Geekom A7 Mini PC Review (Ryzen 9 7940HS)

Rating: 8.5.

The Geekom A7 is a tiny PC with a total volume of just 0.47L. Inside that minuscule chassis is a Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 2TB SSD. The combination of hardware is sure to be capable when carrying out work related and general computing tasks, but can the integrated Radeon 780M graphics deliver solid gaming performance too?
