One of the best Windows 11 mini PCs we've ever tested is currently on sale right now, with the Geekom A8 Max now $899 (was $1049) at Best Buy.
I can't emphasize enough how great this Geekom mini PC is. When we tested it out, it blitzed through our benchmark tests across both office productivity tasks and content creation (and it supports an eGPU via its USB 4.0 port for extra graphical prowess).
This A8 Max configuration features a high-performance AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD. The same model variant is also $899 at Amazon, although the Ryzen 7 8745HS / 16GB RAM configuration is $699.
After reviewing this stylish, metal model, we awarded it 4.5 stars, earning it a TechRadar Pro Highly Recommended badge.

Today's top Geekom mini PC deal
The stylish Geekom A8 Max is a superb all-rounder mini PC running Windows 11 Pro, and sporting a Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
This Windows 11 Pro mini PC impressed us during our tests, where we found it "extremely powerful." In his review, our tester Alastair concluded: "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."
It's not built for gaming - although it's possible, we found it struggle when playing Cyberpunk 2077. However, on almost every other score - from business tasks to editing videos, it ticks every box. And if you take advantage of the extern GPU support, you'd have a makings of a decent compact content creation and gaming set-up.
Until we reviewed the follow-up Geekom A9 Max, this model was my top pick Windows machine in my guide to the best mini PCs. But that mini computer costs a lot more than the A8 Max, making this the better deal right now.

In our review, we found the A6 easily handled day-to-day business work and light video and photo editing - but lacks the raw power of a full content creator's machine. This model is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD.
In our Geekom AX8 Max review, we called this "a powerful office-ready option" thanks to its AI capabilities, all-metal build, and support for 8K monitors. This Windows 11 Pro mini PC comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS chip, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD.
When we reviewed the former-flagship IT13, we loved the " exceptional connectivity, making it a highly flexible machine that can be useful in numerous ways." But it's not the most powerful Geekom mini PC any more. This model features an Intel i9-13900HK processor, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD.
