What is the difference between this model and the A8? They both have the exact same specs, but this AX8 is bigger, heavier and more expensive. Why is that the case, what is the key difference between them?

Man this day is off to a great start. A new video from The Greatest Technician That’s Ever Lived, on my birthday no less this has been The Greatest Birthday Gift That’s Ever Happened
I have a similar PC from Minisforum (also has the 780M). Most important spec if you're after gaming is "TDP," as these things are extremely power-limited (that is, the CPU performs way better when the GPU isn't under load and vice versa). Mine has a 70W ceiling and still caps out in intensive scenes, so I'd be curious to see it go head-to-head with the A8's 45W cap but newer, more efficient architecture.
Perhaps I should've chosen a different word 😅 That fart when starting the playback is just how Adobe Premiere is when working with 4K video w/o proxy, regardless of your CPU. Even does it on my 5800x w/ 4090 😭 Maybe I've become numb to the abuse
How is the gaming section a lie? I literally showed you the raw numbers. Go watch ETA Prime’s longer review of this same PC. It’s the same results. If you’re going to criticize people at least base your argument on facts. Weirdo.
@@SalemTechsperts then you should disclaim that in the intro. Not disclosing you did this for some sort of compensation is illegal and dishonest behavior
I love the grey metal Shuttle mini PC's. I can take the top off and the fans and place a Noctua 20cm fan on it to cool it without a sound-even at load.
Those little Geekom are the best. They are the only Windows machines I will own. The only PC I will get after years of broken down PC laptops and noisy fan PCs the size of a dorm fridge. Closest thing to a Mac Mini you can get with Windows, plus upgradable RAM?! Totally worth it.
Ive always wanted a PC with 680 or 780 graphics but particularly I’ve always wanted a GPD win max. It’s essentially a mini-laptop with joysticks bumpers, SIM card, a really good battery, eGPU support, 680m. It fits the niche of people like me who want both a gaming handheld and a reliable laptop you could just use for anything else
Waiting a tiny bit longer to see where these things go in terms of processing/gpu power but i gotta say its nice to see a pc that has the chops to game that is this small and doesn't come decked out in rgbs. I'm seriously considering one of these as a game console replacement honestly
as a fellow massAss (western, MA) Pc lover with not as quite racoon like hands. I do like a lot of geekom models, i bought 2 of their models for family members who PC were insanely old like them.....and space was a huge issue. My mom wants her toothbrush back, and I like the Steve and LvL1 tech in background....also since it supports FSR2/3 it can upscale some title for slightly better FPS. All in All Geekom made a great model with this, and while 900USD isn't cheap the build quality and performance are great.
Hahah loved this. Curious what models you bought? These are huge sellers in my shop simply for their aesthetics alone. Most customers mount it on the back of their monitor or TV and call it a day
@@SalemTechsperts The 2 I bought one was the and 399$ w AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. Used it to replace a midtower i3-4170 i built for my cousin over a decade ago, he is now 65 years old and moved into a much much smaller Apartment. So being able to mount to back of his monitor saved a ton of space. Other one I bought for a friends GF who wanted to play the simple games terreria, mine craft, overwatch, nothing demanding and she also has a tiny bedroom so for her it work we got her Ryzen 9 7940HS model the newer ones weren't out at the time. Im 45 and been building PCs since I was 12, but somehow own a pizzeria. But everyone at my pizzeria we PC game. So for people who have very limited space or just don't need a ton of power these are great, every new generation these and the build quality get better and better.
Looking at the tech specs, it’s freaking amazing! AM5, DDR5… it’s amazing! I think the $750 unit is really the best value. Performance-wise, I think paying the extra $150 might be negligible unless you really feel you really need the 2TB storage.
