Devices like the Steam Deck or the ASUS ROG ALLY show that the level of miniaturization of computers has reached incredible levels that not long ago was impossible to imagine. And it is that compact computers have existed for a long time, but the main characteristic of models like this Geekom AS6 is that they offer unimaginable potential.
Small and very powerful
As we have already mentioned, mini PCs have been around for quite some time, but this Geekom model has a configuration and features that you will have to pay attention to, since we are talking about this small 13 x 13 x 5 box centimeters hides inside a powerful processor AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with 32GB RAM and 1 TB of internal storage.
With this cover letter, you can imagine that the team responds very well to all kinds of tasks, including the most demanding ones that a normal team could resist. This is the main characteristic that defines this equipment, since we have an extremely compact computer with plenty of potential for many functions.
If you are interested in numbers, in Diablo IVthe team works between 25 and 30 FPS in low qualityMeanwhile in force horizon 5 we managed to reach the 60 FPS playing at low quality. both to 1440p. You will be able to verify that it is not a high-end gamer equipment to use, however, they can become playable if you slightly sacrifice the graphic quality. as far as PCMark10 regards, we have obtained 6,126 points in the standard test of the free demo.
With the signature of ASUS
Something that especially calls our attention is that at the design level Geekom has had the help of ASUS to develop this equipment. The result is quite obvious, since the interior of the components is quite careful and is far from other models of Asian brands. We notice a premium character in the materials and the internal organization of the components.
Aesthetically it keeps the proportions of a team with its characteristics, although those straight lines and such a square format make it quite special compared to the rest.
very expandable
Another aspect that we liked a lot is the connectivity and expansion options it offers. On the one hand, we have three front USB ports (two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and a USB 4 Type-C) as well as a mini jack port for headphones. On the back there are 2 HDMI and a DisplayPort (with which you can connect up to 4 screens with 4K resolution in total), as well as other 3 USB 3.2 Gen 1 portsand other USB 4 Type-C to connect external graphics cards.
At the level of network connections, nothing will be missing either, since a port 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6 they will be enough to reach the maximum speed in the network. And without forgetting Bluetooth 5.2.
Of course, among so many connectivity options, we would have liked to find an SD card slot, since we imagine this AS6 as a great team for photo retouching, and an integrated card reader would be perfect for working with photographic and video material.
While the standard configuration mounts an M.2 SSD memory, there is the possibility to mount your own SSD disk in a slot that arrives prepared for it. Installing it is as simple as removing the four lower screws from the equipment and placing the unit in the hole designed for it.
a great price
best of Geekom AS6 is that it currently has a fairly aggressive discount on its website, with which you can get the model with Ryzen 7 for 649 eurosor the model with Ryzen 9 that we have been able to test for 769 euros, both with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage. In addition, you can enjoy an additional discount if you use the discount code that the manufacturer has sent us to obtain a reduction of 30 euros in the final price of the product. To get it, you must use the code HZAS6 in the shopping cart.
