Final Words & Conclusion

Mini PCs strike a balance between compact design, features, and performance. While they aren't tailored for high-end gaming due to more limited graphics capabilities, they work well as efficient workstations or dependable computing solutions for students. Their small footprint ensures easy storage, making them perfect for limited-space environments. With VESA compatibility, these devices can conveniently be mounted on the back of monitors. Impressively, their capabilities continue to enhance annually. We do have to address the elephant in the room though, the 7940HS is equipped with an excellent integrated graphics processor, and paired with 32GB System memory you can actually play games in Full HD / 1920x1080:

The performance you see above is based on best/ultra image quality settings, and to get closer to that 60 FPS domain, you'll likely need to activate FSR or lower image quality settings. But as far as integrated graphics go, the embedded solution is impressive. In our performance test, the Mini PC showcased reliable and even substantial results. The tested model, equipped with 32 GB RAM and a solid 2 TB SSD, demonstrated commendable performance under harsh conditions. Although the GEEKOM Mini A7 is not primarily designed for gaming, as reflected in its 3DMark and game scores, its integrated graphics performance remains outstanding.
