Summary and conclusion

If you ask the Ryzen 9 5900HX, it certainly doesn’t count itself as old school when it comes to raw processor performance. While it’s not quite as efficient in terms of power consumption, it consistently earns one of the top ranks in CPU benchmarks at the time of testing:

Battle of the dwarfs: Mini-PC benchmark comparison and overview of all models tested so far

The really diverse and above all numerous connectivity options also stand out here, as this mini-PC is almost on the same level as a desktop PC. The complex internal design doesn’t make a difference in practice, but the construction is interesting in any case. Thanks to the well-dimensioned cooling system, both temperatures and noise levels remain under control, which is also commendable.

In the German webshop as well as on Amazon, you currently pay around 650€ for the model with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The PN52-BBR959XD barebone is priced at 560€, so I think the 90€ difference for the already included and installed components is fair. When asked, I was told that a different fan is used.

This puts it just below its direct competitor, the Beelink SER6 Pro with Ryzen 7 7735HS, and even offers a larger SSD. But especially when graphics performance is required, the aging APU simply can’t keep up with the new generations. So we’d rather wait for a review of the successor model Geekom AS6, which can then also offer a Radeon graphics 680M.
