- Geekom A5 Pro swaps Ryzen 7 for Ryzen 5, losing some performance
- The mini PC supports up to 64 GB of RAM in two slots
- Storage options include M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots
Geekom has quietly updated its line of low-cost mini PCs with the new A5 Pro, making modest hardware changes while maintaining a compact and versatile design.
The Geekom A5 Pro replaces the Ryzen 7 5800H in the original A5 with the newer Ryzen 5 7530U.
Although it uses a newer processor, benchmarks show a 15-20% performance drop compared to the older Ryzen 7 5800H model.
Memory and storage capacity remain flexible
The Geekom A5 Pro comes standard with 16GB of RAM, up from 32GB in its predecessor, but it still supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory across two SO-DIMM slots.
Storage options include M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots, allowing up to 3TB of total storage.
The mini PC offers a full range of connectivity options suitable for casual users and compact workstations.
These include a 2.5G Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a DC power input, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports.
Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth provide wireless connectivity, making it suitable for mobile workstations and general mini PC use without additional adapters.
Geekom has retained the compact form factor of the A5 series, allowing the A5 Pro to fit comfortably in limited office spaces or portable setups.
Although the processor change reduces raw performance, the mini PC still handles multitasking, document editing, media playback, and light applications efficiently.
Users can expand the memory and storage to adapt the A5 Pro to heavier workloads, although it won’t compete with high-end mobile workstations or full-size workstations.
On Geekom’s official website, the Ryzen 5 7530U variant with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD costs $519, but the company has reduced the price to $469.
Geekom also offers a limited time promo code, GKXMASC5which further reduces the price by 5%, bringing it down to $446. It should have expired by now, but at the time of writing it is still online.
Geekom continues to sell the older Ryzen 5 7430U variant in other regions, including Europe and North America, for around $376.