This little thing is impressive for the price they are asking for. I'm going to start recommending this thing to older neighbors and family members that constantly ask me for tech support/recommendations for their personal offices.
your funny as hell but someone who can give great advice on stuff like this and many other things this technician is truly the greatest technician that's ever lived
Hi, I wanted a professional opinion. I am using an hp pavilion 14 with a Ryzen 5500 u 16gb variant. Recently i gave for repair because the display had been dusty from lint and other things. Ever since the repair, the device randomly shuts down . More importantly, it doesn't start after sleep mode. It stays frozen or blacks out until reset using power button. All local technician aren't able to figure it out and the hp store is refusing saying they won't do it as it is board related issue(asked prior when the display wasn't functioning)
5:01 A new standart of a noise presentation Just was Born. And to Be honest - I am sick of all the other videos around the UA-cam- when I need to find HOW loud is the fan and they give us some dB and "standart room noise" answers !! We need "ouuhhhhh" or "igggghhh" - choose now what is Better! You already know ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Hey the 780m, same as the Rog Ally, it's sweet spot is actually 900p scaled with fsr to 1080. At least thats what I have found with my ally Z1 Extreme. I can say that it was so popular Asus did an update to allow 900p as a native resolution. Also, saw Arma on your list, the 780m runs Arma 3 on medium no sweat. Which is a task.
The closest competing mini-PC in the market is Minisforum, where you can get the UM890 Pro with 32 GB of 5600 MT/s memory and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and it is using the Ryzen 9 8945HS for $650 instead, which, to be honest, I'd rather go with since their APU tends to use liquid metal on it instead of thermal paste, which from my experience using the UM690S and the EM780 is very cool on the temps when under a heavy load.
Everyone loves liquid metal until it needs to be replaced lol but that is certainly a competitor. The size difference and power consumption is the biggest difference between the 2 and that would be the decider whether to spend the extra on the GEEKOM. The Minisforum UM890 Pro is 130 x 127 x 60.6mm The Geekom AX8 Pro is 112.4 x 112.4 x 37mm Quite a size difference, so it would depend on priorities.
@@SalemTechsperts If size is what matters, there is the EM780, which is 80×80×43mm but it uses a Ryzen 7 7840U but has 32GB 6400MT/s memory instead and a SD card slot. The system is so tiny as well; it can be tucked away in the corner and not really notice it being there and the system does have USB4 the only drawback with that system is that the NVME is a 2230, but i replaced it for a 2TB and partitioned it 3 ways, having 500gb for Windows, 500gb for Bazzite and 1TB for games and i use the SD card slot for all other things which i have a 1.5TB SD card in the unit. The other benefit is that the system is powered by the USB4 port, so if I were to use an eGPU with it, I could use that to power the PC as well as the GPU and then be able to play more demanding games if I were to choose to. Lastly, as someone part of the mini-PC community, I have spoken to a lot of people that use the Minisforum PCs with liquid metal in them, and none of them ever needed to replace it, and they've been using theirs for years in which they just needed to grab their air duster to blow out whatever dust is inside of the system, and that was it.
@@EcksGamer yea. Liquid metal rarely has to be replaced. There's nothing to dry out. Your biggest issue would be if it somehow oxidizes (which clamped between two surfaces, it shouldn't oxidize anywhere but the exposed edges). That's one of the great upsides to LM. It's basically forever in most environments. Although PTM is probably taking the cake for combined marks now.
@@ObservationofLimits LM can affect copper too, but much much slower rate. Steve(GN) already made a comparsion video about the different coldplates reaction to the LM and Linus already showed, that LM can corrode copper coldplates too. They applied LM to one of their test laptop and dont touched it for years. There was some damage to the coldplate after the cleanup.
personally I purchased one of the cheaper models and use it to run dedicated gaming servers for games like minecraft and satisfactoy. A nice cheaper mini pc, doesnt use more power than it needs which is nice for those looking to run servers. Just a heads up the cheaper ones are great for that.
