2026 verdict
Newer memory and a bigger drive make Geekom A8 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) the stronger buy over Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) in this mini PC comparison, moving to DDR5 from DDR4 and shipping 1TB against 512GB.
The A8 also runs an eight-core Ryzen 7 8745HS with Radeon 780M graphics, a Ryzen AI NPU, a USB4 port and Wi-Fi 6E, all steps up from the A5 Pro's six-core Ryzen 5 7430U, Radeon Vega 7 graphics, no NPU, no USB4 and Wi-Fi 6. The Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) keeps one advantage: two storage bays, an M.2 2280 NVMe slot plus an M.2 2242 SATA slot, against the A8's single M.2 slot, and it costs less overall. Both share 16GB of memory, a three-year warranty, an all-aluminium chassis, an SD card reader, a Kensington lock and a VESA mount with HDMI cable. Choose Geekom A8 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) for a newer platform, an NPU and more storage out of the box; choose Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) for a second storage slot at a lower price.
