GEEKOM A6 Aurora Edition Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, 32GB DDR5 RAM 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, Radeon 680M, Compact Aluminium Design Windows 11 Pro Desktop Computer with USB4/8K UHD/Wi-Fi 6E/SD Slot

When my 2-year-old BeeLink SEI12 Mini PC suddenly broke, I had to scramble to find a replacement. I purchased two replacement candidate computers and went to work on a thorough evaluation. My plan to test these two well-equipped but moderately-priced Mini PCs hit an immediate snag when the first device that I began to check out, exhibited a fatal flaw. It would turn on using the power button but could only be turned off by pulling the power plug. Poor quality control doomed that computer to a quick rejection and a return to Amazon.My second new computer candidate performed perfectly. Unfortunately, the collection of available ports and their location on the computer quickly became a liability for this otherwise excellent computer. This computer, (along with the one that arrived defective), offered only one USB-C port, and that port was placed on the front of the computer. This meant that anything that I wanted to connect via USB-C would have its cable cluttering my desk top. For my usage, the best location for a USB-C port or ports has to be on the rear of the computer. To be fair, I did not know the importance of having multiple USB-C ports or that they should be located in the back, until I started with my evaluations.I went back to Amazon with a new set of upgraded design specifications, which included two, rear-mounted USB-C plugs. My search eventually lead me to Geekom and their A-6 Mini PC. The cost was about $100 more than I had planned to spend but, after using this remarkable computer for a week, I can safely say that the A-6 is well-worth the higher price tag.Firstly, the compact design and superb construction reminded me of an expensive Swiss watch. When I opened the computer, the components and their precise assembly established an expectation of high quality. So far, I have not been disappointed. The rear-mounted USB-C ports were located perfectly. To my great surprise, one of these ports was actually a USB-4 port, offering 40gbs data speeds. I am not sure if I actually need this extra speed, but is is certainly an unexpected bonus. There would be more to come.This new computer is my first to come with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU. I have been an Intel fan for years but given the great reviews that AMD has been getting lately, I decided to give this brand a try. The 6800H CPU is about 27% faster than those provided in the two previously evaluated Mini PCs. This value-packed computer also comes with 32GB RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Both of those numbers are double what the other computers included.As you can probably tell, I am very impressed with my new A-6 computer. Given that my old BeeLink box failed after two years, (1-year warranty), I am also impressed that Geekom includes a 3-year warranty with this purchase. To me, this tells me that Geekom is very confident in the quality and workmanship of the products they sell.What could be improved in future versions of this little computer? Not much, honestly. If I were to reach a bit, it would be nice if one of the USB-C ports provided enough wattage to enable “Super Fast charging for my Samsung phone.

I was very pleasantly surprised that my Geekompc came well packed and with the necessary cables for getting it up and running. Set-up was easy and ran flawlessly from the beginning. I was concerned that the fan would be noisy but to my amazement, the fan is whisper quiet and only becomes to a low noise when the graphics and CPU are being put to their work limits. Ports, memory, drive capacity are all top notch and seem to work together flawlessly. Very satisfied thus far and I am hoping for a lasting computing adventure.

Really nice mini PC. Lots of compute power and pretty decent graphics. It was very easy to setup as it had a great collection of onboard connectors for your monitor (HDMI) and USB peripherals. One of the things important to me is the very low noise. The fan is whisper quite most of the time. There have been a couple of instances where it needed to speed up and became more noticeable. But it still wasn't at all bad and it slowed down soon and became very quiet again.

The power cord is one of the detachable ones which has led to me wiggling it apart under my desk and turning the machine off. I superglued it after the 3rd time and no further issues. Machine runs great so far and this is my 3rd from this company. Great for my office and one of the few that lets me run 4 monitors. I do have an issue with one monitor where it will go offline and I have to unplug/replug the HDMI to UsbC and it picks right back up. Overall, I'm happy with it

I am very pleased with the Geekom A6 Mini computer. It is all as advertised and arrived in good time. This mini was purchased to take the place of an older windows 10 machine. I am not an expert on windows 11, nor have used OneDrive from Microsoft, but I am learning. But that has nothing to do with the computer.It is fast, and has been reliable, easy to set up and the noise level is so low I don't even notice any. I think it is a quality product so far anyway. No problems.

Amazing runs very very very well for the price defined recommend!!! My son plays video games like Fortnite and he can get up to 320 fps in creative while standing still! When he’s building in creative he will get 200 fps with no lag spikes or frame drops!!! Great Pc. Also looks really cool! The only thing I would change is there is no speakers so you have to use headphones! And the last thing is that it is very good quality very sturdy!

I'm a geezer. After always opting for the cheapest computer that worked (from the days of Hewlett Packard in a huge box, remember that?), and after my last computer fried its motherboard, I decided to take a look around to see if I could do better. Well, I think I did. Of course, computers get better as time goes on, but really, this was impressive. Like, I just plugged the USB from my printer into it, and boom, there was my printer working...you don't know how great that is until you've had to download the printer files from various websites with mixed results. Loaded photos from my phone, used an SD card form an old camera to load others, put in my back-up files which were read quickly, and I was back to work. The thing has two fans to keep it cool (hello, old computer? maybe you could have used one), which was important to me. I didn't want to lose another computer to "heat exhaustion", especially when it's so compact. Read the specs...it costs money to make parts from copper rather than plastic. So I paid for it, and was more than satisfied with the results. Losing a computer to heat is the pits. But this was a very worthwhile upgrade.
