Most major PC makers have released laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processors in the last half year or so. But so far we haven’t seen any desktop computers with the chips unless you count the Snapdragon Dev Kit which was discontinued before it was even made widely available.

And that makes the GEEKOM QS1 the first real desktop computer powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processor. Details about GEEKOM’s upcoming mini PC started to make the rounds last year, but CES 2025 is the official coming out party for this little desktop computer with a Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) processor.

That chip features 12 Oryon CPU cores with support for single and dual-core speeds up to 4 GHz or multi-core speeds up to 3.4 GHz, a 3.8 TFLOPS GPU, and a 45 TOPS NPU for on-device AI.

The computer pairs that processor with up to 64GB of LPDDR5-8400 memory and the system features support for up to two SSDs:

• 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4
• 1 x M.2 2242 PCIe Gen 4×2

Other features include a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button, support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and four digital microphones built into the computer.

Ports include:

• 1 x USB4
• 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
• 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
• 1 x HDMI 2.0
• 1 x 2.5 Gb Ethernet
• 1 x 3.5mm audio
• 1 x SD card reader

The spec sheet is a little contradictory when it comes to the computer’s physical dimensions: in one spot the system is said to measure 135.5 x 115.5 x 34.5mm, which would be 5.33″ x 4.54″ x 1.36″ if converted from millimeters to inches. But in another spot it’s said to be 4.4″ x 4.4″ x 1.4″. So I’d take the measurements with a grain of salt.

Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet, but GEEKOM’s partner Solid Pro plans to show off the mini PC this week during CES 2025.
