- Geekom A5 Pro replaces Ryzen 7 with Ryzen 5 and loses some performance
- The mini PC supports up to 64GB of RAM across two slots
- Storage options include both M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots
Geekom has quietly updated its budget mini PC line with the new A5 Pro, delivering modest hardware changes while maintaining a compact and versatile design.
The Geekom A5 Pro replaces the Ryzen 7 5800H in the original A5 with the newer Ryzen 5 7530U.
Although it uses a newer processor, benchmarks show a 15 to 20% drop in performance compared to the older Ryzen 7 5800H model.
Memory and storage capacity remain flexible
The Geekom A5 Pro comes standard with 16GB of RAM, down from 32GB in its predecessor, but it still supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory across two SO-DIMM slots.
Storage options include M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots that allow up to 3 TB of total storage.
The mini PC offers a full range of connectivity options suitable for casual users and compact workstations.
These include a 2.5G Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a DC power input, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports.
Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth provide wireless connectivity, making it suitable for mobile workstations and general mini PC use without additional adapters.
Geekom has retained the compact form factor of the A5 series, allowing the A5 Pro to fit comfortably in limited desk space or laptop setups.
Although the CPU change lowers raw performance, the mini PC still handles multitasking, document editing, media playback and light applications efficiently.
Users can expand memory and storage to adapt the A5 Pro for heavier workloads, although it doesn’t compete with high-end mobile workstations or full-size workstations.
On Geekom’s official website, the Ryzen 5 7530U variant with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD sells for $519, but the company has reduced the price to $469.
Geekom also offers a limited time coupon code, GKXMASC5which drops the price by another 5%, bringing it down to $446. It should have expired by now, but at the time of writing it is still live.
Geekom continues to sell the older Ryzen 5 7430U variant in other regions, including Europe and North America, at a price of around $376.
