The Geekom AS6 - Ryzen 9-6900HX

The Geekom AS6 is a small mini PC measuring 120 x 130 x 58 mm. The processor is an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, accompanied in our case by 32 GB DDR5-4800 Mt/s RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD.

We start by unpacking the device. This mini PC comes in very compact packaging, identical to the Asus packaging except for the colors. Inside, we find the mini PC on the left in plastic packaging. On the right, we have the documents, as well as the charger and the VESA support with its screws for mounting on a screen or chassis.

Let’s talk about the charger, which is a 120W 20V power supply with cylindrical connectors to be plugged into the rear of the PC.

We’ve also bundled an HDMI cable and a VESA bracket with the necessary screws.

Presentation

To begin with, the Geekom AS6 is very compact in this version, weighing in at just 757g. The overall design is largely plastic.

Then there are the connectors, a very complete solution. We have 2 USB type-A 3.2 gen 1 ports on the front, as well as a 3.5mm jack and a USB type-C gen 4 port. On the rear, we have a USB type-C gen 4 port, 2 HDMI 2.1 video outputs and a DisplayPort 1.4 output, 3 USB type-A 3.2 gen 2 ports. As for network connectivity, we have a 2.5 Gb RJ45 socket, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. This is a very complete solution.

The special feature here is the second DisplayPort 1.4 port on the top cover. On Asus ExpertCenter products, this can be configured as an RS232, VGA, HDMI, RJ45 or DisplayPort port.
