NAS etc. The PC has decent performance with its i5 processor and 16 GB RAM (1 stick that can be expandable to 32 GB). I plan on using this as one of my main home PCs for family tasks. Recommended!

La cosa mi piace di più è che posso collegarlo alla TV ed eseguire il controllarla a distanza. È perfetto per guardare film o giocare…
Funziona fluidamente, finora nessun problema.
ps: Quando lo usavo per la prima volta, ho trovato che la ventola era un po' rumorosa. Ho chiesto al servizio clienti. Mi ha detto che la velocità della ventola è stata elevata per massimizzare le prestazioni del mini pc. Alla fine, mi ha dato un plug-in per ridurre la velocità della ventola. Slienzioso e non si sente molta differenza nelle prestazioni.

Choosing a new computer and making sure you get the right one is a big deal - so I did quite a lot of research into processors, RAM, speeds, etc. to make sure I'd get a unit more powerful than my old one but still just as versatile without having to spend a fortune on it.
I do most of my work in web design and photo editing so I need a machine that can perform in this area quickly and efficiently. This one absolutely does the job. It's remarkable for its tiny size. Although it's "only" an I5-8259U processor it's still somewhat more powerful than my old I7-3820, and thanks to bus speeds, RAM, etc. generally having improved quite a bit over time, this machine is much faster overall.
I looked at quite a few of the models currently available and was initially considering some of the fanless ones but they don't seem to have the power required, at least not if you're on a budget. I eventually concluded that this one was the best one suited to my needs; it's quite powerful, very quick, very small, very quiet and it's expandable and have plenty of connectivity.
I upgraded to 32GB RAM right away as one can never have too much RAM and then chucked one of my existing SSD drives inside as well. My remaining drives are mostly for backup purposes, so I prefer using them on docking stations or via USB/SATA connectors as I don't want them plugged in all the time anyway.
The initial upgrade was very simple compared to a normal desktop; simply remove the bottom lid, place the RAM in the slot, stick the SSD under the lid and put the lid back on .. et voilá, you're good to go. And go it does. This unit literally boots (from off) to the login screen of W11 in 15 seconds - much faster than my old machine which would take about a minute to get there on W10. It loads Photoshop fully in a few seconds and starts Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and any other browser I use in about a second or two. It's a nippy little thing!
One of the most noticeable improvements so far is the much increased transfer speed between disks, thanks to USB 3. It takes virtually no time moving chunks of large photos between disks and also opening RAW files in Photoshop and Bridge happens infinitely quicker now, which is great when you do your editing "on the fly" for web design. It's very quick also when loading (and logging in and out of) various websites, the overall network connection / loading speed is great when you use browsers a lot.
Changing from one version of Windows to another is always going to take some getting used to, mostly because of changes to the general interface and things looking slightly different. Moving from W10 to W11 is not a dramatic change though and I quite like it.
I am staying away from tying the unit to Microsoft accounts and use local accounts instead. MS is keen to make you use their cloud but it's easy to set up the unit with local accounts and bypass all of that, just as it was on W10, so that's really nice and much more familiar to me to work that way. There's no bloatware on the machine either, it's a clean OS apart from the MS stuff that was also found in W10 and the majority of this is easily uninstalled or disabled if you like to optimize your Windows experience a bit. Overall setting up Windows is very easy on this unit - just do as prompted on first boot and you're literally up and running in a few minutes. You can then tailor it to your liking afterwards.
As for the loudness, you can hear the fan going as the unit boots up but it settles down again quickly and becomes almost unnoticeable, even in quiet surroundings. It does come back on again when load increases like with any desktop or laptop but it's far from intrusive and I'm very happy with that as it was one of my bugbears and why I was considering a fanless unit to begin with. My old machine had a big CPU cooler fan and it was rather loud even when idle, so this is a massive improvement in terms of noise level and it's actually a lot quieter than I even dared hope for in spite of it having a fan - and it's great to be able to have it on top of my desk rather than having the big bulky tower underneath it.
I have had this unit for 5 days now and I'm really impressed with it so far. It does everything I want it to do, quickly and without any lag and it's overall a big step up in power and general performance from my old desktop - and at the same time it consumes much less electricity. It feels very solid and sturdy and not 'plasticky' like many other small units seem to be, the metal casing definitely gives it a good quality feel and it's very well built while at the same time easy to upgrade in spite of being tiny. It's built with branded components which gives you confidence in terms of both performance and longevity.
Additionally, customer service has proven to be very good already - as I was unsure about which stick of RAM would match the one it came with I contacted GEEKOM support via email with the question on the evening of getting the machine. I had a reply the next morning and went and got one of the Kingston sticks they advised and it works as expected with no problems at all - so, with quick, efficient and hassle-free support to go along, I must say that choosing this unit has proven to be an overall very positive experience.
If you're looking to upgrade from an older computer and want performance and a small form factor without spending a fortune, this unit is probably the best within its range and I'm happy to recommend it. Very good value for money!

