I had a spare mouse, keyboard and a monitor that was not getting used so I decided to get an inexpensive desktop to put them to use with. I looked a bunch of possibilities. Although I didn't start out looking for a mini computer the (2024) A5 caught my eye, sale price was less than my budget, the specs are fine for my purposes (Radeon
Vega 8 gpu was the kicker), plenty of ports, windows 11 pro, upgradable, 3-year warranty. I was a bit concerned when I looked at the purchase order online and it didn't have a tracking number but that was unfounded as it arrived the day after I ordered it. Its tiny, heavy, rose gold color
is quite pleasant, every port is clearly and completely labeled and well described in the documentation. I was impressed while unboxing it. Geekom
claims a commitment to quality, so far it looks that way, time will tell. I figure that heat is the biggest enemy of this little box, so I have a small desk fan blowing air over the top of it. I'll comment down the line on how its holding up.

The Geekom A5 is a beautiful and functional mini PC with an abundance of I/O ports, WIFI and Bluetooth, sound and even an SD card reader. Performance is fast and the price was well placed. It also has an internal SATA port. I installed the old Windows 10 SSD drive from the computer I was migrating from to the SATA connector in the A5 and, after finishing the Windows 11 update process, began transferring data files to the PCIe SSD the A5 comes with. That lasted about 15 minutes before the SATA function stopped working and "Drive D" disappeared. I had planned to leave the old (SATA) drive in the PC as reserve storage after the files were transferred to the new drive. I removed the SATA SSD from the A5 box, thinking that maybe the drive had failed. It was fine and I finished the file transfer using a USB-3 connection and SATA-to-USB interface cable. The A5 comes with a "three-year" warranty, so I assumed Geekom would replace the defective box. Geekom did respond to my queries, though not with positive results. They indicated that the warranty must be filled by BestBuy since I bought it from the BestBuy site. BestBuy says the warranty should be honored by Geekom. That makes sense, since the device was mailed directly from Geekom. Geekom said I needed to contact the "bestbuy geekom official store," whatever that is. BestBuy has a generous return policy, but then I would be back where I began, needing to find a new PC and lose all the work already completed in transitioning to a new PC. My ideal solution would be a replacement for the defective A5 while retaining the internal PCIe SDD that has been configured for our use. Since only the SATA connection has failed, it is less hassle to just live with it and hope the rest of the A5 is more durable. If the warranty was not such a hassle, I would easily give the Geekom A5 five stars.

Really impressed with this Geekom A5 Mini PC! The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U runs fast and smooth — perfect for everyday tasks, streaming, and even light editing. The 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD make everything load quickly, and Windows 11 Pro being pre-installed is super convenient.
I also love the compact size. It hardly takes up any space on my desk, but still performs like a full desktop. The Rose Gold color is gorgeous and adds a stylish touch — definitely more unique than the usual black or gray mini PCs.
Setup was quick, it runs quietly, and it stays cool even after long use. Great value for the performance and perfect for home, office, or small workstations!
