Unmissable mini PC deal: The Geekom A8 Max is the ultimate creator and office powerhouse in Amazon's Spring sale

The Geekom A8 Max is a seriously impressive mini PC that blitzed through our benchmark tests when we took it out for a spin. Easily one of the best Windows 11 mini computers we've reviewed, the Geekom A8 Max is now £578 (was £679) at Amazon.

For me, this is the mini PC deal to beat in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale, rocking an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS CPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD. Alongside the high-performance processor and USB 4.0 port for connecting an external GPU, it also supports dual 4K monitors at 120Hz.

When we reviewed the A8 Max, it breezed through productivity tasks - but really showed what it was capable of when we began running AI tasks in Adobe's creative software. I don't think you can go wrong at this price, whether you need a mini PC for office work or content creation.

The A8 Max is one of those mini PCs that impressed us pretty much from start to finish. Yes, it's a good-looking mini computer, with more than a hint of the Mac mini about it.

But it's also extremely powerful. Thanks to the high-performance Ryzen 7 8745HS chip, it absolutely motored through heavier and more graphically intensive workloads like video editing. It also capably tackled AI tasks thanks to the dedicated NPU, giving it a significant performance boost.

In our review, our tester Alastair said: "Overall, when it came to the processing power of the A8 Max, I have to say that I was impressed all around with its performance—especially the way that the AMD AI-enhanced CPU was able to handle many of the AI tasks that are accessible through the Adobe Creative Suite. Again, here we see the machine handle those tasks with relative ease."

This mini desktop computer did struggle during gaming sessions when we tried AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077. But it has the added bonus of including a USB 4.0 port for connecting an eGPU, so there's potential here to turn it into a truly compact gaming and content creation rig.

Until the A9 Max came along, it was my number one Windows 11 mini PC in my best mini PC guide (for what it's worth, the cheapest I've seen the A9 Max is £1098 in Geekom's Spring Sale).

So, at this price, the Geekom A8 Max is an easy one to recommend for Amazon's Spring Deal Days.