Der Versand ging schnell und reibungslos und er Aufbau war sehr einfach. Das Netzteil und ein HDMI Kabel zum anschließen an einen Monitor sind im Lieferumfang enthalten gewesen. Das anschließen hat nur wenige Minuten gedauert und nach eine Viertel Stunde für Windows-Updates war der Rechner auf dem neusten Stand und einsatzbereit.
Wer möchte kann dank VESA kompatibler Rückseite den Mini Pc an der Rückseite von Monitoren oder Monitorhalterungen anbringen und so einen augeräumten Arbeitsplatz ohne Kabelgewirr bekommen.
Wegen des kleinen Formfaktors ist der Pc auch einfach einzupacken und auf reisen mitzunehmen. Z.B. im Hotel einfach an einen Fernseher im Zimmer anschließen und fertig ist der Arbeitsplatz unterwegs.
Office Programme laufen alle ohne Probleme und dank der 16GB Arbeitsspeicher sind auch viele Tabs im Browser kein Problem. Ich habe bei 70+ Tabs (verteilt über 2 Chrome und eine Edge Instanz) keine Leistungsprobleme feststellen können.
Es sit wirklich unfassbar wieviel Leistung heutzutage in so einem kleinen Gerät stecken kann. Ein Benchmark in Cinebench R23 hat 3947 Punkte ergeben. Wenn man bedenkt, dass der verbaute i5 Prozessor eine 28 Watt CPU ist, ist das ein beeindruckendes Ergebnis. Wir erreichen natürlich nicht das Desktop Pc Niveau an Leistung, aber man muss bedenken, dass dieser Prozessor auch nur 28W statt 70-100W an Strom verbraucht.
Auch die Grafikeinheit, eine Intel Iris Plus 655, liefert solide Ergebnisse: Im Office Betrieb gibt es keine Probleme und ich konnte ohne weiteres 4K Videos streamen (CPU bei ca 30%, GPU bei 15-30%). Erst bei 8K Streams kam es zu Rucklern und stockendem Bildlauf da die CPU mit dem Stream überlastet wurde. Bei lokaler Wiedergabe war sogar die Wiedergabe von 8k HDR Videos problemlos möglich (CPU 12%, GPU 60-70%). Damit eignet sich dieser Mini Pc auch perfekt für eine Media Station.
Wer die Hofunng hat Videospiele Splien zu können sollte seine Erwartungen allerding etwas bremsen. Fortnite z.B. lief nur auf 1080p unter niedrigen Einstellungen verlässlich. Kleiner Titel (vorallem 2D Spiele) waren aber i.d.R. kein Problem. Es ist eben keine Gamingrechner, aber für kleines zwischendurch reicht es aus.
Ebenso dürfte es nicht verwundern, dass dieser Pc ehr weniger geeignet ist um große Videoschnitt Projekte zu stemmen. Aber auch hier kann man sagen, dass kleine Projekte durchaus realisierbar sind.
Wer die Festplatte tauschen möchte, oder den Arbeitsspeicher erweitern will, kann dies ohne weiteres tun. Man muss nur auf der Unterseite des Gerätes 4 Kreuzschlitzschrauben lösen und hat sofort Zugang zu den RAM und M.2 SSD Steckplätzen.
Die maximale RAM belegung sind 32GB (2x16GB). Für die SSD gibt es keine Beschränkung. Es werden bis zu 80mm lange Riegel unterstüstzt (das ist das gängigste M.2 SSD Format) und da für PCIe 3.0 SDDs keine Kühler nötig sind kann vermutlich jede möglich Festplatte genutzt werden.
Mein Gerät ist ausgestattet mit 16 GB als 1x8GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM und einer Kingston 512GB. Eine Erweiterung des RAM auf 32 GB ist somit ohne weiters möglich.
Die CPU (i5-8259) hat einen Basis Takt von 2,3 GHz bei 4 Kernen und 8 Threads. In der Realität taktet der Prozessor allerdings bis zu 3,59 GHz dank Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 (einzelne Kerne können sogar bis zu 3,8 GHz erreichen).
Der Lüfter im Gehäuse ist im Normalbetrieb kaum hörbar, nur unter vollast (z.B. Videospiele) kann man ihn deutlicher hören. Es bleibt dabei allerding bei einer moderaten Lautstärke (vergleichbar mit einem lauten flüstern). Wer den Pc hinter dem Monitor versteckt hat oder zumindest nicht direkt vor der Nase wir ihn kaum hören.
Aber nicht nur beim Speicher ist der Mini Pc vielseitig. Auch bei den Anschlüssen ist erstaunlich viel Vorhanden, vorallem wenn man die Größe des Gehäuses beachtet, das mit 2,75 litern extrem kompakt ist.
Auf der Vorderseite befindet sich ein USB Gen 3.2 und ein USB Typ-C Anschluss mit denen Übertragungsraten von 20Gbit/s mglich sind. Dazu gibt es noch einen 3,5 Klinke Kombo Anschluss für Kopfhörer und Mikrophon und den Knopf zu Einschalten des Pc. Zudem sind auf de Front noch 2 Mikrofone verbaut, die zwar in Ordnung sind, aber bei Vollast des Rechners (z.B. in Spielen) das Rauschen des Lüfters deutlich mit aufnehmen.
Auf der Seite befindet sich links ein SD Karten Slot und rechts ein Kensington Lock.
Auf der Rückseite ein Vielzahl an Ports: Ein Trommelstecker für die Stromversorgung, ein Mini Display Port, ein Mal Gigabit Ethernet, ein HDMI 2.0 sowie 2 USB Gen 3.2 und ein USB Typ-C Anschluss (jeweils mit 20 Gbit/s) wobei der Typ-C anschluss zusätzlich noch ein Dispaly ansteuern kann.
Somit sind insgesamt 3 Displays direkt anschließbar bei maximal 4K@60Hz.
Also für wen eignet sich dieser Mini Pc?
Nun für alle die einen günstigen, aber starken, kleinen und stromsparenden Allzweck Pc brauchen kann ich eine Empfehlung aussprechen. Wer einen NASA Rechner erwartet, wird hier enttäuscht werden.
Für den gegebene Preis ist dieser Mini Pc in meinen Augen ein gutes Angebot. Ausserdem funktioniert es Out-of-the-Box ohne das man technische Kenntnisse benötigt.
Windows 11 Professional war bei mir vorinstalliert und läuft ohne Probleme.
