I've found the mini PC deal to beat all deals in the Amazon Spring Sale. Right now, the Geekom A8 Max is now £578 (was £679) at Amazon.

This Windows 11 Pro mini PC performed exceptionally well during our testing, tackling everything from office tasks to content creation - and shining especially bright when we began using the AI tools in Adobe's suite of creative apps.

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.
