The Geekom AX7 Pro is a new mini PC from the brand, and it seems to be just a different variant of the AX8 Pro that was recently released. While the latter came with the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, the newer compact computer sports the Ryzen 9 7940HS.

Geekom has launched a new mini PC, the AX7 Pro. At the core, it appears just to be a different variant of the AX8 Pro that the company has recently unveiled. The AX8 Pro featured AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS from the Hawk Point lineup. The newer option, on the other hand, has the Ryzen 9 7940HS.

Both processors offer similar performance, but the Ryzen 9 8945HS has a better-performing XDNA NPU, making it suitable for AI workloads. Nonetheless, thanks to the well-known AMD Radeon 780M iGPU inside the Ryzen 9 7940HS, the Geekom AX7 Pro can smoothly run most of the games at low to medium settings.

The mini PC also features a 40 Gbps USB4 port, which will enable you to install an eGPU to get a better gaming performance. But yes, it would've been good to see an OCuLink port instead, as it brings 64 Gbps bandwidth, making it a much better option for external GPU setups.

Besides the USB4 port, the Geekom AX7 Pro sports three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, one USB 2.0, one 2.5 Ethernet, and one HDMI 2.0. The mini PC can offer video output to four screens at a time, making it a good option for those with a multi-monitor setup.

Other than that, the AX7 Pro has two DDR5 slots inside that can hold up to 64 GB of RAM. For storage, the mini PC features a PCIe 4.0 slot that can hold up to a 2 TB SSD. Other highlights include WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, IceBlast cooling system, and Windows 11 Pro.

Geekom hasn't launched it globally yet, but the variant with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage will reportedly cost €1,008 (about $1,093). If you're looking for something similar but cheaper, the Minisforum UM790 Pro is a great alternative (barebone variant curr. $431.92 on Amazon).
