GEEKOM A5 mini-PC Review: Affordable Cezanne Zen 3 at 35W

Ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) desktops have gained significant market share over the last decade. Processors with TDPs ranging from 6 - 15W formed the backbone of this segment in the initial years. With CPU vendors allowing configurable TDPs for their notebook processors, UCFF systems with regular notebook processors (operating in cTDP-down mode) have become common.

GEEKOM, the private label brand of Shenzhen Jiteng Network Technology Co., has introduced multiple UCFF systems in the last year. The brand has become an avenue for the company to market excess inventory from their OEM / ODM production runs. As a result, we are seeing the introduction of fully configured systems based on older CPU generations at affordable price points. The GEEKOM A5, based on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H from early 2021, is one such product. Read on for a detailed look at the performance profile and value proposition of the GEEKOM A5.
