Geekom, the celebrated maker of compact, powerful mini PCs, is set to unveil its latest tiny terror at CES 2024 – the Geekom A7.
The company, which marked its 20th anniversary in October 2023, has built a reputation for excellence with mini PCs like the well-reviewed Mini IT13 and Mini IT11. The forthcoming A7 looks poised to continue that tradition.
Though full details will be announced at CES, we’ve gotten an early preview. The metal-bodied A7 packs a punch thanks to AMD Ryzen 7000 series APUs, up to 64GB DDR5 RAM clocked at 5600MHz, and an M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot for up to a 2TB SSD. A SATA drive connector offers storage expansion.
For wireless, count on Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Ports include 2.5G Ethernet, USB-A, HDMI, and 3.5mm audio. But what really stands out is the inclusion of a USB 4 Type-C port with support for blazing 40Gbps speeds.
The USB 4 compatibility mirrors Thunderbolt 4 specs. This means creators can connect GPU docking stations for serious performance gains. And it’s backward compatible with USB 3.2 and 2.0.
According to Geekom’s CEO Alan Chen, “In terms of body size, the A7 will be the thinnest Mini PC on the market, with stability and performance guaranteed.”
Geekom is playing coy about pricing and availability details. But with the A7 poised for a CES debut, the wait won’t be long.
If past releases like the Mini IT13 and Mini IT11 are any indication, the A7 will continue Geekom’s leadership in tiny yet mighty mini PCs. The cutting-edge USB 4 support shows they remain committed to packing power into the smallest possible package.
