2026 verdict
Geekom GT1 Mega Ultra 9 is the desktop replacement of this pair and the winner, running an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with Arc graphics and an AI Boost NPU, 32GB of dual-channel DDR5 at 5600 MT/s expandable to 64GB, a 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, two 2.5G Ethernet ports and two USB4 Type-C ports plus five USB 3.2 Type-A, with an SD Card 4.0 reader, a Kensington slot and a VESA mount, all under the same 3 year warranty as its cheaper sibling. Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) is the budget option and behaves like one: a six-core Ryzen 5 7430U with Radeon Vega 7, 16GB of DDR4, a 512GB PCIe 3.0 drive, one 2.5G port, Wi-Fi 6 and no USB4, in a smaller and lighter aluminium chassis that stays quiet under everyday load. Buy Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) for office work at the lowest price; buy Geekom GT1 Mega Ultra 9 when creative applications, multi-monitor work or light virtualisation are the daily reality.
