Geekom A9 Max

T TechPowerUp LJay (TPU) · reviewer · Sept 2025

Power and efficiency are just as important as raw performance in a compact system, so I measured how much the A9 Max draws at idle, under CPU stress, during GPU-heavy tests, and while gaming. I also measured its noise levels while in an idle state and when the system is under a heavy workload.

Getting into the A9 Max requires a bit of effort. The four rubber feet have to be peeled off with some force to access the screws underneath, after which the bottom panel can be pried away.

The GEEKOM A9 Max (32 GB RAM/2 TB SSD model) is currently listed at around $999.

Compromises are minimal, and that's exactly the case with the new Geekom A9 Max , a mini PC that's truly captured a place on my desk in the last couple of weeks of use.

Geekom’s A9 Max 2026 was quiet at idle, with my readings showing it made about 29 to 30dB noise. The loudest it got was around 41dB, when I was trying to stress the system by running CPU and GPU benchmark tests simultaneously.

Well, this right here is the GeekCom A9 Max. And honestly, for what you're getting, it might be one of the best mini PCs available right now that doesn't run MacOss

Benchmarks in broader comparisons position the A9 Max close to the enthusiast laptop class in CPU metrics, underlining how competitive the platform is versus similarly sized machines.

Regardless, it's ridiculously fast. So, of course, this is a GeekCom, so it's got impeccable build quality.

That brings us to the end of the video, though, and overall, I have to say I've been really impressed by Geekom's A9 Max. If you've been expecting something that's going to rival your full-size desktop with, say, a 250 W GPU, then this obviously isn't going to be that, but considering it's less than a liter in volume, I think the A9 Max really packs a punch and doesn't do a whole lot wrong

So I believe this comes with the 890M GPU and also a really competent processor with plenty of power, genuinely probably more powerful than anything else I own, but let's get this open. So already on the underside of the box we see A9 Max and it's got the Ryzen 9 AIHX470, which is certainly a bit of a mouthful. You also have 32 GB of DDR5.

The Geekum A9 Max isn't just another mini PC. It's a small machine with a big punch with excellent connectivity, strong Ryzen AI hardware, reliable integrated graphics, and surprisingly high gaming performance. It proves that compact PCs no longer need to compromise. Whether you're looking for a space-saving workstation, a capable gaming box, or an AI friendly productivity machine, the A9 Max shows it's possible to have it all in one sleek silver package

Overall, the Geekcom A9 Max positions itself as one of the most capable small form factor PCs available in 2025. It combines AMD's cuttingedge stricks point processor with generous memory and storage, excellent connectivity, and the option to expand further if needed. The lack of OQ Link may disappoint power users who want the absolute fastest external GPU option, but the inclusion of USB4 mitigates this limitation. At its promotional price of $999, the A9 Max delivers outstanding value for performance, making it an excellent choice for gamers, professionals, and anyone looking for a compact yet versatile PC that can handle both work and play

I think they might be on to something.

For something this small, the A9 Max turned out to be a surprisingly capable little workhorse. If you're looking for a powerful mini PC for video editing, content creation, livestreaming, home office use, everyday computing, or some gaming, this one may be worth a closer look

Perhaps one of the best mini PCs you can buy. Or is it? With upgradeable storage and RAM, as well as a very powerful Ryzen CPU, I personally wouldn't ask for more. But is it worth the price? Now, we'll start off with the most important information, hardware. The A9 Max uses a Ryzen AI 9 HX370 CPU.

GEEKOM A9 Max review: my experience using this Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 mini PC for daily productivity and demanding software. With Radeon 890M graphics, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD, this compact desktop brings plenty of capability to my desk. What stands out most is how much it handles while staying quiet and taking up so little space. The software I use runs smoothly, and AI acceleration has been a useful bonus for certain tasks. The memory and storage meet my current needs, with room to expand later

These mini PCs are a neat idea, but the prices are ludicrous.

So, this is the GeekCom A9 Max mini PC with the Ryzen AI 9 HX370. This is a 12 core 24threaded CPU with four performance cores and eight ecores. It's a powerful CPU. If you're interested in some Cinebench results, they're right here on screen for you. But I'm mostly interested in what that Radon 890M iGPU can do in games these days, especially in the recent extremely intensive and broken titles.

Is this thing a gaming PC killer? No, no, it's not. But if you like the idea of a handheld because of the low power and compact size, but you would want a big screen, keyboard, and mouse, well, this has got you covered, and it's got huge amounts of connectivity on it as well.

Still, there's a catch. The fan noise tends to ramp up noticeably during peak AI calculations or sustained gaming sessions. It isn't silent by any means, which can be distracting if you're recording a podcast or streaming.
