Geekom A8 Mini PC Review: A Ryzen 9 8945HS in a TINY Shell!

Though she be but little, she is FIERCE!

Geekom updated their newest mini PC frame with an AMD 8945HS! This thing is a BEAST. CPU and GPU performance are very similar to the last gen 7940HS laptop chip, but now with a bit more NPU “AI” performance.

Who knows, maybe you don’t want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway? Continue reading “Geekom A8 Mini PC Review: A Ryzen 9 8945HS in a TINY Shell!”
