Geekom has announced the arrival of its newest mini PC, known as the A6. This device is designed for consumers who need a good level of power without breaking the bank.
Specifications Overview
The A6 closely resembles Geekom’s previous model, the AS6, which was launched in the middle of 2023. It features the same Ryzen 7 6800H CPU and the Radeon 680M integrated GPU found in its predecessor. The A6 comes equipped with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM (consisting of two 16 GB SODIMMs) and includes a 1 TB NVMe PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD. There’s also the option to add a 2.5-inch SATA drive for more storage space.
Port Options
In terms of connectivity, the A6 offers a solid selection of ports. The front panel includes two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports and a headset jack, while the left side has an SD card slot. The rear features a DC input, a USB4 port (40 Gbps, with DisplayPort), two HDMI 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, another USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (with DisplayPort), and a USB 2.0 port.
Accessibility and Design
As with many Geekom mini desktops, the A6 is easy to open, giving users quick access to the 2.5-inch SATA drive bay, the M.2 2280 NVMe slot, the wireless card (which is a MediaTek MT7922 supporting WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2), and the two DDR5 SODIMM slots. To reach the CPU and integrated GPU for any repasting, users will need to disassemble further.
The A6 is quite compact, with dimensions of 112.4 x 112.4 x 37 mm (4.43 x 4.43 x 1.46 in). Like other models from Geekom, it includes a VESA mount, allowing users to attach it to the rear of a compatible monitor.
Target Audience and Pricing
Geekom is positioning the A6 for budget-conscious consumers. The device is available for just below $500. Furthermore, Geekom frequently provides discount codes, giving customers a chance to save a bit more.
