Geekom is probably one of the better-known brands on the mini PC market these days, as the company offers compact devices in basically all price segments. Shoppers with a budget of roughly $500 should now take a closer look at the Geekom AE7, which is a quite powerful bit reasonably priced desktop computer powered by an octa-core chipset from AMD.
To be more exact, the AE7 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, which is a processor from the Phoenix family that relies on the Zen 4 architecture. This Geekom mini PC further sports 32GB DDR5-5600 memory and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Thanks to the coupon code "AE7April", this system can now be ordered for an enticing sale price of $525 including free shipping at the manufacturer's official online store. Since the Geekom AE7's official list price stands at $799, this Easter sale provides savings of about 34% or $274 and undercuts Amazon's lowest price thus far.
Before ordering, please take a moment to check out our comprehensive review of the Geekom AE7. All in all, we found that this is a pretty well-rounded mini PC with a well-made case, good performance and commendable connectivity options including USB 4, WiFi 6 and a quick UHS II SD card reader. That being said, this computer only supports a single M.2 SSD and gets relatively loud under full load, which might be a no-go for users who are sensitive to noise. For everyone else, the Ryzen 9-equipped AE7 might be a better deal than the comparable configuration of the newer AE8, which is currently priced at $649 on Amazon.
