2026 verdict
DDR5 and a bigger drive carry it, so the Geekom AX8 Max (16GB + 1TB) wins this mini PC comparison.
It leads on DDR5 versus DDR4 and on 1TB versus 512GB, with a Ryzen 7 8745HS, Radeon 780M, dual 2.5G Ethernet and two USB4 ports. The Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) is cheaper, still SODIMM to 64GB, and uses a Ryzen 5 7430U with Vega 7 on a 65W adapter. Choose the AX8 Max as the faster-memory daily driver; choose the A5 Pro when a 65W Ryzen 5 is enough.
