The short version
The A9 Max 2026 Edition is Geekom's flagship mini PC, built around AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 or HX 370 with Radeon 890M graphics, dual 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, two HDMI 2.1 and two USB4 ports. Tom's Hardware liked its design, low idle power and port selection but found the fans loud under stress and the single 32GB memory stick a drag on gaming. Memory and storage are user-upgradable, and the 120 W power adapter is external.
Pros
- Two SO-DIMM slots and two M.2 slots (2280 and 2230) allow memory and storage upgrades
- Dual HDMI 2.1 and dual USB4 ports support up to four 4K displays
- Dual 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7 and an SD 4.0 card reader
- Very low idle power and quiet at light load in Tom's Hardware testing
- Three-year warranty from Geekom
Cons
- Tom's Hardware's unit shipped with a single 32GB stick, heavily limiting Radeon 890M gaming until a second module is added
- Fans become clearly audible under heavy load, per Tom's Hardware
- TechRadar notes a premium price and a limited stock SSD
- External 120 W power adapter
Best for
- Copilot+ office and development desktops
- Buyers who will add a second SO-DIMM for better graphics

Tom's Hardware
MixedLiked the compact design, low idle power and wealth of fast ports, but found the fans loud under stress and said the single 32GB SO-DIMM badly limits the Radeon 890M in games.

Common questions
Does the A9 Max 2026 ship with dual-channel memory?
Tom's Hardware received a unit with one 32GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM and found it heavily limited the Radeon 890M. With two SO-DIMM slots available, adding a second matched module restores dual-channel mode.
How far can it be upgraded?
Geekom's specification table lists up to 256GB of DDR5 across two SO-DIMM slots, plus one M.2 2280 and one M.2 2230 NVMe slot at PCIe 4.0 x4, for up to 8TB in total.
Is the power supply external?
Yes. Geekom lists a 19 V, 120 W adapter with a region-specific AC cord.
