2026 verdict
Near-twin Ryzen 7 boxes, and the Geekom AX8 Max (16GB + 1TB) is the mini PC that wins on price.
Both use an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS, DDR5-5600, 16GB SODIMM to 64GB, a 1TB Gen4 SSD and a 120W adapter, so the hardware is almost the same desktop. The Geekom A8 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) is the one that lists a Ryzen AI NPU, while the AX8 Max answers with two 2.5G Ethernet ports and two USB4 ports instead of one of each. Choose the AX8 Max as the cheaper, better-connected twin; choose the A8 when the NPU is the feature you actually need.
