For years, desktop computers seemed doomed to disappear. Laptops gained ground and mobile phones absorbed many of their functions. But Desktop computing isn’t dead: it’s just shrunk. The Geekom A6 is a good example of this metamorphosis. A computer that, instead of dominating the desktop, hides behind the monitor. Compact, quiet and surprisingly capable.
Inside its case, just 11 centimeters on a side and 4 centimeters high, there is an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, with eight cores, accompanied by a Radeon 680M graphics card. In practice, this means that the A6can seamlessly perform demanding tasks such as photo editing, HD video retouching, or heavy multitaskingwhile maintaining very controlled consumption and temperature.
Added to this are 32 GB of DDR5 memory (expandable up to 64) and a 1 TB NVMe SSD that offers significantly faster reading speeds than conventional drives. In daily use, the experience is agile: The system boots in seconds, programs open almost instantly and the computer responds without noticeable latencies.
Although the chip is not designed for next-gen gamesthe integrated Radeon 680M surprises with its performance in moderately demanding titles and, above all, for its fluidity in 4K or even 8K video playback at 30 fps. Thus, more than an entertainment computer, it is a versatile work machine.
The design of Geekom A6 is sober and functional: a small metal box, without unnecessary edges or decorations. Hence its tight price of €499, although with a 20% discount with this code: LARZA620.
His outward discretion contrasts with the generosity of his connections. On the front and back there are literally a dozen ports, including USB-A, (4 in total) USB-C (with DisplayPort support, two of them), HDMI (also 2), a 35mm headphone jack and a 2.5Gb Ethernet output.
Can connect up to four 4K screens simultaneously, something unthinkable in equipment of this size a few years ago. The IceBlast 1.5 cooling system keeps the temperature under control. At rest it is practically inaudible; Under load, the fan can be heard, but without being annoying. During long work sessions, the A6 remains stable and without overheating, thanks to careful thermal engineering.
The possibility of mount it behind the monitor using VESA mount Turns your desk into a clean and tidy space. It’s the type of computer that disappears from sight, but not from performance.
where the Geekom A6 stands out in its balance between performance, size and price. For less than the cost of a laptop with similar features, it offers more than enough power for most professional or home users.
It is an ideal tool for journalists, designers, programmers or students who need a powerful computer, but they don’t have the space, nor the desire, to deal with towers, cables or noisy fans.
Furthermore, its modularity plays in favor of sustainability: can be easily expanded in RAM or storageprolonging its useful life without needing to replace all the equipment. A rare detail in the era of sealed devices.
He preinstalled operating system, Windows 11 Pro, comes clean of unnecessary software and make the most of the hardware. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity guarantee a stable and fast connection, and compatibility with external drives, peripherals and additional monitors makes it a true digital “hub.”
Not everything is perfect. The Geekom A6 is not a computer for demanding video games nor for 3D rendering tasks. Its fan, although silent in most cases, can be noticeable when it is pushed too hard.
And although it supports expansion, the second storage slot only supports SATA drives instead of NVMe, which limits performance in very intensive configurations. But These limitations are relative: in practice, for 99% of users, The team exceeds expectations. It’s fast, efficient and takes up less space than a cup of coffee or almost.
In an age where devices compete for our attention, the Geekom A6 opt for intelligent discretion. He does not want to be the protagonist, but rather the invisible support on which the work happens.
For those who need power without excesses, Noise-free performance and no-show design, this mini-computer delivers on its promise: Be small, but think big.
