Price (MSRP)

$849 (buying links below)

GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being a slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB). This knocks $150 off the price compared to the $849 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded.

As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU.

The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a Thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws.

What’s In The Box

  • 1 x A8 Mini PC
  • 1 x Power Adapter
  • 1 x HDMI Cable
  • 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws
  • 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card

Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started.

All products sold from GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

The deal is valid until July 28th.