Right now, it just BARELY doesn't make sense for me to get this. I'm moving to an infrastructure with self-hosted cloud gaming while my main machines are planned to be a Mac Studio for video editing and a Mac Mini as a media box in the bedroom and a Proxmox server in the living room. The Proxmox machine will be the NAS, Jellyfin host, and in charge of virtualizing a VM for self-hosted cloud gaming. Our new-ish Framework laptop will be running Linux (Fedora as of this writing). Some of this is probably a very bad idea, but I don't care. It's going to work for us. However, I can justify recommending these to everyone asking for recommendations for good pre-builts.
Do you fix portable hard drives? One day mine just stopped responding. I can still plug it in like normal And the light turns on when I plug it in but It can’t connect to any of the data in it. I sent it to one place and they said it would cost thousands of dollars to even attempt anything. They were more concerned about wanting me to replace the sturdy casing because it had the tiniest little dent on the surface (which it had a year or two before it stopped connecting) then the actual recovery of my data, which caused me to cancel service with them and have them return it.
What can I expect in terms of photo editing ? Like capture one and photoshop ? Will it outperform my laptop with an i71280p and rtx 3050? And will my thunderbolt 3 dock work on it ?
mr greatest technician thats ever lived, i have a quick question basically, ive had this issue with my computer where under stress both my monitors would stop recieving anything, as if the pc is off the only way to get back the video input to my monitors was to just restart my entire computer recently i found that one of the gpu-psu cables was loose, due to them being put in in the wrong order, leaving something in the way of the far right cable (on a 3070) now, my question is, would that loose cable (now properly on the pins) be able to cause this issue or should i be looking elsewhere?
literally 4 days later the Core Ultra 9 288V gets announced and has an iGPU the speed of an RTX 3050 Also the Khadas Mind V2 just came out, it's a mini PC with a real PCIe slot, you can put in a desktop RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. The Mini PC everybody has been waiting for. You GOT to do a review on that
"If you really want the most powerful, most miniest mini PC", that is also recommended by the best technician that's ever lived😁, " this is the one to grab".
The greatest technique that ever lived. I gotta say that looks pretty d*** good. I am not very modern, but my windows are the XP. How many years than years because they shut it down? Looking On my cellphone enter videos, but been looking for for something like that that came out on the back of the t. V. That's many, can I get put on my 55 inch TV now without work on the T. V. And ever does? I am definitely interested in one of those I don't do much gaming. I do really do a lot of online downloads of documentaries and repair as specs of antique, electronic or antique disabled. Anything antique to repair? I do a lot of antique repair of any. Each thing and I need a lot. Sometimes I need it done. Load the specs, and therefore I need a big t. V to see this backs easier and need something with a good lot of memory n. FI can do all this, then I am definitely interested. Could you tell me where I could find one

The system is so tiny as well; it can be tucked away in the corner and not really notice it being there and the system does have USB4 the only drawback with that system is that the NVME is a 2230, but i replaced it for a 2TB and partitioned it 3 ways, having 500gb for Windows, 500gb for Bazzite and 1TB for games and i use the SD card slot for all other things which i have a 1.5TB SD card in the unit.
The other benefit is that the system is powered by the USB4 port, so if I were to use an eGPU with it, I could use that to power the PC as well as the GPU and then be able to play more demanding games if I were to choose to.
Lastly, as someone part of the mini-PC community, I have spoken to a lot of people that use the Minisforum PCs with liquid metal in them, and none of them ever needed to replace it, and they've been using theirs for years in which they just needed to grab their air duster to blow out whatever dust is inside of the system, and that was it.
@@EcksGamer yea. Liquid metal rarely has to be replaced. There's nothing to dry out. Your biggest issue would be if it somehow oxidizes (which clamped between two surfaces, it shouldn't oxidize anywhere but the exposed edges).
That's one of the great upsides to LM. It's basically forever in most environments.
Although PTM is probably taking the cake for combined marks now.
@@ObservationofLimits LM can affect copper too, but much much slower rate. Steve(GN) already made a comparsion video about the different coldplates reaction to the LM and Linus already showed, that LM can corrode copper coldplates too. They applied LM to one of their test laptop and dont touched it for years. There was some damage to the coldplate after the cleanup.

