Summary
Tom's Guide says the refreshed mini PC fixes the original A9 Max's heat and fan-noise issues while keeping its compact aluminum design, broad port selection and desktop-class feel.
IceBlast 3.0 cooling and the upgraded Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 raise AI performance to 86 TOPS, and the system stayed quiet during a month of daily use while supporting up to four 4K displays.
32GB of DDR5 now ships as a single stick instead of 2x16GB, leaving an easier path to 64GB but bottlenecking memory bandwidth enough that last year's model can post better benchmark scores.
At $1,699 on Amazon or $1,485 on Geekom's site before an extra 8% code, the 2026 edition costs more than the $1,199 original and is best suited to buyers who plan to upgrade rather than owners of the first model.
