Leaked Details on GEEKOM's QS1 Pro Mini PC

Recently, there was a leak regarding GEEKOM's upcoming QS1 Pro mini PC, which is their first venture into Arm-based PCs. This move seems to be aimed at competing with Apple's Mac mini. However, according to a recent leak, the QS1 Pro may face challenges in achieving this goal.

The leaked specifications, as reported by a Spanish publication, suggest that the QS1 Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon X1E-80-100 SoC, which is the second-fastest model in the X Elite family, positioned below the 84-100 SKU. The X1E-80-100 features 12 Oryon cores and a 3.8 TFLOPs Adreno GPU. Interestingly, the leaked information indicates GPU performance of up to 4.6 TFLOPs, which could be a typo or a hint at a potential X1E-84-100 variant. In terms of memory and storage, the QS1 Pro mini PC will support up to 64 GB of LPDDR5-5600 RAM and an M.2 2280 slot for up to 2 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. Additionally, the system will offer various ports including HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, USB4, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 2.5 G LAN, USB 2.0, an SD Card slot, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

However, the rumored pricing of the QS1 Pro may deter potential buyers, as it is expected to range between $740-$840, making it more expensive than most other mini PCs in the market. It's important to note that this pricing is based on rumors and could change in the future. The QS1 Pro is anticipated to be unveiled at CES 2025 next month, providing a closer look at its actual value.