personally I purchased one of the cheaper models and use it to run dedicated gaming servers for games like minecraft and satisfactoy. A nice cheaper mini pc, doesnt use more power than it needs which is nice for those looking to run servers. Just a heads up the cheaper ones are great for that.
Right now, it just BARELY doesn't make sense for me to get this. I'm moving to an infrastructure with self-hosted cloud gaming while my main machines are planned to be a Mac Studio for video editing and a Mac Mini as a media box in the bedroom and a Proxmox server in the living room. The Proxmox machine will be the NAS, Jellyfin host, and in charge of virtualizing a VM for self-hosted cloud gaming. Our new-ish Framework laptop will be running Linux (Fedora as of this writing). Some of this is probably a very bad idea, but I don't care. It's going to work for us.
However, I can justify recommending these to everyone asking for recommendations for good pre-builts.

Do you fix portable hard drives? One day mine just stopped responding. I can still plug it in like normal And the light turns on when I plug it in but It can’t connect to any of the data in it. I sent it to one place and they said it would cost thousands of dollars to even attempt anything. They were more concerned about wanting me to replace the sturdy casing because it had the tiniest little dent on the surface (which it had a year or two before it stopped connecting) then the actual recovery of my data, which caused me to cancel service with them and have them return it.
On its way to become THE GREATEST MINI PC THAT’S EVER BUILT 🎉
What can I expect in terms of photo editing ? Like capture one and photoshop ? Will it outperform my laptop with an i71280p and rtx 3050? And will my thunderbolt 3 dock work on it ?
The greatest mini pc that ever lived.
what is the logiciel do you use to stress test your PCs
This is great for DAWs and emulation y'all.
You should make a short video on PTM7950
time 5:09 is the best part of this video!
Too many cameos to even begin mentioning here, great content!
mr greatest technician thats ever lived, i have a quick question
basically, ive had this issue with my computer where under stress both my monitors would stop recieving anything, as if the pc is off
the only way to get back the video input to my monitors was to just restart my entire computer
recently i found that one of the gpu-psu cables was loose, due to them being put in in the wrong order, leaving something in the way of the far right cable (on a 3070)
now, my question is, would that loose cable (now properly on the pins) be able to cause this issue or should i be looking elsewhere?
literally 4 days later the Core Ultra 9 288V gets announced and has an iGPU the speed of an RTX 3050
Also the Khadas Mind V2 just came out, it's a mini PC with a real PCIe slot, you can put in a desktop RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. The Mini PC everybody has been waiting for. You GOT to do a review on that
This is now the 2nd ad for the same computer ive seen for some reason
Think i can start to save up to replace my Beelink mini pc. Starting to freeze on me nowadays... Which is sad though it cost me around $500.
you are the greatest technician but not gamer that has ever lived 😅
Should I get the MacBook you have or should I get the Lenovo slim 5i ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

These are great and all but I’m holding off for the new amd chip before I buy one.
The greatest technique that ever lived. I gotta say that looks pretty d*** good. I am not very modern, but my windows are the XP. How many years than years because they shut it down? Looking On my cellphone enter videos, but been looking for for something like that that came out on the back of the t. V. That's many, can I get put on my 55 inch TV now without work on the T. V. And ever does? I am definitely interested in one of those I don't do much gaming. I do really do a lot of online downloads of documentaries and repair as specs of antique, electronic or antique disabled. Anything antique to repair? I do a lot of antique repair of any. Each thing and I need a lot. Sometimes I need it done. Load the specs, and therefore I need a big t. V to see this backs easier and need something with a good lot of memory n. FI can do all this, then I am definitely interested. Could you tell me where I could find one
Okay. But can it run Crysis ??
Can you benchmark the little love box ?
So..
What you're saying is it would perfect for all my office and business work? Yeah, if i want to game, I'll use the playstation or the X-box.
0:40 I thought there were people outside my room.
why
@@run19O The sound from the game was out of place made me think it was coming from outside of my room. It is like a random iphone ringtone while you were watching video.
