Geekom has released the A9 Max 2026, a refreshed version of its original A9 Max mini-PC that launched in August 2025. The company updated the device with a new processor and an improved cooling system for its 2026 edition.
Pricing starts at $1,799 USD for 32GB RAM and 2TB storage configuration
The new model features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 APU, which Geekom claims provides a modest performance improvement over previous generations. It includes 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage. The system uses the third generation of Geekom's IceBlast cooling technology. The vendor alleges this new cooling system is 52% more efficient, though it has not confirmed the baseline for this measurement. Connectivity options include dual USB4 ports, a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port, and five USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.
Geekom priced the A9 Max 2026 at $1,799 USD (about $1,799) in the United States. This price represents a discount from the $2,299 MSRP. The same configuration costs £1,599 GBP (about $2,164) in the United Kingdom. Customers in the Eurozone can purchase the device for €1,699 EUR (about $1,994). The mini-PC is available for sale on Amazon in Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
The A9 Max 2026 targets users seeking high-performance computing in a compact form factor. The inclusion of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 APU positions the device for demanding tasks and gaming applications. The retention of the predecessor's port selection ensures compatibility with existing peripherals.
Geekom has not confirmed the launch window for the A9 Max 2026. The company also has not confirmed against what metric the 52% efficiency gain for the IceBlast 3.0 system is measured.
