Amazon price-matches ‘extremely powerful’ mini PC ahead of Prime Day

If you’re looking for a compact system with plenty of performance, I’ve found a great deal on my favorite mini PC – where Amazon has finally price-matched the Geekom A8 Max for $799. And in the UK, the A8 Max is down to just £599 (was £679) at Amazon.co.uk.

I’d been keeping an eye on this mini PC – I’d already seen it discounted to $799 at Geekom when you use code GKGS100 (it’s also on sale for £645 at Geekom.co.uk). And finally, my patience has paid off. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has slashed the price to match Geekom’s sale.

This is the mini PC deal I always look out before, because it’s a hugely powerful compact desktop that I think ticks the box for everyone from business professionals to content creators. At the heart of the system is AMD’s Ryzen 7 8745HS processor, an eight-core, 16-thread chip capable of boosting up to 5.1GHz. Combined with 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, it has the specifications to handle demanding productivity workloads, content creation, multitasking, and everyday computing with ease. Memory can be expanded all the way to 128GB, while storage can grow to as much as 4TB, giving the system plenty of headroom for larger projects, media libraries, and professional applications.

I absolutely love this versatile machine. In his rave review our mini PC expert Alistair called it an “extremely powerful” professional-level mini PC and said that it “absolutely excels.” He came away highly “impressed all around with its performance.”

Integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics provide enough horsepower for photo editing, video editing, and other graphics-intensive tasks without requiring a dedicated graphics card.

That makes the A8 Max particularly appealing if you want a powerful workstation without the bulk of a traditional desktop tower.

Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, USB4 with 40Gbps bandwidth, dual HDMI outputs, and a generous selection of USB ports ensure there’s no shortage of options for peripherals and accessories.

Support for up to four 4K displays is particularly useful for professionals who work across multiple screens.

Whether you’re editing video, managing spreadsheets, monitoring dashboards, or juggling several applications at once, the additional screen space can dramatically improve productivity.

Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed, and Geekom backs the system with a three-year warranty, which is longer than many competing mini PCs offer.
