GEEKOM A9 Max AI Silver+Black 2025

The GEEKOM A9 Max AI packs a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32GB RAM, and 2TB SSD into a tiny, quiet package with best-in-class port selection. It's a strong pick for productivity and AI workloads, but the integrated graphics and thin reliability data give us pause. At $1,499, it's worth it if you need the size and the AI features, not if you want to game.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is a 12-core chip that sits well above average in our database, and the 80 TOPS of AI acceleration is the headline feature here. The Radeon 890M integrated graphics are solid for what they are, roughly middle of the pack, and they'll handle light gaming and 4K video without breaking a sweat. But don't expect discrete GPU performance. The 32GB of RAM and 2TB SSD are strong specs for a mini PC, and real owners keep saying the same thing: it's fast and it's quiet.

Stacked against the Apple Mac Studio M4 Max, the GEEKOM can't touch it on raw performance, but it's also a fraction of the size and runs Windows 11 Pro out of the box. The HP OMEN GT22-3080 and Lenovo Legion Tower 5a will absolutely destroy it in gaming, but they're full towers with discrete GPUs. The Dell Tower ECT1250 and CLX SET are similar stories. The GEEKOM's real competition is other mini PCs, and in that space it's one of the best specced options we've seen.

At $1,499 USD, this is not a cheap mini PC. You're paying for the AI-focused chip, the compact build, and the port selection. The 3-year warranty helps soften the sting, and the specs are legitimately strong for the form factor. But if you don't need the AI features or the tiny size, you can get more raw performance for the same money in a traditional desktop.

The GEEKOM A9 Max AI is a tiny box with a serious chip inside. You get AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD in a 0.68kg package that barely takes up desk space. It's aimed at people who want Copilot+ features and solid everyday performance without a tower hogging the room.

Port selection is frankly ridiculous for something this small. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, Thunderbolt, eight USB-A ports, dual 2.5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 7. If you need to plug things in, this thing has you covered.

Gamers should look elsewhere. The integrated Radeon 890M scores 16 out of 100 for gaming in our database, and no amount of FSR magic will fix that. If you need a machine for serious 3D rendering, video editing with GPU acceleration, or modern AAA titles, buy a tower with a discrete GPU. You'll get way more performance per dollar.

This is for people who want a powerful, compact Windows machine with Copilot+ support and don't need serious gaming performance. It's a great fit for developers, AI tinkerers, and anyone who values desk space. If you're a gamer or need heavy GPU compute, this isn't your box.
